Household concerns

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

Last Saturday was one of the worst days. It didn’t went well as we discussed about issues here in the house most especially the house chores. Ace knew that I’ve been pissed about this for so long. I have my online job but I am not going out so it seems to him I have all the time to do the house chores here. I’ve been bringing out issues that he won’t dare to make decision to resolve it because this is not our own place. That’s the reason why I wanted to have our place, even just a little house we can rent for the meantime and his answer to that thought, “you can leave if you want”. Okay, will blog more so that I could earn more and I’d be able to rent a place for me and my sister.

Since this is not our place and we are only staying with his parents for free, we need to do the house chores. I don’t mind doing the house chores as long as everybody does their share. So I obliged Che2x to wash the dishes and do other things because we are staying here for free. I am guilty about this. If Mamang is only alive, she will not experience being awake late at night to wash the dishes, need to go home early because she will cook for dinner when I can’t because I am at work.

Now Ace discreetly said I should cook for him and is expecting not to see me in front of the PC when he gets home. I was then reminded by my friends saying “their husbands only get married to have a house help”. True as it is. Wifey role is like a house help but wives has to delegate some chores to other members of the household, not hers alone. That is what I wanted to happen here. When Ace arrives from work, he only eat and rest. No more, no less. Hence I have to take care of the laundry and others while Che2x has to wash dishes, feed the dogs and cat while we take turns in cleaning the house and cooking. I hope Ace will realize that I am serious about my concern. If not, I can live as if I’m the only one in here. Which means, I can be deaf-mute here.
