Attending or doing all the chores in a home is not an easy thing, always, but always, there is something to do, some tasks for me are tolerable and even pleasant, but there are others in which I simply feel that I need help and especially that of a man, the reason, they have more strength for some things.

I can not say that my husband does not collaborate, I would be a liar and also unfair, he helps me a lot with tasks like preparing meals and washing all the dishes that are used in the kitchen, he is what we could say a little picky with that subject, which I appreciate because cooking is not my passion.

Now, what chores do I prefer him to do and how have I accomplished that? I prefer Fulvio to be in charge of cleaning the kitchen, one of the reasons is that one of the cleaning products used, degreaser, hurts the skin on my hands, I know I can use rubber gloves, but that's the other issue, the model of stove we have has like a tinder box, as it has an electric lighter, which is long and pointed, this has broken me, I don't know how many rubber gloves, which means I have spent a lot of money replacing them when I can no longer repair them, which is always my first choice.

On the other hand, although it tends to stay clean sometimes when there has been a lack of water in the area 15 days or more, the kitchen seems to get me dirtier than ever, it's like all the grease and filth sticks, so a man can scrub harder in the places where the dirt is stuck the most.

Likewise, our current kitchen doesn't have a grease extractor, which helps keep grease from ending up on the walls and cabinets, so when we go to clean it has to be done as a team or it will never end, so I apply the degreaser and he then goes through doing the hardest scrubbing and removing.

So, we also do many other chores, usually I am in charge of selecting and putting the clothes in the washing machine and he hangs them up and when it's time to get out of bed, he folds the sheets without thinking and makes the bed as best he can if the cats let him.

How do I achieve all this? Well, as simple as he is a collaborator and secondly in the tasks I felt and feel that I can not alone, I talked and explained the reasons why I wanted him to be involved, among them I have a job to attend, secondly I spend time creating content and thirdly as I mentioned before taking care of a house takes time and I also need to rest.

In short, I believe that speaking with sincerity and explaining the reasons why help is required is the best way to get it, of course it may happen that from time to time they pretend dementia or as often happens with my husband something falls on the floor and passes away, so ends my participation in the Weekend-Engagement #167
