Is it right to share house chores between husband and wife?
A lady said to me that once she is married, herself and her husband will share the house chores equally especially when they start having children.
I looked at her in amazement and told her that it is very possible she get what she want in her man but she shouldn't be so sure that the particular desire will be granted.
Sharing house chores may work well for some homes especially in western world, but when it comes to house chore, many African men will want to prove to you the reason they are called man, that is when they have so much idea about tradition and culture.
Most men cannot even sweep the floor let alone bath a child. And if you have a man doing some house chores while he was a bachelor and you think that will also still be the case after marriage that should remain in your thought because you know the real identity of each other after the oath has been taken.
Yes, woman are not slaves and shouldn't be treated as one, however, men shouldn't be forced to partake in house chores.
What is the essence of the sharing formula when you still need to go over what he has done because most men cannot do this house chores as neat as a woman can do it.
Personally, i believe a "responsible and caring man" will help you with house chores when he is less busy or when he feels you need to be helped or if his mood allows him.
A responsible man should know how to appreciate and spoil a good woman with gifts and surprises because it is never easy to be a woman who knows her duty.
Men are to provide for the family and if by chance a woman is also providing for the family along with the man as expected by the recent economic brouhaha or whatever the case may be, that doesn't mean that the man should then be forced to do what he doesn't want.
When you fight for equality among genders i just think we need to apply wisdom.
I know many ladies may not agree with my stand and you a free to share your opinion on this issue.

It is not good to force it on him, like you said "a real man will do what he is supposed to do at the right time".
ReplyDeleteIt will not be by force, he is the man and the financial responsibility is what i expect from him, not because i am not financially capable too but so far i cannot force the chores on him he is not expected to also force financial duties on me.
ReplyDeleteSharing the chores is the way and understanding will make it argument free.
