� ���� ���� ���� ����� & ����� ������:

Growing up as a boy who is the eldest among my siblings, I did good house keeping and house chores. Though my parent hired house helps at some point, however, duties were shared equally amongst us; so, I babysat some of my younger siblings, washed dishes, did laundry, cooked food, did errands and a lot of them. The same case was applied to our other boys. Everyone must do something.

It didn't stop there: I grew up seeing my dad do house chores, and even better than some women could. If he feels that the food you prepared isn't what he wants, he dances inside the kitchen to prepare something totally delicious with some creative touch of recipes. He could do any house chores - ���� ��� ����� ��� ������� ����� - �� ��� �������� ���, �� ��� (�������� ���) ��� �� ���������.

This is the training of a child(ren), and with the help of parents (not just the SCHOOL), to balance the equation of ����� ������ + ������ + ��� = ��� ��� ������ ��� �� ����� ������, ��� ��� ��� ��������.

Then, a man cannot give what he doesn't have. You can't produce boys who know how to do these things without knowing how to do them yourself.

Most people especially men usually say that;

Boys and men are not supposed to do household chores, and the most some men or boys can do (as long as house chores is concerned) is to boil water for tea or cook noodles. All others are stories untold.

Whereas women and girls are Jack of the house, who must ensure that all domestic duties are fixed, despite where a lot of able bodied men exist.

The arguement is; men are not supposed to cook, wash dishes, care for babies, clean the house and do laundry. It's only for women.

We all need to understand what we're doing. Household chores are not what they are for a particular gender; they are what they are so that ����� ��� �� ���� - and, I believe both men and women are Human, so there is no need for arguing that it is meant for ONLY WOMEN.

For this to be corrected, parents should do the needful; they should ensure that their boy-children are given equal opportunity as their girls to do house chores and to grow in them.

These guys will get married someday, and it's not reasonable to employ a house help whereas there are only two adult at first who could take care of themselves. Even when a house help is employed, it is not an automatic pass for both Individuals to retire from serving themselves when need be.

This should be shared to help life to be long. ���� ����� ��� ���� ��� ��� ���������� ���� ���� ��� ���� ������ ������� ���� ���� �� ��� ����� �� ��������� ������ �����, ���� ������� ����� ������ ���������� ��� �����, ���� �� ���� ����� �� ��� ������� �� �������� ��� ������ ��� ���� ���� �� �� �� ����.

If you're a man and you do this, no matter how righteous and well conducted you are; perhaps you're closer to God than everyone on earth, You have failed in this one thing and it would definitely prove your righteousness abortive.

It can't be fair to think house chores are women-things. It is simply HUMAN-THINGS, and if you're a human, be more human to help out!!

Keep sharing‼
