Do women treat men like children?

A debate on morning TV recently asks the question - Do you leave 'to-do' lists for your partner? Maybe even instructions on how to perform household tasks and a few notes when it comes to looking after the kids??

The head teacher of a leading girls' school has said too many women are treating their husbands like children - and it's time to stop.

Vicky Bingham, head of the £18,000-a-year South Hampstead High School, thinks male domestic ineptitude is a myth and women should loosen their grip on the household to prove to their daughters that they don't have to be perfect at everything in life.

The trouble is, we are all so busy, sometimes you have to explain things in words of one syllable or end up doing the tasks yourself.

Much as we all would like to be superwoman, we don't all have blue tights and a red cape - mine have certainly disappeared!
 
I suppose the question is, would your partner allow you to be treated like a child? Of course every relationship is individual, and you have to do what's best for your loved ones.

Having children, doesn't come with a rule book, nor do relationships. I think that being honest with yourself, and your loved ones could be the way forward. Even if that means leaving a "to do" list where it can be easily found!
