Household Chores

My blood boils every time I hear husbands and wives complain about household chores. Husbands refuse to clean. Wives refuse to mow the lawn. Taking out the garbage is supposedly a “man’s job” and doing laundry is supposedly a “woman’s job”. Why are we still classifying household chores based on gender? The last time I checked it was 2015 – not 1950.

Gone are the days when women stayed at home to raise a family and maintain a home. With both parents working, both parties should be pitching in to do household chores.

Household chores should be discussed prior to getting married to avoid disappointment later on.

Parents should be teaching their children to be well rounded and self sufficient human beings. Mothers should be raising their sons to be able to cook, clean and how to hem their pants. Father’s should be raising their daughters to mow the lawn, pick weeds and how to change a tire.

Can you imagine if parents did this? Children wouldn’t think of certain household chores as a “man’s job” or a “woman’s job”. They would view it as a job that just needs to get done.

It’s time to throw away this backwards way of thinking where household chores are concerned and start working together as a team to get them done.

Do you believe that certain household chores should only be done by a man and a woman?
