Laundry Goes Odd Even

Gone are the times when household work used to be only women’s department. Now is the time when both the partner shoulders equal responsibility, is it home chores, office job or anything. Things are on way towards a much needed change, though it is going to take many more years until we make a better society for women as well as men, but at least things have started working in a favorable direction.

Awareness is always a keyword. And I really appreciate Ariel for doing their part in spreading such a nice message through their campaign.  I have seen many household where men even don’t bother to collect the dried clothes from outside after a wash. There is a lot of ego and attitude problem in our society and it really needs a change. Sharing a caring are the fundamentals of life.

What we teach our kids now; they are going to carry it and practice forever. In our home, my husband is my partner in true sense. We share all the work equally. And when it comes to laundry, we both are support to each other. He never ever made me realize that washing is only female task.

                                                              

                                     

In fact we both follow a typical odd and even mode of working with laundry. Hold on we don’t follow odd and even dates of calendar but we do it as per our convenience. It is all about supporting and respecting each one. It is simple if I feel worn out; tired he would do the laundry. And none of us ever take undue advantage of this side.  There are times when I want to get up late, lazy around, read newspaper till long or go for a long morning walks, laundry is done by husband. And sometimes I would surprise him with washed clothes hanging in the balcony before his wakes up or whenever he has long working hours and feels tired. Laundry or kitchen duties are both done by us; it’s nobody’s sole responsibility.

This is the kind of understanding we have developed in these three years. It’s not that we never fight and things are goody – goody all times. We share some very sweet and sour as well as some bitter moments, and so is life.
