DOMESTIC CHORES AS A DAD-single parent I don't know about you but I dislike having to keep my house clean with extreme prejudice. It's like working out it's all painful until you're done and can reap the benefits. It's not that I want to pretend I'm in this regard, hardly, but there is something that makes raising a child in a clean home that much better.
I feel proud knowing that my son's feet are treading on a clean floor or that his room smells good. I get great satisfaction when he climbs into clean sheets and pillow cases. It makes me feel so civilized and at the same time I know that's it's healthier for him and that at the end of the day when he's all grown up he won't make a frat house out of his home. Of course by then he'll also remember my mantra - that for women it's all about the nest, in this case, the nest being his home. |
