In many countries, more and more women have full-time jobs as men, so there is logic that men and women should share the household tasks equally. To what extent to you agree or disagree?

In recent days, there is a rising trend for

view. On the one hand, it is no doubt that

males and females should contribute to a family,

economically and physically. Before the industrial revolution, males used to secure full-time jobs, undertaking the responsibility to support their families financially.

took in-house chores independently and covered every duty at home.

However

Therefore

On the other hand

, it is irrational and difficult to determine equality in household tasks because people have different specialities and preferences. What is considered tough and time-consuming by a husband, may be seen as a piece of cake by a wife. In my opinion, couples should share household responsibilities, and the allocation of detailed

work

should be based on personal strengths and habits.

For example

should be granted the task, and his wife can choose other tasks with which she feels comfortable. When it comes to some undecided tasks that nobody wants, it is crucial for a couple to have a talk and understand what the other party thinks before reaching/agreeing to a final decision. In essence, I believe that

both

and make their contribution to the family, but absolute fairness is not necessary to keep the game running. After all, a couple is consisted of two partners, working jointly to live a life of happiness and self-fulfilment.
