The MIndset needs to be changed. There is no shame in load-sharing. Until we accept it wholeheartedly, nothing can bring positive social change. I hope many would have learnt about the chores and how much efforts one need to have to finish these. Thanks for writing about this.

Nice post and I am blessed to have a partner who totally get himself involved in house chores too along with his office work. Everyone must learn that its each individuals responsibilty and not only the women in the house is responsible. Great writeup.

I know and I hate such people and their mindset. I’ve even written a post about it – http://growingwithnemit.com/lockdown-helped-families-adapt-evolve/

A lovely post. I have seen some men think that doing household chores will hurt their manhood, the worst consequences of our patriarchal society.

Seriously I had a my helping husband by my side too.. He used to show some tantrum here and there but would eventually shared the load like a pro. For that matter, even I gave my little one some duties… 😀 Adapting to a situation is the only way to survive.

You raised several very pertinent points. Yes it is true most of us men, do not do or like to do much house work. We think it is a woman’s job. Corona virus and lockdown as shattered the myth. Many men had to do somework or other, out of compusion, compassion or shame. In the US, men compulsorily help out their wives, lest they choose to go single. In India, maids do a lot of work in homes that can afford maids. Now corona virus has deprived house holds of maids because of lockdown. Men don’t have much choice but do something, no matter how miniscule. If the things continue this way, I guess next generation of male child will be raised differently.

I am happy to read this Neha that someone picked the matter of those WhatsApp jokes where men are shown as a victim due to performing their own house chores during the lockdown, like seriously these jokes never made me laugh the same question always arose in my mind that what’s a big deal if someone is helping his partner in her daily household chores? Well written stay safe stay healthy.

Nice post, Kudos to all men who came forward to join hands in house chores.
I completely support teamwork when we are a family and stay together, so why not work together.

This post really pinch me,because my hubby is same. He is not interested in doing housechore or look after kids. Lot of burden on me that sometimes frustrates me. I don’t want my son to be like that, lazy bum.
