My wife gets mad because I spend a lot of time at my parents' house, what should I do?

My wife is a terrible cook, she doesn't know how to clean, she doesn't like doing laundry, for all those reasons, I spend 5 hours everyday at my parents house, my mom is a great cook, I love how she cooks, also, she keeps her house so clean, and my dad is always inviting me to cool plans such as fishing or camping. However, my wife wants me to stop going to my parents' house, according to her, she needs me at home to help with the kids and the housework, but that's so boring! what should I do?

1. ur a husband and father. u need to helpout ur family! grow up... u can always make cool plans with ur kids...
2. Just talk to her about it
3. help out around the house.
4. then why dont you cook and have a family meal with you your wife and kids
5. She's your wife...go home to her. However boring she may be, it doesn't exclude the fact that you are MARRIED to her. Give her some respect. You shouldn't have married her if you really have to post this question on Yahoo Answers. If you love her, you should know what to do. Be a FATHER to your kids. believe me, I grew up with no dad and I'm kind of offended by this question. Hope you can work this out. Best regards.
6. You have responsibilities. You can't leave your wife to do all the work because you want to go have fun. That's not fair. You aren't even there for your own kids, apparently. Spend less time at your parents' house and help her. If she doesn't do things up to your standards, teach her how to.
7. Learn to cook and help a bit... you still can have time with your father at the weekend, or a day under the week. But you married her, you have your own family.. think did you do something "cool" with your kids last week? Your father seems to be a good father, so why dont you want to be a good father?
8. be a man. stay with your wife and kids . satisfy the wife in bed then order her to clean the house right and good everyday . see your parents on holidays . every other holiday as you will spend the other holiday with her family
9. I think it's cool how you're still able to hang out with your parents that way. Seeing as mine would just not even want me there but I think you shouldn't be spending your everyday at their house. At least go their everyday and about your wife... Not to get all stereotypical but yeah you don't see men/boys/husbands clean that often but do some shit yourself. Quite honestly, you sound like you're not doing anything either, you say she doesn't clean, so who does the cleaning? The kids? Just talk to your wife about it. You aren't helping your situation by going to your parents' house for five hours everyday and you DO need to be with your kids. As said before, that's great that you can be with your parents that long everyday but you need to maintain your own family because at one point, they may be all you have. If you don't straighten up the situation now, you aren't going to like the situation in the future.
10. Troll. You don't have a wife or kids.
11. If you and your wife both work, then you should not expect her to be doing everything, you should certainly be doing some of the housework, cooking etc. and even if she doesn't work, she presumably has children to look after, which probably makes her very tired,and she could do with some help. and your children could do with seeing more of their father. You don't live at your parents home any more, you live with your wife. Your life is with her now. You should visit your parents once a week, and spend the rest of the time with your wife. Your parents should not be encouraging you to spend all your time with them. if I was your mother, I would tell you to go home.
