Housework is family life, which generally refers to washing dishes, washing clothes, cooking, cleaning shoes, sweeping the floor, mopping the floor, taking out the garbage, buying food, washing vegetables, placing furniture, cleaning dust and keeping the house clean and tidy. Even picking up and dropping off children is housework.

In many families, children often see their father lying on the sofa watching TV, their mother busy at home, cooking and washing clothes, and their father busy. What impression will this leave on children? Doing housework is what mothers should do, which leads to the misunderstanding of women-women will do housework when they grow up. Boys, in particular, will grow up to be like their fathers.

There is a picture book called "The Story of Zhujiajian Island" which vividly describes this situation:

Every morning,

Dad Zhu always shouts, "Honey, where's breakfast? Hurry up! "

The two sons of the Zhujiajian family always shout, "Mom, where's breakfast? Hurry up! "

Every night,

Go home. The two sons of the Zhujiajian family always shout, "Mom, where's dinner? Hurry up! "

Father Zhu always shouts, "Old woman, where's dinner? Hurry up! "

Zhu's father and Zhu's two sons are used to their mother's efforts. After a long time, they take it for granted.

And Zhujiajian's mother is like a microcosm of mothers.

Housework seems to be a woman's natural obligation.

"You are pigs", this is mother Zhu's resistance. After Zhu's mother left home, it seems that both the father and the children lost their self-care ability. They have become "pigs", unable to take care of themselves for breakfast, dinner, washing dishes and washing clothes. This house is like a pigsty. Although this is only a humorous story, it vividly shows lazy male chauvinism.

Sexually speaking, no one has to do housework. The default traditional family ethics will deepen children's misunderstanding of women.

In fact, doing housework itself is not a bad thing for children.

Doing housework can make children put themselves in the shoes of adults. Knowing that housework is not easy, they will not litter casually and will not deliberately cause unnecessary trouble to adults. At the same time, as a member of the family, children also have the obligation to maintain and beautify the living environment. Over time, children's sense of responsibility will improve.

Any housework can't be solved by just messing around. Learning to cook is not like instant noodles. Just put the seasoning and heat the water. Cooking is a process. It needs to consider the choice of materials, the cooking process, the amount of seasoning, and finally it may become a bowl of delicious food, and every step needs to be considered by children.

In the process of doing different housework, children's practical ability can be continuously improved. Washing clothes requires rubbing, sweeping the floor requires hands to cooperate, and cutting vegetables requires hand-eye coordination. Children constantly mobilize their hands in small things, thus improving their hands-on ability.

After all, children have to face unfamiliar environments by themselves. Having life skills will make children more confident to face the unknown life, but a certain self-care ability will never make children live too badly. After all, independence is the only way to pursue a better life.

In a word, every family member has the responsibility and obligation to do housework. As the saying goes, "If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?" Only by doing the "small" things in front of us can we do bigger things.

Mother is always trapped in the love of her family, unconsciously "kidnapping" herself and trapping herself in all kinds of housework. But as a family, if mothers really have the freedom and right not to do housework, children, let's start by sweeping the floor, washing dishes and folding clothes!
