Mom Struggles
As a boy mom I want to raise my Sons to learn how to cook and clean! As a woman I notice that we are normally looked at to take care of a lot of the household chores like cooking and cleaning. Is it fair absolutely not especially when it is a necessity and needed to survive. This should not be something we look at as a gender role and I hate it when this is discussed and the only rebuttal is that the new gen women are nothing like their grandma or mother 🤣 That really grinds my gear and I refuse to stretch myself thin working full time and also left solo to upkeep the house and ensure dinner is served. IDK maybe it’s just me but all i can say is I give it to the Mom with a spotless house home cooking and a full time job because being the only woman in my house it can get overwhelming trying to keep up with it all! Please feel free to share it would be nice to see that I am not alone in this 💕

In today's fast-paced world, it's crucial to equip our children with practical life skills. Cooking and cleaning are essential, not just chores but foundational life lessons that foster independence and responsibility. These skills should not be tethered to gender roles; instead, they should be viewed as crucial competencies for all. Research shows that children who participate in household duties grow to be more responsible adults, equipped to manage their own homes. This approach not only alleviates the burdens traditionally placed on mothers but also prepares boys to contribute equally in domestic spaces. Additionally, discussing the importance of cooking can empower both boys and girls to appreciate nutrition, fostering healthier lifestyles. Engaging children in these activities helps broaden their understanding of family dynamics, challenges societal norms, and promotes equality at home. Remember, parenting is a shared journey. Whether you are a mother, father, or caregiver, encourage collaboration in household tasks to create a balanced environment for growth. Share your thoughts and experiences with the community; we all strive for a supportive network! #letschat #momlife #dadsoflemon8 #cooking #cleaning #adulting
I’ve always noticed this and both my parents have almost the exact same job but my mom and I are the ones that cook and clean on days they both work?
