My father and I have always been in different places, but I never feel that I am fighting alone.
1. Division of labor between life and education
Because I am a teacher, I am in charge of education, and he is in charge of life. My husband works in other places, so let grandparents and nannies do what they can't do.
When the children were young, our family had a clear division of labor: grandpa cooked and mopped the floor; Grandma accompanied the children and washed clothes during the day; Nanny takes care of children; Bathe the children after work and read books with them. Because of the clear division of labor, there are few contradictions in our family.
2. Dad buys books, and mom accompanies him.
Dad works in other places and can't accompany his children, but he always tries his best to do what he can. He occasionally buys a batch of books for his children. I am a concrete executor, reading with my children every day. In addition, dad will study with his children when he comes back on weekends.
Dad makes the decision, and mom carries it out.
The "big things" about children in our family are basically decided by the father. For example, children learn fencing and spend more than 10 thousand a year. After we took our children to the audition, I felt that we spent too much every year. However, when dad decided to study, I firmly supported him.
Sometimes I have to say that I am not as brave as my father in making decisions.
4. Physical work, Dad, and fine work, Mom.
Everything related to physical strength is usually done by the father accompanied by his children. On weekends, we will take our children to fly kites. At this time, I usually just lie in the tent and rest, and my father is crazy outside with his children.
Lifting heavy objects, mopping the floor, using new appliances and exercising are usually taught by my father. Usually do handwritten newspapers, weave handmade works, and direct speeches.
Mom and dad have their own characteristics, and a reasonable division of labor according to these characteristics is really an excellent way to reduce family conflicts.
I'm Chen Xiaohui, focusing on parenting knowledge and practice. I am looking forward to your telling me about your family division of labor.
