Why Can’t Dad Cook? Questioning Gender Norms in My Family

After she passed, Mom had to take full responsibility for us. She keeps doing her best job every day. How she handles work and home is beyond me. One thing always used to bug me: if both of my parents are working, why is it that my mom has to take care of the home from cleaning the dishes to getting groceries? Why can’t Dad help? Why is it that every time Mom comes home after a long day at work, she still has to cook food for the three of us? If Dad had a long day, he would wait for dinner to be served. This thought annoyed me for years. The reasons for this answer personally are twofold. Firstly, Dad doesn’t know shit about cooking; seriously, he made tea one time for me, and I threw up for a week. Also when he tries to help like getting groceries, he buys so much like he was feeding a whole village or something. He is a great parent, but in the kitchen department, meh. <a href="https://medium.com/@pranaynair/why-cant-dad-cook-questioning-gender-norms-in-my-family-2c0df0b2240b">Website</a>
