“It’s possible for two truths to co-exist. He’s parenting AND he’s being supportive of his partner. He’s making me meals so I don’t lift a finger if I don’t have to, putting my expressed milk away and doing way more for me than this video shows. It also goes both ways in a successful relationship. So yes, to parenting AND yes to being supportive 😊❤️.”

Make una softly softly joor.”

“Learn to do chores with your partner. If she is cleaning the kitchen, Be cleaning the living room. If she is cooking, Be washing d bathroom. Yess i know u are a provider, But that woman is ur baby girl. Help her out when you can. MASCULINITY is taking responsibility. A wife providing in her home is not her “helping” her husband, neither is a man doing domestic chores “helping” his wife. It’s just 2 people doing what they can to sustain a home and Union they cherish.”
