Photo of boy, 6, doing house chores has important message

Nikkole Paulun posted a photo of her six-year-old son cleaning, cooking, and sweeping. She wrote: “I teach my son to cook & do household chores. Why? Because household work isn't just for women. Because one day he might be a single man, living on his own, who will actually know how to do laundry & not eat take out every night. Because one day he might want to impress a significant other with a meal cooked by his own hands. Because one day when he has kids & a spouse, he's going to need to do his fair share around the home.”

I do the same with my son and he's 3 it's not making kids be our slaves it's teaching our children to be a respectful person and when they grow up they will no what to do for there self's,” another mom wrote alongside a photo of her son doing dishes.

While another mom wrote: “My son is 2 in 2months and he is helping make his fav muffins he's still a bit to young to teach and let him do on his own but he loves cooking and he follows me around when I sweep the floors with his little vacuum and he's learning to put rubbish in the bin and cleaning toys up.... Love what u do teaching your son that and I can't wait to teach my little boy life skills when he is a bit older. And he also try's to help daddy fix daddy's car when dad is.”
