MAKE ME UNDERSTAND


I am struggling to understand how while doing her family laundry in the bathroom or outside the main house, will hear and attend to a crying baby in the living room where the father is as well, but on his remote and still can’t hear the cry.
 
I am also wondering even with her multitasking skills; how she is expected to be in the kitchen making family dinner and at the same time help the daughter or son complete their assignment before they are due for bed, when he is on his phone for whatever reason
 
Friends, make me understand how she is expected to be the last to sleep and first to wake up when waiting for the spouse to come back home past 10pm from a leisure activity-say…football match or just hanging out with friends- eat with him, perform well in bed, stay awake long night hours due to the cries of the sick child or the weaning baby and still manage to wake everyone up after making their breakfast and their morning water for shower.
 
Will coming home early to family make you less of a man?
Just make me understand how no one will take their time to recognize her tough routine and schedule and appreciate her for what she does and who she is.
 
“Or should she renew the marriage vow and ask for money for our humble services as the other helps do, to be accorded the value and worth befitting her?” just thinking aloud.

Make me understand what is wrong with being a ‘she’ that make me by default the one to carry everyone’s’ burden- my siblings as well as struggling parents.
 
Why should I be canned and blamed for a brother who traded his homework for play?
 
And why should I be the one multitasking to do chores in the house and still be expected to think on what needs to be done more and actually help realize these manly duties before night falls when others are just playing their video games?
 
Moreover, why should mother and father carry me like a puppet to choose me a life partner when am of age as if I don’t know what I want in life? After all am of age now…

Is the culture fair? Is the culture demeaning?
Will one become a woman by consciously and purposefully tending to something that needs her attention but she could not attend to, for being busy or forgot?
Please guys,…make me understand these things!
