        With the concept of equality between men and women being accepted, doing housework is no longer women’s responsibilities. Instead, every member in the family should take part in housework. Based upon the two following reasons, I suggest that housework should be distributed equally to every family member.

To begin with, the equal distribution of house chores can avoid family members from conflict. For example, a mother may complain that she has to work during the daytime and do housework after work. Her husband and children, however, may take a complete rest after work and school, lying on the couch, watching television, and browsing the Internet. In the long run, this can lead to fierce quarrels. Thus, to create a supportive atmosphere at home, it is advisable that everyone in the family share housework equally. Moreover, children as well as parents can benefit from doing house chores. Children learn how to take on responsibilities while parents can take a break after a long and exhausting day at work.

        As for my family, household chores are well-distributed. My mother cooks and does the laundry. My father does the dishes and throws away the garbage. My sister and I take turns to sweep, mop the floor, and fold clothes. We clean our own rooms almost every weekend. Doing cleaning work gives me a sense of achievement. The dirty floor or a messy room, after my cleaning, becomes clean and tidy, which makes me feel good. Besides, there is a close bond between family members being built up because we all do our portion to keep the house clean. Doing housework makes us feel we are members of the family. From my point of view, housework should be distributed equally, which would be good for every member in the family.
