In the twenty-first century, husbands do not need to chase mammoths and antelopes, build dwellings from branches and clay, watch the spear around a fire so that saber-toothed tigers do not devour his wife and children. They don’t even need to repair sockets and assemble furniture, as this work is done by professionals. But in everyday life, the division into male and female responsibilities still remains, but some kind of unequal. In most cases, the husband and wife work the same number of hours per week, but if the man, returning home, begins to play "tanks" or lies on the sofa, then the woman has to work out the second shift near the stove, mop and washing machine. It is time to put an end to this injustice and revise the list of men's household responsibilities.
Car wash
This obligation causes men the least questions. Although, no, it doesn’t at all - once again, no representative of the stronger sex refuses to wash his car. To do the same procedure with the wife’s car, as a rule, no one is against it. Especially in our time, when there is no need to use a brush and a rag, and instead, it is enough to call in a car wash and drink coffee, while a specially trained person will do all the dirty work.
To make the bed
Even if a man agrees to undertake this daily work, there may be a problem in time. After all, while he is going to work, his wife can still inspect the tenth dream. In fact, do not pull her from the bed to the floor to clean up the bedroom! The conclusion is - to make a bed should be someone who likes to sleep longer.
But if the couple wakes up at the same time, the head of the family doesn’t need to spend several minutes to straighten the blanket, beat up the pillows and cover it all with a blanket.
Vacuum the rooms
For some reason, it is believed that cleaning is a primordially female occupation. It looks unfair, because husband and wife, spending time on the same living space, litter it about the same. So this duty can be divided by scheduling. For example, one of the spouses vacuums on Tuesdays, and the second on Fridays.
By the way, in addition to exercises with a vacuum cleaner, a man can perform the rest of the work:
- wipe the dust;
- To water flowers;
- clean the toilet and sinks;
- wash the stove, oven and refrigerator.
Taking out the trash
It is not so difficult to leave a house with you to take a bag of garbage. It will take a few seconds to lower it into the mine chute shaft, and not more than five minutes to convey it to the nearest tanks in the yard. If in the morning every moment is worth its weight in gold, no one bothers to make a promenade in the trash in the evening - even a very busy person can take on such a duty.
Cook food
Cooking is more complicated than making a bed or cleaning. It requires talent and takes more time. If the head of the family does not confuse a shovel and a cooker, and also knows how to use a pepper mill, he may well make a quick lunch or dinner - at least fry potatoes and make a vegetable salad. And with the preparation of breakfast for his beloved, he will completely cope.
Well, in those cases when a man is a real kitchen virtuoso, who can do both honey and honey and cook bechamel sauce, nothing prevents him from taking the reins of power management into his own hands. In the end, everyone knows that men are the best cooks.
Go shopping
The fact that men do not like to go shopping is to blame for the women themselves. After all, they always find arguments like “take the wrong thing”, “pick up excess”, “don’t look at expiration dates”, “lose the list”, “forget what it came for”, “confuse chickpeas and mung” - and then drag heavy packages home.
The husband is an adult and quite capable person, and not a small child. And he is definitely able to make a purchase of products for a week. Moreover, he just has enough physical strength both to carry a loaded trolley around the store and to bring food home.
Wash things
Those times when it was necessary to soak linen in cold river water, and then, without departing from the reservoir, were manually rubbed and twisted for two hours in a row. Each house has an automatic washing machine, and a man will surely be able to load his things into it. And even sort them before it into black-white-color. And the rinse aid powder will pour into the desired compartments. And she will get clean clothes, and even hang them out to dry. Because nothing depends on the presence of certain sexual characteristics in this matter.
Wash up
Another housework, from which men in every possible way break away. And some even broadcast to the whole world that it is prescribed to women to fry pans by fate, higher intelligence and structural features of genes. What is so terrible about grabbing a sponge and washing your own plate is not clear. In general, it is time to share this obligation between spouses - just in case, so that the word "wife" ceases to be in the male mind a synonym for the word "housekeeper".
Ironing
In the age of steam generators, putting a shirt, trousers and a jacket in order is not a problem. Yes, and with an ordinary iron can be controlled, if you practice on less valuable T-shirts and sheets. To make a claim to his wife that some wardrobe item is not ironed means to sign his own insolvency. Keeping track of men's things is the responsibility of the man himself if he is old enough to start a family.
