Housework Times Two
What's so different in my life now that my wife is pregnant?
Not too much actually. I still wake up at the same hour, eat same breakfast and go through the same morning ritual. And then later I still sit in front of my office computer and go through my tasks list, such as "Finish project slides XYZ" or "Proofread article on ABC" and proceed with my works as usual. Well, except that now my tasks list consists of more understandable words, such as "do laundry" or "buy more eggs".
As my wife is still in the early stage of her pregnancy, I don't want her to become tired. So I take care of the house chores by myself. They are quite hard for me, having to do my work as well as all the housework. But I bet they are even harder for my wife, having to only watch me do the work without her helping me. She used to be in charge of the housework and she is only standing on the side and watching me, and letting me leave many dust and dirt because I insist that the house is already clean.
So now, we need to readjust the schedule for doing the house work. I only do sweeping once in two days instead of everyday. Dish washing, only in the afternoon. Laundry, hmm, maybe once a week. Toilet cleaning, ... only nine months from now. Ironing shirts,... well, we must give up something once in a while.
I think my wife is going to have her mood swing early.
