Why do household chores mean to women?
This article is not based on any women’s liberation. It is only a sentiment of millions of hearts that I would like to shout out. Because secret thought is a place where you can share your inner thoughts from which you are going through.
It’s an extremely basic question does Household chores mean to men and women both or only the women are responsible for all the household chores as men are responsible for earning bread and butter for their families.
This is the reality which women are facing from years. Even if women hold all the responsibilities of household chores and children. Still, they are treated as what they are accomplishing for the entire day. Their work does not appreciate, because of unpaid work.
Why women must learn all household chores?
It has been constantly asked a girl whether she knows how to cook dishes. Some years ago the reason was that the men needed to win cash and raise their family and family members and women had to take care of all the household chores so the two of them could carry on with a cheerful life by helping one another.
Truly, it is correct because an individual who is originating from work with bunches of worry in their brain cannot do the household chores and a woman is the one who can take care of the house that a man can never do.
Furthermore, I believe that if both understand their responsibility and play their role effectively then only a married life can work happily.
In the village women also visit the field. They used to go to the farm to harvest the crop and take care of the animals and after that, they had to cook and do all other activities. But still, I have heard that in past times women are not allowed to do jobs because men’s manhood does not allow them to get out of the house.
It makes me laugh. If you are not allowing your women out of the house then why are you allowing them to go to the fields?
When women started working, they always insulted them by saying that if women were going out of the house, it meant they were Breaching dignity.
But as time passed, things started changing and women started studying and they too started joining the private government sectors. But still, they are responsible for these questions “do you know how to cook?”. “Do you know household chores?”
Gender inequality in the home
Even though they are on a good package but to be a good woman they need to learn housework but why? I do not like to do all the household chores. Does this mean that I am not a good girl or that I will never be a good wife or mother?
Why are men not asked if they can cook? If both are working then why does it mean for women to learn housework as men do not like to cook or do other activities? Maybe this is the reason and yes it is a valid reason but what if women do not like the same, if she does not know household chores then she is not an ideal woman, wife, or daughter?
Women who do jobs. Their schedule will make you think about how they are doing it. They go to the office and then return home. They are required to complete all the work before leaving and after returning home. After finishing all the work they go to bed. If they have a child they will also have to take care of their child.
I know women who are in a good position, they do all the household work and look after their children. Their life frightened me severely. I am not criticizing anyone. It is not on a personal note. Trust me, I love them. I respect them. They are perfect but I know how it feels to them.
An incident
Let me share with you an incident that makes me realize that, yes, the tags of mother, wife, and women are not obliged to do all the household chores. I met with a person, As they taught me computers in the early days, I share a brotherly bond with him. One day I asked him about his schedule and he told me that after coaching he goes back to his house and helps her mother. I asked the aunt not well so you help her.
Then he replied no, I Help my mother in household chores.
Because she is not responsible for all the work alone, she is not forced to do all the things and it has made him more respectful in my eyes.
My only motive for writing this article is if you are a man and your wife is a working woman. You should help her in any way. Trust me, it will help you live a happier life.
Even if you are a son, daughter, and it doesn’t matter if your mother is a working woman or a housewife. It is also your responsibility to help her with household chores. Even though I don’t like to do housework but I still help My mother because I know all these tag- mother, wife, and women, not compelled her to do everything alone.
Household chores mean to men and women both
Both need to learn work because somewhere after graduation both boys and girls move out of their hometowns to study or concerning jobs. And they get separated from their family if they had learned how to cook or other household chores so their life will be easier. Maybe they can afford the maid, but there is no guarantee that the maid will be available for 365 days. It is important to learn how to cook if they cannot afford the maid. Even in their married life, they can help each other.
Unless women are free from the burden of unpaid labor, they will never be truly free to pursue careers to their full potential or gain equality in their relationships. The effort needs to come from both ends. Men need to realize that household work is in some way not unpaid. By cooking meals yourself,
you are saving the money that you may fork out to a hired help. Besides, women need to trust men and ask them for help
It takes two to build a home and it should take two to sustain it.
Much obliged to you for your time. Share it with apathetic individuals in your gathering so they get familiar with the specialty of helping their mom, sister, and spouse in the kitchen. Furthermore, I would like to hear from your side what you think. Do we need gender equality in household chores as well?
