Tragedy in the Household

When tragedy strikes a household everything changes. Whether the tragedy is large or small, the household survives better when everyone bonds together. A household tragedy is one that can not help but affect an entire family no matter how hard you want to hide the truth from the kids. A household tragedy might involve financial matters, death, illness, or a catastrophic change. No matter what the nature of the household tragedy parents often respond with either too much emotion or they respond with none at all. Leading the household through a crisis is not easy but you can do it well by keeping a few thoughts in mind.How you handle the tragedy in the household will help or hinder those around you who are also affected. Sometimes, when a parent is able to show immeasurable strength during a household tragedy, never shedding a tear or expressing an emotion, the rest of the household believes that they must follow suit. When your children feel a need to stifle their tears and their fears, it usually rears its head a little later. When your partner doesn’t understand your pain he or she can do nothing to help you work through it. Household tragedies are often complex and require the best a parent can give. In almost every case there is no perfection that a parent can offer during a household tragedy, just a little love, a lot of strength, and some courage. These factors can go a long way toward healing a household in tragedy.

Household

Long gone by are the days where household chores can be divided up based solely on gender. Dividing up the household chores based on gender means that the feminine half of the relationship ends up carrying much more responsibility than ever before and that is likely to lead to household burnout. Household burnout happens when a woman faces a daily life of work, kids, and the entire cleaning and cooking responsibilities that a household requires.

Men need to start stepping up when their wives start working outside of the home. Caring for children all day is a full time job in itself. Keeping up with household responsibilities can also become a dramatically time taxing event. When it comes right down to it, gender means nothing when you realize that the dust balls are taking over and those tumbleweeds of dog hair are starting to clog up the drain in the tub from sticking to the bottom of your feet. Household responsibilities have moved beyond the 50’s and 60’s when gender roles were more obvious. As the world starts expecting more of women, the definitions by which men have lived also changed.

There is nothing unmanly about engaging in household responsibilities. In fact, men who are able to go from their work day into the home and learn that a vacuum cleaner isn’t designed only for a woman’s hand, he grows as a human being and is often well rewarded for his efforts. Men often shirk household responsibilities because they have the notion that the household is cared for by women. The household runs much more smoothly when everyone takes care to do their part and pitch in. After all, this is your home and not a competition.

Household problems

The larger house you have the more problems you face. This is natural phenomenon. People, who live in flats have less household problems than those, who live in big private houses. It is very easy to live in a flat, because you have minimum household responsibilities. Unlike living in flats, private houses need constant care. The most vulnerable are always roofs. They are exposed to all negative impact of bad weather. Then come basements. They suffer from impoundment and moisture. There are many other problems, I think they are familiar to those who live in private houses and there is no need to enumerate them. Blocks of flats can face similar problems but the main difference is that in private houses you have to solve these problems yourself and blocks of flats thee problems are solved by special services. Only very rich people can afford living in private house without any serious problems. First of all their houses are solid and don’t require frequent preventive repairs. Besides, they can hire any specialist in this sphere and not to think about their problems. As for me I like to live in a flat. The matter is that I have never lived in a private house and have never had a lot. I don’t like big houses. I think that they are inconvenient. I prefer a small flat, where I won’t spend much time for cleaning rooms and play as host.

Home sweet home

I like sitting at home very much. Yes, I am a real stay-at-home. I am always reluctant to go to a café, disco club, for a walk and so on. It is very comfortable and convenient to stay at home. I wonder why so many people don’t understand it. At home everything is at hand. You can do what you want and have a good time. For example, you can watch TV, read a book, cook something and so on. When my friends offer me to go to a café with them I mostly refuse. I can understand this pleasure of sitting among other unacquainted people and drink beer or something else of this kind. Besides, nobody likes to be out of doors when the weather is bad. The weather is changeable and can spoil in a minute. You may think that there will be a nice sunny day when you leave your home and later it turns out that it rains and you haven’t taken an umbrella with you and walk back home wet through. Again, this is an additional argument to stay at home and avoid going out. The weather at home is always nice and your plans won’t be thwarted. Besides, I don’t understand people, who like to go to the cinema. Of course, it is good when you see a movie on a large screen and the sound is perfect and so on and so forth, but as for me, watching a movie at home is also much more advantageous. At home I can cook the food I like and enjoy it. When you are in a restaurant, you have to manage with food you are offered. Nobody will ever be able to persuade me that there is a place better than my home.

Household

I am really sick and tired from domestic chores. This work is so boring and monotonous, that I can’t stand it. I am looking for like-minded persons. On the one hand we live in the epoch of scientific and technical progress, but on the other hand, our life is still not so easy as we want and we still have to do a lot of monotonous tasks which take much time and are very irritable. Besides, all these home appliances also need care and delicate handling, which in turn brings additional problems. There are sometimes so many various precautions and warnings, that you begin to think that this or that appliance not only fails to facilitate your everyday life, but prevents you from normal living and even aggravates the situation. You have to keep a lot of instructions in your head in order not to spoil your appliances. Besides, they break down very often and to make the things still worse, they break down in the most inappropriate moments: when you are in hurry, when you are waiting for important guests and so on and so forth. It is very bad that you can’t rely on these achievements of mankind. Despite the progress, our life is still full of stress and it seems that there is more stress in our life today in comparison with past times. Our ancestors had a lot of work to do, but they were healthier and more relaxed. A paradox? Not by any means. This is a natural law. The farther we are from nature with all our modern conveniences and home appliances, the worse is the way we feel and the worse is our life in general. In general, life is stupid and senseless.
