And my boyfriend. Although not much. Just as much as I do (messy messy
messy house, too many computers and pizza boxes, too little space).
Interestingly, he was scared of cooking. My mother cooks at home (I moved
out when I was 17 to go to uni 300k away), and so I just assumed that it
was something that would happen for me when I wanted it to. He saw it as
something scary and out there. I see this actually as a reasonably
powerful demonstration of socialisation in my own life.
But now he cooks more often than I do, when I'm coding (even though
he codes too). And washes up.
Anyway, I think stuff like this is improving.
Mary.
