Answer: Generally speaking, boys should help out in the kitchen. There are however, certain reasons why it would be best for them not to help in the kitchen.
Step-by-step explanation:
Some of these reasons include:
Cultural practices - in cultures where men don't cook and instead leave it to their wives, it would not be logical to allow boys in the kitchen because it might lead to them going against the culture when they grow up.
Upsetting gender roles - There are traditional gender roles that are ascribed to males and females and cooking is not traditionally for males. Asking boys to help in the kitchen would go against those roles.
They might not bow to female's authority - If boys are being told to help a female relative in the kitchen, there is a chance that they will be hard to control because they are generally stubborn and might decide to do things their way instead of how they are told to.
Boys keep eating - Boys generally have a high metabolism and if told to help in the kitchen, might keep eating the things they are supposed to help cook.
