Burden Of House Chore And Panaceas!

Young Mothers, listen up, please!... Dear mothers, it's important to always delegate responsibilities to your little children to avoid sudden death due to stress; yes, I mean stress.

Stress kills very fast! Most innocent children have turned into orphans today due to the premature death of their mother due to stress. There's a little a man could do as regards taking care of domestic responsibilities and children. Oftentimes, it could be deliberate or otherwise.

Some men were not brought to assist in home chores. Once you have such a man as a husband, you need to start teaching your children (both boys and girls) how to assist you with home chores. With that, you are relieving yourself of stress, at the same time teaching them to be responsible. Don't do everything for them, especially when they are under 10. Immediately after they return from school, instead of leaving them idle, ask them to deplete their lunch bags and put their shoes in the right place. While you are busy washing their school uniform, make sure they are washing their lunch flask and water bottles by themselves with your properly monitoring and supervision. Once they are through with that, instruct the eldest to assist the younger ones with a school assignment. You will only be left with the eldest to assist with the assignment. Today's Nursery School teachers are extremely lazy. They will treat a page during school hours, then give the kids five pages as an assignment. That is a topic for another day.

Mandating it for them to do house chores is not a punishment. You're training them for the future, especially the females. Some children, after the demise of their mother, suffer terribly because they are not accustomed to how to perform domestic responsibilities, and those they are subsequently living with can not tolerate it. The sufferings their mother did not want them to suffer during her lifetime; they are suffering 'times 100' of it after their mother's demise. Once a child is over-pampered by his or her parents during their lifetime, it's always complicated for anyone to accommodate them after their parent's death. 

Dear mothers, don't die prematurely! No one can take care of your children better than you, no matter how wealthy and sagacious such a person is. Familiarize your children with domestic responsibilities. They will not grow up to be delinquent and irresponsible fellows in society. Help your home, help your health, help your society. Dear children, assist your mother at home. If she dies ill-fatedly due to overburden, the consequences will fall on you. Being motherless is always a great disaster, especially at a tender age.

Dear husband, learn to assist your wife at home, especially when she is at the childbearing stage. No one asks you to do it often. It's just once in a while. Your wife is not your slave. Her parents spent an exorbitant amount of money to send her to school, the same way your own parent sent you. She needs respect in the marriage too.
