In reaction to a post made by a literary critic on Facebook, a media personality named, Ikhide Ikheloa states that mothers work thrice as hard as fathers but aren’t given nearly enough appreciation for it.
The critic, Marisa Bate wrote;
“describing women who clean and run a house, look after multiple children, and source and prepare food for a spouse as “not working” is surely one of the most successful conspiracies of the 20th century”
To which he replied;
“It took me a long time in life to realize that my mother worked thrice as hard as my dad, at home.”
Another media personality, Fidel Ebohon also reacted to the post, listing the various duties that women are expected to perform at home;
“Cleaner, cook, nanny, teacher, comforter, errand runner, hostess etc. The list is endless.
If men are billed by women for this multiple roles, we will go penniless.”
According to this if women billed men for every role they performed many men would go broke. If a household were to hire a person for each of these roles, that household would be termed rich, yet a woman is expected to perform all of these roles without question.
She is not acknowledged for it with many men believing that this important aspect of running a house cannot be considered work, and their stay-at-home mothers “do nothing” dismissing the hard work of mothers.
