Week 6-Response to Shawn

I’m glad to hear that you are aware that cleaning up after yourself is your job even though that it’s a hard habit to get out of when we get used to someone else doing things for us. Once we fall into our gender roles and we get comfortable there it’s easy to stay in. Even though the dishes is your wife’s chore, and maybe she’s ok with that, it would probably bother you if she was always in the tool shed taking things to garden with and always leaving them on the ground, or outside to rust. Even though the ‘man’ jobs are yours, she should still clean up after herself. The same concept applies to everyone, except for those of us who don’t bother with such technicalities. I myself am used to leaving my clothes on the floor till I can’t see the color of my carpet. We all have a long way to go, but the first step is to acknowledge it. :-)
