My mother would always make me a meal when ever I would visit her?

Asked by The Fall of Man at 10 May,2013
I wouldn't even have to ask her. I would randomly stop by her house and she would lovingly go right into the kitchen and start making me a meal. My wife never does this. Why don't modern women do this anymore? Your wife will never treat you like your mother, will she?

It's more of a motherly instinct to ask about food, or want to feed your child, no matter how old. Wives don't typically look at their husbands as a child, and that's a good thing, isn't it? That would be sort of Freudian, viewing your wife as a mother.

1. shes your mom thats why.. no one can replace moms
   
2. I would say that your mother is your mother she has been with you for like ever and i suppose it could be seen as second nature to make you a meal as when you was a child growing up with her she would then, your wife on the other hand did not have this attachment to cooking for you and i suppose no your mother and your wife will probably never be the same! But come on you can cook your own food cant you :)
   
3. That was very nice of her to do that for you, sounds like you were a good son.
   
   That being said, modern women don't owe you anything, including your wife. Modern women have learned a few things since those days. They have learned that men know how to cook and clean and they've also learned that most men don't walk around with 2 broken arms. Cook your own meals! Women are not inferior!
   
4. She's your wife, not your mother... I do the same for my children when they're home, too.

6. you often have good questions...
   but...
   I have NEVER wanted "my woman" to treat me like her child.
   
   there are two competing instincts in females. "the mother instinct" and "the submissive sex toy" instinct. with "the mother instinct" they are the dominant and take care of their "child". the instinct I have always attempted to evoke, they are not dominant and want to be taken care of, physically, spiritually and mentally.
   
7. Your mother is from a different era where that was expected of women, now it's not so you would have to ask or bring it up with her. My grandmother is almost 80 and she wakes up around 4am to make breakfast for her (much younger) boyfriend (my grandfather passed away in 2004) before he goes to work, and she hurries home in the afternoon to make an early dinner before he gets home. It's just a different time, plus, older generations didn't rely on fast food as often, so cooking was important. They also had the manners to offer house guests something to drink.
   
8. Well, it is your situation. So whatever other people with their own situations have to do with it? FYI, I always feed each individual that comes to my home. In fact, I am a lot better hostess and cook than my late mother ever was. Now, if food is important to you, you should let your wife know that. After all, she is the one you've picked out of millions of other modern women.
   
9. We don't think of you as children. There is nothing more unattractive than seeing a grown man turn into someone's little boy. We need strong men, men we can rely on. Not men who have to be mummied. I make meals - for everyone. And I'm sure your wife does too.
