A few months ago we published an entry in which, with a table of ages and tasks, we explained why you have to allow children to be autonomous at home and let them understand what the co-responsibility of what happens in a home is when Several members live.
Something like that is what it does Nikkole Paulun with his son, when he decided that it might be a good idea to teach him how to cook and do housework so he would understand that they are things that not only women should do.
With 6 years ago many things
The eldest son of this separated mother (has another little girl) her name is Lyle And he is 6 years old. With this age he is already able to put the washing machine, fill the dishwasher and cook on the fire things as simple as a toast or similar.
To show the skills of his son, his mother, who is relatively known because when he was 16 he appeared in the program '16 and Pregnant ', he decided to share photos of his skills on Facebook. As we read in Bored Panda, Nikkole's publication has generated almost 150 thousand reactions and has been shared more than 45 thousand times.
And many people have found it fatal
Among the many comments stand out (because they have many 'likes') some that are critical of this initiative. From a woman who tells her that children don't have to convert them in slaves, and that the things that are the responsibility of adults should not be done by a child, to a man who asks if when the girl grows up she will learn to pick up the yard, change a wheel or mow the lawn or tell her that this is the job of a man.
She was answering the questions calmly and patiently, and finally, to try to resolve the controversy, she decided to publish a photo of her relaxed son, lying on the sofa playing the console:
Personally, what he is doing with his son seems perfect to me, as long as you don't force it. If it leaves the child to take these responsibilities and do it at ease, it is great. The only "but" of the matter is the doubt of if it's a good idea to post something like that on Facebook. That it is not her fault, really, because it is the others who decide to issue the judgment, but the bad time you take it equally when you decide to explain something that you think is positive and people jump to the jugular accusing you of enslaving your son.
