Is it really that important for men to do housework at home?

As the saying goes: "It is natural for men to earn money to support their families, and it is natural for women to take care of their children at home." This is a traditional concept handed down from China for thousands of years, so when men do housework, they often feel uncomfortable and feel that they are a big man doing what women should do and are worthless! Not only do I feel this way, but my male friends around me will also look down upon it. Even my wife will recognize the concept that it is useless for men to do housework, and then naturally let their men never touch housework, saying that this is a respect for him.

On the other hand, when women make money, they never feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, they think they are doing a very promising thing. Similarly, they are doing what each other should do naturally. Why does one feel worthless and the other feel promising? Is it because money is more expensive than housework? Maybe, because you can have food if you don't earn money from housework, and you can't have food if you don't earn money from housework. This is definitely a value that most people agree with. But in fact, the value of the two is the same, but the value brought by making money is tangible and visible, while the value brought by doing housework is intangible and needs people to perceive!

As for the husband and wife, who does housework and earns money, it is only according to the actual situation that the division of labor is different and the proportion of commitment is different. It doesn't matter whether you promise or not, but everything you promise to do is meaningful, because the purpose of * * * is to make this home warmer and happier!

Running a family, whether at home or outside, needs to be shared by both husband and wife, and don't take housework as a burden. When you cook a delicious meal, you get a happy smile from your lover and children; When you clean your home very clean and tidy, what you get is the comfort and warmth that this home brings you; When you take the initiative to contribute to this family, your family will appreciate you, cherish you and give you more love because of your contribution. Just like a man who cares about his wife and is willing to share housework, his wife will love him more because of his thoughtfulness.
