I Thought Housework Was Easy — My Son Taught Me a Lesson I’ll Never Forget
I always thought housework was easy—just something women exaggerated. But when my wife left me alone for one day, I quickly learned how wrong I was. Exhausted after work, I ignored my wife’s request to set the table. My son Danny, eager to help, stepped in, but I dismissed him. The next day, Lucy left for a work conference, and I struggled to manage everything. I failed at making breakfast, doing laundry, and cooking. By noon, the house was a mess, and my son had to take charge, showing me how to do tasks I had avoided. It hit me hard: Lucy wasn’t just complaining; she needed help. The next day, I finally helped in the kitchen, working together with my family.
