Should We ‘Help’ Each Other?
I do not help my wife with her children, because they are also my children, and my job is to be a father. I do not help my wife to wash or fold clothes, because the clothes are also mine. I am not a help at home; I am part of the house. And as for praise, I asked my friend when it was the last time he thanked his wife after she finished cleaning the house, washing clothes, changing bedsheets, or cooking. Does that seem absurd to you? Does that seem strange? When you, once in a lifetime, cleaned the floor, you expected a prize for excellence. Why? Praise her as you wanted to be praised, in the same way, with the same intensity. Give her a hand and behave like a true companion, not as a guest who only comes to eat, sleep, and bathe. The author may be a mystery, but their story rings true. Couples should not help each other. We must work together as equal partners in love and life.
Perhaps you’ve heard this story before. It recently went viral online and inspired people to look at the responsibilities of couples and housework in a new light. A friend came to my house, and we talked about life. At some point in the conversation, I said, “I need to wash the dishes. I’ll be right back.” “It’s nice you help your wife,” he said. “I do not help because when I do, my wife does not praise me. Last week, I washed the floor and got no thanks.”
I Don’t Help My Wife and Neither Should You
I explained that I did not “help” my wife. My wife does not need help; she needs a partner. It is not a “help” to do household chores.
I do not help my wife clean the house, because I live here, too.
I do not help my wife cook, because I also want to eat.
I do not help my wife wash the dishes, because I also use those dishes.
