The upcoming Easter holidays are an important religious event for some, and for others an opportunity to meet with family at a lavishly laid table. Although in many modern families where women are professionally active, some of the household chores fall on the men, often, however, Christmas preparations rest to a greater extent on the shoulders of women. Not everyone likes it, some say enough. This is what Mrs Beata did (name to the editorial office) who wrote to us to share her thoughts and talk about a decision she recently made about Christmas.
She was left with a pile of dirty dishes
Mrs. Beata already has adult children, a son and a daughter who have already started their families. Our reader also had three grandchildren. So far, the whole family met at her home for Easter and Christmas. Mrs. Beata prepared everything herself.
I used to stay in the kitchen all day and clean the house. I wanted everything to shine and the food to taste good. Afterwards, the family would wrap themselves up and I would be exhausted with a pile of dirty dishes and an unforgiving mess in the house.
– writes Miss Beata. She also added that the worst thing for her was the fact that no one had ever offered help in the preparations, and when she asked for it, it turned out that everyone was running out of time.
Nobody even thanked me. Everyone acted like they deserved it, like cooking for almost 10 people was something I love more than life
– laments our reader. After the last Christmas, she decided that she would spend the next Christmas without children.
Finally she said enough
Mrs. Beata informed her family that this year she is not organizing an Easter breakfast on Sunday, nor any other meal during the upcoming holidays.
I love children, but we spend Christmas separately. It’s better this way – for me, for sure. Maybe my family will finally reconsider and appreciate my efforts. Maybe one of them eventually
– she writes and explains that her husband is also happy, because he is getting older and tired of the noise and confusion that prevail during the holidays. They will spend the upcoming Easter together.
