SHOULD A COUPLE SHARE THE HOUSE CHORES IN THEIR HOME?

I remember those days when I was still in school, my single-and-ready to mingle days,I was gisting with some friends about the kind of men we would like to marry. Everyone of us had our long list of qualifications and degrees the guy should have before we considered him eligible enough for marriage.

So as we were talking, one of my friends said boldly that her "husband must share the house work with her o. I can't be the only one to have the kids, take care of them and their father, cook and clean the house, go to work come back and get ready for another round of more chores especially za oza room chores. Abeg o, he has to join me in sharing the house work."

If we were in the Western society, this wouldn't be an issue but we are in Africa where the matter is a different ball game altogether. Men would have nothing to do with the house chores because they are 'men' and the woman understands that it is her place to run the home as is expected of her with no complaints. 


This is the 21st century, a lot is changing concerning this matter.
Since, the bandwagon is moving forward, should men share in the house work or should the women continue handling it all by themselves?


 If I wake up one morning and see hubby like this in the kitchen, that food he is arranging must be tasty whether there's enough salt or no salt at all in the food.
