The system in Taiwan that wives can be paid for doing housework is not fascinating for me. It might be worth paying, but a housewife or househusband is not a maid. Also, I have to do my housework if I live by myself even it cannot be paid.
Talking about my parents, my mother is a housewife and my father works. So, my mother does all of the housework. They never complain about this and I think it's successful system for them. However, my father cannot cook, clean and doesn't know how to use the waching machine. Therefore he always eats unhealthy meals and snacks when my mother is out of the home. I'm worried about it. Aditionally, my father didn't cooperate much in childcare and I usually go swimming, camping or skiing with my friend's family. Although I'm now grown up and I understand he was very busy with his work, I was so sad and I felt envy of my friend's family when I was in elementary school. If I had children, I don't want them to have a similar experience like me.
How do I deal with the issues of houseworks? well, I do what I need to do. I want to be a good cook sometime, but I have almost no chace to cook since my mother always serves meals. However I'm sure I'll try to do anything when I have to. I don't want to eat or serve conveni-bento everyday and don't want to wear dirty clothes!!
I thought I have to learn how to cook from my mother because I don't want to eat conveni bento, too!
