Yes, must be a regional thing. Where I live most families have moved on from pink jobs and blue jobs. It’s no longer the mother who is solely responsible for teaching/looking after the kids. I have two adults sons, 6 grandkids and they all pitch in with housework, cooking etc. My younger son is the main cook in their family, DIL doesn’t enjoy cooking, so that has been modelled to their kids. He learned how to make meals for the family when he was in high school . We wanted our sons to be self sufficient.
My other son likes to cook but his wife does too so they share the duties. One of the 14 year old twins (boys) loves to sew. He does most of the baking for their school lunches.
