I find this so sexy! When is the last time you have seen this? Ok for all you exceptional guys out there that make this the normal part of your day, bless you! You own up to the household responsibilities and you equally chip away at it...WAY TO GO...What about all the others out there where they have responsibilities such as a career, commuting,pick up children at daycare, sports, dinner, homework....then the ever so challening role of completing all the 999 chores that are weighing you down like a pizza crust on a baby ant. We all wonder why marriages are ending in divorce????..check out the below stats:Not one person can do it all folks. Not one person is expected to do it all. Let's help one another..take the burden off and work as a team. The expectations a woman carries to take care of house, cooking, cleaning, laundry, children is enough to send somebody over the edge.
My ex and I fought over this very topic. If I work full time and so does he, we both should be contributing to housework equally. You tend to start to resent the person whom is not pulling his/her own weight. Mainardi states that we women have been brainwashed more than we can imagine. It is true..very true...does anyone remember the Heart Family barbie dolls??? I grew up playing with those...I found this picture of the dolls..please check it out: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieE-BSJ7AHid1ya9Ug8YRHTAiiS7DDUKPrxOfOcHvomEnzepDFO3g-lVQv7Fp0cA9_YZ6aYnl47kJ2ct3cCmDCp_OjZraXdDG3HQ69__BjKvIkbraq0hNkBCV900xs5gwDBVAkntpkmKSu/s320/Heart+Family.jpg
Little wifey..I remember feeling so much stress because all I wanted to do was go to sleep while he watched the tube I worked, without feelings of guilt on his side at all. It was hurtful. No, not all guys or people are like that but I think it's important to consider the situation you are in and realize it's two people working together in order to help one another. If you see the milk is low, go pick it up at the store. Don't assume the woman is going to take care of it.
Again, I am a single mom of an 8 year old and I have a friend whom used to make fun of me because I had my son helping out with dishes, laundry, vacuuming. I am teaching him that it is a part of life and it has to be done and EVERYONE is responsible for his/her part. Is this 100 percent all the time effective?..HELL NO , but I will keep trying so he makes his wife/partner very happy one day.
I agree completely. Apart of the reason why my boyfriend and I work is because we are even in the work that we share. Even though we dont live together, he's always at my place, and even here he cooks and cleans and takes out the trash. It's not expected that whenever he comes over there's a hot meal and clean apartment. I go to school full time and he works full time, but we both contribute to the amount of work taken to care for my household even though we dont live together.
