True eye opener 🫣

A friend came to my house for a beer, and we sat down and talked about life. ✨

After a while, I interrupted the conversation and told him, ′′I’m going to wash the dishes; I’ll be right back.” ✨

He looked at me like I told him he would build a spaceship. ✨

So he said to me with admiration and a little stumped, ′′Glad you help your wife; I rarely help mine because when I do, she never thanks me. ✨

Last week I washed the floor, and she didn’t even tell me thank you.” ✨

I sat back down with him again and explained to him that I don’t ′′help′′ my wife. ✨

My wife doesn’t need help; she needs a partner, a teammate. ✨

I’m her home partner… and due to that, all functions are divided, which is not “help” with household chores. ✨

I don’t “help” my wife clean the house because I also live in it, and I need to clean it too. ✨

I don’t “help” my wife cook because I also want to eat, and I need to cook too. ✨

I don’t “help” her washing dishes after eating because I use these dishes too. ✨

I don’t “help” my wife with kids because they are mine too, and I must be a father. ✨

I don’t “help” my wife wash, extend, fold, and put away laundry because it’s mine and my kids too. ✨

I don’t give a “helping hand” at home; I’m part of it. ✨

Then with respect, I asked my friend when was the last time his wife finished cleaning the house, doing laundry, changing the bed sheets, bathing the kids, cooking, organising, etc.. and did he say: “Thank you?” ✨

I mean a genuine thank you, like, “Wow, baby!! You’re amazing!!” ✨

Does this all seem absurd? ✨

Does it sound weird to you? ✨

When, once in your life, you cleaned the floor, you expected at least an excellence award with great glory… why? ✨

Haven’t you ever thought about that? ✨

Maybe, because, for you, macho culture taught you that everything is a woman’s task. ✨

Maybe you’ve been taught that all this should be done without you having to move a finger. ✨

So praise her as you would like to be praised, likewise, with the same intensity. ✨

Hold her hand and behave like a faithful companion, and assume your part, don’t behave like a guest who comes to eat, sleep, shower and satisfy sexual needs… feel at home, in your home. ✨

Change in our society begins in our homes, teaching our children the true sense of companionship ✨
