MEN AND CHORES ARE ENEMIES [WE-#167]

Hi everyone, it's another weekend, it has been a wonderful day so far, I slept late last night because I was trying to edit a video that I would post on Sunday, sleeping late actually made my day so stressful because I was feeling so tired and in class I had to represent my group for our communication skills course but thankfully the woman changed her mind on us presenting and I am glad it turned out that way, not that I wasn't prepared, no, but it was because I was feeling sleepy and tired and I wouldn't have been very active to present anything.

Currently, I am in school lying down on the classroom chair and thinking about things I would have been doing at home if I were home. Today being Saturday, it would have been a wash day, a day to clean and make everything sparkling. Now the prompt says how do we make our partner do the house chores for us? Hmmmm, my husband is someone who you can't tell to help you with house chores. He always has an excuse to evade ever doing anything, but he is always first to make a mess of the house and this sometimes makes me get angry, but I have Zeroed my mind to always ignore him.

But you see if you want my husband to help you with anything, just promise him he will get some sugar that night hehe, you won't have to remind him twice about what to do, he will even call you to ask what else you wanted to be done.

One time I had come home late from school and was very tired and I had told him I don't think I would like to do any chores that day as it was late and he said he was going to help me if I was going to be sweet with him that night, though I knew I was tired, I just thought that okay why not, at least I would be getting my chores done. He quickly started doing the chores I had wanted to do without me lifting a morsel, and after that, he got some sugar lolz.

On a normal note, he wouldn't want to help you do anything, he has this mentality that house chores are for women, and not only him but also most men in my country and around the world, well at least there's still something I can use to bargain him helping to do some chores. He's a bit old-fashioned so I have to think of ways to get him to do what I want. I take it as a challenge to make him understand that helping out with chores is not something only women should do. I'm determined to change his mind about this.

What comes to my mind about my husband rejecting to help me do chores is that he wasn't trained to do chores, even though he tells me as a child he had his own kind of chores and he was always angry whenever he did it, till he was old enough to be by himself, I remember when we were courting, whenever I went to his house everything thing was always sparkling, but in our six years of being married, my husband hasn't helped to do chores on his own will, that doesn't make me love him less, I just understand that he isn't just built for it. I've accepted that he's just not the kind of person who likes to do chores and I have no problem with that. I've learned to manage and do these chores without feeling bad that he doesn't help me.
