“If you are asked to choose between
doing the dishes and folding clothes, which one would you choose? “ – Ever tried
asking such questions to your husband? If no, then you are either a person who
has OCD or someone who doesn’t trust the husband or a self-obsessed person.
Well, go ahead and call me judgmental, I don’t quite mind that because a fact
remains a fact.
Imagine this situation – You and
your husband are home, exhausted from the day’s work. You decide to cook a
simple meal and head to the kitchen. The husband decides to relax in the couch
for a while (not a bad idea at all!) In a few minutes, he wails out “I need
some juice! I am hungry!” The wife walks
into the living room with a box of chips and a juice bottle.

There
is another instance of some wives having to deal with creepy crawlies. Here is
a sample conversation in a similar situation as above.
“Honey, I am hungry. Get the
cookie box for me, will you?”
“Here… I am making Kichadi for
dinner, I am exhausted” says the wife and walks back to the kitchen.
“Priya… Priya…. Quick quick,
bring that broom here. There is a lizard lying near the coffee table.”
“I am in the middle of cutting
veggies for dinner, come get the broom yourself”
“Come on, Priya, you know
these lizards make me nauseous. Bring that broom first”
“OK.” Says Priya and comes to
the living room with a knife and a broom.
A surprised husband asks “Hey!
Don’t kill the lizard in the middle of the house with that knife. I just want
you to get it out of my sight.”
“Hahaha! Very funny! This is
for you to continue the veggie cutting in the kitchen. Sharing is caring,
right?” she says as she grins.
“I hate to cut veggies and you
know that!” he cries.
Priya pulls out a sachet of
Ariel detergent and points to the laundry area.
“Now, that is my kind of
chore” he says and heads to the washing machine with a wide grin.
They
have a happy kichadi meal that night!
I
have to admit that there are some pretty lazy women who lie on the couch
demanding stuff too! But the point I am getting to is this - such simple instances
can work up your mind and create a stressful relationship. So, start asking for help when
you need it and offer to help whenever you can.
OK.
Now tell me, would you do the dishes? Or do some laundry and share the load? :)
