Recently, a Gallup poll revealed that regardless of the noise about gender equality, women still take up the bulk of housework. Apparently, the two home errands that men embark on are caring for the car and cleaning the yard. On the other hand, women take up six house tasks as against two chores than men embark on.
Women’s housework responsibilities include giving care to the children, laundry, cooking, home decorating and many others. Is this the situation in your home? Has your husband left you to fold tees, prepare dinner, clean the house and take care of the kids, while he just mows the lawn and cares for the cars?
Hear what people are saying about this matter;
Jonnie:
I’m not married yet, but I have a live-in. However, I take up the entire housework responsibilities, since she’s not skillful at house chores; in fact, I usually do it all over again when she does! But I’m not bothered about that anyway. I have a question here, ‘which is fair – is it to have the house chores divided equally between the man and the woman? If it is a mere relationship (no intension to hook up in marriage), should it also be an issue?
If yes, why should it be? Okay, perhaps it could be fair if the man trades off every other week – he does the giving of care to kids and laundry this week, while she takes up lawn mowing; then, there they go switching again the upper week? Or what do you think? Please let me hear your opinion. We all want to see how it becomes a fair deal, isn’t it?
Ronny:
It absolutely makes no sense, in fact, this is why I don’t want to settle down – I mean having a wife at home. I can’t stand a woman keeping an eye on me to do all that stuff for her – cooking, laundering. Then why the heck did I marry her? Just count me out of it okay!!!
Jeannie:
I take up all the cooking, laundering and such home chores; but my husband takes over when I become pregnant, and he continues until I give birth and eventually become strong enough to take over from him. He feels there’s no big deal about it. I’m quite proud of him!
Ruby:
My boyfriend takes up most of the house chores, including cooking. His views of tidiness are quite different from mine. While he wants regular cleaning, I prefer having things pile up a little, and then I would do a thorough cleaning occasionally. So, he ends up doing all the work always since he can’t stand when it piles up. Well… it’s not my fault.
