Cooking, cleaning, doing homework, playing are just some of the tasks that housewives face every day. They take care of the house, children, and husband. As it turns out, not everyone understands this. So, a certain Internet user decided to explain to women that they are actually lazy, not doing even half of what they should. And got a reasonable answer.
On Facebook, as well as on other social networks, there are many groups for housewives in which women exchange experiences, ask for advice, share successes, and look for work. The administrator of one such group, “Stay at home Mum” (“Housewives with children”), was written by a user named Jonathan to express his opinion about the community members.
Immediately emphasizing that he does not support the views of feminists, the man said: “I think women should not be lazy. The men take care of the children and work full time. Why don’t women invest as much as they do?”
In his monologue, Jonathan relied on the idea that marriage is equality, where everyone does half the work: “You do your part, she does hers. Part of the job, part of taking care of children for everyone.”
It seems that he was most offended by the fact that housewives believe that what they do can be called a real job. After all, they sit at home with children, while men work hard and give them all the money: “Using someone and treating a man like a bank is not normal.” As a result, the man called all housewives the term golddiggers, “gold miners” – those who hunt for other people’s money, and said goodbye.
Group administrator his monologue, noting that such reports do not come often. And she couldn’t not publish such a funny text: “Jonathan … Buddy! Really? We asked if he needed a hug. He didn’t answer.”
In a few days, the entry has collected more than a thousand comments, among which many women indicated that they would love to go to work, but are forced to take care of the house and children.
One of the users responded to the phrase of a man that “sitting at home with children is not a job”: “In my state, child care services cost $ 600. I am raising 7 children. That is, I save us $ 4200 a month by staying at home and “sitting on the neck” of my husband.”
Another woman recalled who the money hunters are in reality: “Most often, the “gold diggers” do not have children, and if they do, they are looked after by caregivers while the “hunters” enjoy their husband’s money.
“This is what happens in a society that does not value women’s work,” said another member of the group. – It is strange that if a woman goes to work to take care of other people’s children, then she contributes and is appreciated. But taking care of your own is being a “huntress.”
It’s amazing how good and bad thoughts can be combined in one text. After all, there is nothing wrong with the idea that marriage is equality, where two can share responsibilities without shifting them to another. But to call housewives idlers who sit on the neck of their husbands … Jonathan clearly did not know what he was talking about.
