@jenn_rillo: The phrase “helping Mom” has always felt a little off to me. Because when my boys clean a bathroom, pick up a mess, do laundry, or take care of something around the house… they aren’t doing me a favor. They live here too. 🤍 I’m not saying every job has to be split perfectly or that everyone in a home has to carry the exact same responsibilities. Families are teams, and every person on the team may have a different role. But contributing to the home you live in? That’s not a “Mom job.” I want my boys to grow up understanding that taking care of a home is simply part of life. I want them to notice what needs to be done. To take pride in their space. To understand that cleanliness, responsibility, and contribution aren’t tied to being a man or a woman. I’m not raising boys who need to be applauded for “helping” the women in their lives. I’m raising men who understand they’re part of the team. And around here, the whole team contributes. #tiktokcreatorsearchinsights #raisingmysontobeaman #raisingmen
