“We learnt to share domestic responsibilities: She likes to cook but she doesn't like to do dishes; so when I come home to cooked food and a sink full of dishes, I get busy and sort it out; after all, I live there too!

I bath, feed and do my son's homework with him and put him to bed before she gets home from work sometimes. It's our home and our son, so we share what's got to be done.

Sometimes when I'm tired or she's tired, we just take it easy and the dishes stay in the sink till morning. Domestic life is not an examination. We try to simplify life and we have our peace.”
