Husbands, are they a full-time career?

In some quarters it is strongly believed (quite ardently) that the modern working woman is neglecting her husband and to not neglect one's husband, a wife needs/must be at home 24/7.

Is caring and serving ones husband is a full-time career? Is this really true?

After I read this I wondered how my husband was being neglected as I am one of those "modern" working women. I am not being flippant here, I really want to know what else I should be doing that a woman at home is doing and I'm not?  I have worked most of our marriage and so far he doesn't look very neglected, in fact he is looking very healthy and not bad for his age!

• he gets all his meals home-cooked from scratch and (generally) on time each night (healthy, whether he wants healthy or not!!)
• his  house is clean and tidy and everything is put away
• the washing is done regularly and he never runs out of socks or jocks unless he has hidden them and I can't find them
• the groceries are bought on time and dear husband never runs out of his favourites such as bread, cheese and milk
• treats are supplied on a regular basis (except I won't buy him the hotdog machine that he really wants as I am sure it will only encourage unhealthy eating!!)
• the bills are paid - he never needs to think about them
• run errands when required 
• listen to his ideas to change the world (!) or read things he has written
• bedroom activities whenever
• and if he needs me, he can always call me. 

So far I can't see what more I can do for him as all his needs seem to be met - but I might be wrong.  What sorts of things do for your husband?

None of these things are rocket science, they are all part of being married I would have thought. My husband does lots of things for me too - he loves to vacuum (don't know why!), he mends things that have broken, he puts things together that come in flat packs, he dries the dishes in the evenings (sometimes), he takes the dogs for their walk early in the morning  (whilst I lie in bed) etc.... We do things for each other, isn't this what married life is all about?

Is caring/serving ones husband a full-time job, no, not really, he is an adult and can look after himself to a large extent.  One doesn't need to be at home all the time as far as I can see unless he had a disability or illness, but that is something quite different. 

I am a strong believer in husbands being able to do things themselves, such as prepare meals, clean, wash clothes, buy food - as one never knows when they will need these skills. When my mother suffered her stroke, my dad became a full-time carer, he had to cook, clean and wash + go shopping and buy women's clothing and the like. Men can't be treated like babies and need to be able to do things themselves.  It can creates all sorts of issues later one.

Ok, will get off my soap box on this one!!
