2️⃣ Household responsibilities and care: in many homes, partner/spouse statistics reveal the woman continues with cleaning, childcare, assisting aged relatives, shopping for the home, with partner/spouse happy sharing finances. All except the last-mentioned category run "50%-and-above," where women tend to remain homemakers How are things structured in your home?

I grew up to see my mom do everything. She was the first to wake and the last to sleep, always moving from one task to another, cooking, cleaning, washing, taking care of us, and even being the breadwinner. She rarely complained, but I could see the tiredness in her eyes sometimes.
It was as if the whole world rested on her shoulders while others barely noticed. Watching her shaped my understanding of responsibility, but also made me question why it seemed like women had to bear so much in silence. Even as a child, I wished someone would just tell her to rest, or maybe a helper show up and assist without complaints, She deserved that.
Now that I’m older, I realize she belonged to that “50%-and-above” category, where women do almost everything at home. And though I admire her strength, I know deep down that’s not the kind of life I want for myself.
In my own future home, I don’t want the word “homemaker” to define me. I want partnership, where love isn’t measured by chores, and care isn’t one-sided. I want a home where both partners share duties, where rest isn’t a luxury for one and responsibility isn’t a burden for the other. My mom’s story taught me love shouldn’t come with exhaustion. It should come with understanding, balance, and teamwork.
That's my goal in future.
You were born and educated by a great mother. Sam, like me, has learned a lot about everything related to household matters.
nice to meet you 👋🥰
That's so sweet
Nice to meet you too
Thanks for the compliment
Very true observation 'love shouldn’t come with exhaustion.' Marriage is a partnership where each give equally both rejoice or cry together.

Exactly
Both parties should be there for each other
That's the essence of coming together as one to me!
Power of two or the demise, it is on discussing and making sure we understand each other.

You must have learnt a lot from your lovely and resilient mother. Her sacrifices and passion towards your success is very strong.
Thanks for sharing, have an amazing day today.
Oh my!🥰
Thanks for reading
I appreciate
What if you father came home and said, "Sweetheart, I going to make you a cup of tea, so I want you to sit down and enjoy a rest while I finish sweeping the house and make dinner for us."
Will your Mom enjoy her rest or she will call an ambulance for him?
I'd be blown away if this happened to me.

That'd be shocking tho😂
But I'm sure my mom will appreciate the help
That's the goal.
Learn from the mistakes of your parents and be better than what they were.
Back then our mother's where doing things to keep the home, even at the detriment of their own mental and physical health.
It's so sad.
Now we know better, marriage is partnership not slavery.
True
I've really learnt
Thank you sis
