However, according to the Daily Mail of August 18, it is the tiny area of the kitchen that is most likely to cause conflicts between couples. According to a survey of 1427 housewives, 32% of them hate their husbands making a mess of the kitchen while cooking, ranking first among all options; The second is to pile used utensils, pots, and pans in the sink, accounting for 30%; Next in line were not throwing garbage on time (19%) and not putting food in the refrigerator on time (16%). Suzanne Holler, brand director of the hot research company responsible for this survey, said that in fact, the kitchen is the heart of a family, and it is necessary to have a kitchen to feed oneself, as well as to entertain relatives and friends. Therefore, it is not surprising that the most disputes occur here.
In addition, after putting the children to bed, 70% of husbands choose to sit down and watch TV or DVD, but 77% of wives choose to clean the room, 51% choose to wash clothes, and 40% will prepare breakfast for tomorrow. "One side is enjoyment, and the other side is continuous labor, which has also become the source of many wives' complaints about their husbands.". According to the survey, women often have to complete at least 5 tasks after returning home from work every day, such as washing clothes, checking email, shopping, cleaning and ironing clothes, cooking, and so on; For men, there are only three "tasks" that need to be completed, including playing computer games, chatting with friends, and drinking alcohol.
In response, social behaviorist Jenny Hugh said that to maintain a harmonious family atmosphere, it is advisable to try the following five methods:
1. Let everyone participate in household chores to experience the hardships involved. The husband tries to organize and iron clothes in the kitchen, and the wife tries to repair small furniture and change light bulbs;
2. Use a variety of household cleaning and organizing tools, such as cute trash cans and bins, and vacuum cleaners with multiple suction ports that can remove dust from every corner, which can make boring household chores full of fun;
3. Establish a household duty table, and take turns to sit around during daily household chores, while those who do more housework can enjoy the initiative of the TV remote control;
4. Reasonable shopping, saving time and money, and avoiding disputes arising therefrom;
Spend more time with family on weekends to enhance understanding.
