This is how deeply some of us have normalized patriarchy in our homes. Women are raised to serve, while men are raised to expect it. Even when everyone has worked all day, the women are still expected to handle everything while the men relax. And the saddest part? We’re passing the same mentality down to our children and calling it tradition. Why is a man’s rest considered normal, but a woman has to finish cooking, cleaning and attending to everyone before she’s allowed to sit down? Cooking, cleaning and taking care of a home are basic life skills, not women’s responsibilities. We really need to stop raising boys who think marriage means having a woman to serve them.
