b. Husbands Who Share Housework Make Their

c. Sharing Housework Makes the Family Happier.
In many cultures, doing housework is considered a
woman’s duty. The mother is usually the
homemaker, who has to do most of the household
chores, while the father is the breadwinner, who is
responsible for the family finances. However, it is
not good for the mother when the rest of the family
does not help out. When families share household
chores, it is good for them as individuals and good
for all the relationships within the family.
According to psychologists, most people do not
realise the enormous benefits that come to a family
when husbands and children share the housework.
Children who share the housework with their mums
and dads do better at school, become more
sociable, and have better relationships with their
teachers and friends. They learn good skills, are
more responsible, and tend to be overall good
people. When men share the housework, they tend
to have better relationships with their wives. Women
often feel happy when they see their husbands
doing housework because it says, ‘He cares about
me and he doesn’t want to put all of the housework
on me.’ Women whose husbands do not contribute
to the household chores are more vulnerable to
illness and tend to think more about divorce.
When everyone works together on household chores,
it creates a positive atmosphere for the family and
sets a good example for the children. This is
especially true if mum and dad can find a way to work
well together and are not critical of each other

Doing chores helps children learn about what they
need to do to care for themselves, a home and a
family. They learn skills they can use in their adult
lives, like preparing meals, cleaning, organising and
keeping a garden.
Being involved in chores also gives children
experience of relationship skills like communicating
clearly, negotiating, cooperating and working as a
team.
When children contribute to family life, it helps them
feel competent and responsible. Even if they don’t
enjoy the chore, when they keep going they get the
feeling of satisfaction that comes with finishing a
task.
And sharing housework can also help families work
Nowadays when society develop day by day, people
have no time to do chores, especially women. Not
only do they have full-time job, but they also take
care of their children and do the housework. In my
opinion, family members should share housework
together. One reason is that sharing housework can
connect family members. Adult members do labors
like laundry and cooking, children just do simple
chores like watering garden or making their bed.
Sharing housework makes us feel less tired and
equal. Another reason is that doing housework
brings us the knowledge of organizion of things,
especially children. They will get to know how to
keep their belongings tidy and clean. In addition, we
will be more responsible for our family. In
conclusion, we should share housework to improve
