I hated Home economics - would have preferred something more DIY orientated - might be better at it now! I think it’s a fallacy how many men try to suggest women love doing it. - I don’t.
I like good meals and a clean house but hate actually doing the donkey work. I usually just find these things a chore. Usually OK once I get started but hate the thought of it. It’s good how it’s not considered a female thing the way it used to be.
