On a drizzly afternoon, I had just put down my heavy bag and stepped into the house. I shivered as the chill outside entered the hallway through the wet umbrella. With my umbrella set away, I took off my shoes and prepared to enter the living room. At this time, my husband Wang Chen's laughter came: "Wenwen, you see, after we have a child, how should the housework be divided?" I was stunned, I didn't expect him to suddenly bring up this topic.
Wang Chen continued with a smile: "Otherwise, let's AA system, right? Who does the housework, who makes money, shares it equally." "I was overwhelmed by the offer. Didn't we get married because we valued each other's independence and equality?
I replied with a straight face, "What do you say? We got married to work together, not to share responsibilities equally. Seeing my serious expression, he immediately put away his smile and explained, "It's just a joke, don't take it to heart." ”
I know he's not the kind of person who makes flippant jokes. I asked rhetorically, "Are you serious, what do you mean?" Wang Chen saw my serious expression, and also stopped teasing, and explained frankly: "I mean, we each take on the responsibility of family and work, and support each other, don't we?" I frowned, and asked, "Then do you want me to take care of the children at home in the future?" He shrugged his shoulders and said, "After all, you have more flexible working hours." ”
I know that as a programmer, he does have a tight schedule. But I'm deeply dissatisfied with the traditional concept of male dominance and female dominance. I bluntly pointed out, "You just started thinking that when you became a father, should I just give up my job and only take care of the housework?" and he explained with some embarrassment, "I just think it's more convenient, after all, my job is more fixed." I sneered, "Do you think I'll say yes?"
Wang Chen was silent for a while, and finally admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through." "I know he's a good guy, but he's still influenced by conventional wisdom. I put forward my bottom line and told him that if I wanted to implement the AA system, I had three conditions. He nodded slightly embarrassed, and said humbly that he would think it through.
The argument between us, though somewhat heated, was eventually resolved. Wang Chen understood my position, and I also understood his concerns. We sat down again and discussed how to share family responsibilities.
As night fell, we snuggled together, our hearts filled with anticipation for the future. We know that only by understanding, respecting and supporting each other can we go on happily.
