In many countries, since prehistoric times, household
tasks have been belongings of woman, specifically to mothers. However it is now
quite common that children share these tasks which I think is a right thing. In
my opinion, it is mandatory to help household tasks regarding changed styles of
modern family and for children themselves.
First of all, it is now an era of equality. Before 19
century, it was quite uncommon for women to fully engage in work. Thus, it was
generally accepted that woman, specially mother, belongs to household tasks.
But unlike old days, women are now equally socially active as men. Mothers no
longer stick to the house all days to be available for house works. Thus, All of
the family member should share household tasks.
Secondly, families are getting smaller in these days.
‘nuclear family’, it is a new term that is invented around 2000. It was used to
describe families that consist of 3 or 4. But recently, it is used to describe
people who live independently or just together. This changes in family number
signify that people in nowadays live apart from their family more often and
earlier than any days before. So it is quite obvious that children should do
household tasks in order to live on their own.
As social perceptions on woman and forms or families
changes from the past. It is of course that systems in family changes. In other
words. Mothers are not only ones who are obligated to household tasks but other
family members such as children should be take part of them for their family
and for themselves. |
