为什么老公需要多做家务?
You Work Full Time, Too That chore gap holds whether women work full time or not. In other words, the second shift is alive in modern homes, despite uNPRecedented numbers of women working full time. So while men might be taking part in keeping the home running, women are still doing more than the men they live with. This holds whether they're married or have children in the household. He Needs to Invest If your husband isn't cleaning, organizing and caring for children, he's not investing in the cleanliness, organization and development of the kids. Taking ownership over an abundance of the day-to-day tasks means not only taking a bit of weight off your shoulders but also giving more attention to the smaller details around the house. He's not going to let things slide if people are counting on him. Yes, even if it's for folded towels and clean tiles. This Isn't 1950 We live in the 21st century, a time when men and women seek equal education, opportunities and employment. So why shouldn't things be more evenly split at home? For decades we've known the phrase "the problem that has no name," which is how writer Betty Friedan described the malaise that sets in when women are meant only to nurture. Everyone has their own opinion about what needs to be done around the house and how to do it. Even if your opinion leans toward "as little effort as possible," that doesn't mean you're excused. You Like TV, Too After a long day of work, your husband says he just wants to relax and watch TV instead of making dinner, bathing the kids or setting the table? Is he the only one who likes TV? Probably not. We all have long, hard days. Whether it was at the office, during a commute, at school or while at home with young kids, everyone likes and deserves TV. Knock out the chores, then collapse on the couch. His hard day isn't harder than your hard day. |
