Daughter asks her dad why he cleaned the house

There's nothing quite like being the recipient of a candid conversation with your toddler...

Living in a home where everyone has assigned responsibilities is a common practice. More parents are teaching their kids from a young age that tasks like cooking, cleaning, and overall housekeeping aren’t tied to gender.
A school in Spain has taken this concept to the next level by incorporating practical life skills into its everyday curriculum. Students are taught essential skills like cooking, sewing, and cleaning – skills that benefit everyone.
A recent social media video reminded us that kids can be more insightful than we give them credit for. Sometimes, their understanding of marriage dynamics holds more truth than we realise.
In the video, a father walks out of a room, and his daughter, holding the camera, begins asking him where he's headed and what motivated him to clean the house.
Dad, who seems like a stand-up guy, laughs when his daughter jokingly suggests that he did the vacuuming to impress her mother so he could head out for a night with his friends.
The candid conversation between them was truly heartwarming. We especially loved how the father openly acknowledged and respected his wife’s needs, setting a great example for their daughter in the process.
