Nowadays there are many homes where housework is carried out by mothers, and fortunately increasingly, also by fathers. Household tasks should never fall on a single person when they live with more at home, they are everyone's business and not only for the female part of a family.
Those thoughts where the woman was the one who cleaned or the girls when they already had the capacity to do it, is more than obsolete. Because housework is a matter for the whole family, regardless of who spends more time working outside the home or how much children and adolescents have to study.
Distribute household chores fairly
Household chores should be distributed equally, taking into account, above all, the time available and the ability of each one to carry them out. If one person works all day outside the home and another works less, it is normal and logical that the person who has more time at home does more housework, but this does not exempt other people from doing their part as well.
People can be men or women, because there is no sex to clean nor are they divided by gender. They all have two arms and two legs to clean and to keep the home clean and tidy.
Distribute tasks according to capacity and time
As for your children, if they do not know how to do something, do not excuse them with that so that they do not do their homework, teach them to do it. Although at the beginning you may waste some time teaching them, think that it is to invest time so that when they know how to do it, they are able to carry out the housework correctly and individually. You will be giving them autonomy, responsibility and they will be able to have the satisfaction of doing things well done by themselves. All this is necessary for them to have a good development.
A table of tasks distributing them to each member of the family is essential. In this table, the time available within the home must be taken into account and that they adapt to each one and also to the time available. If, for example, one member of the family likes to do the dishes more than another and another likes to sweep the floor more, they can be distributed so that each one does what they like the most. Nevertheless, If there is no consensus regarding the distribution of tasks, then the table will have to be rotated, which means that everyone will do everything (as long as they have the capacity to do it), different days of the week.
It is necessary that in a home all the members are those who participate in the housework, because everyone has part of the responsibility that everything is well and that, above all, the coexistence is correct by all the members. A well-ordered home is a must for a happy family. Do you already know how you are going to distribute the household chores?
