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!
A Standing ovation for this masterpiece...Make me understand!
