不幸福的主妇都有这三大抱怨

1) "He Never Helps Around the House"

1)"家里的事他从不帮忙"
In 2013, men spent almost 10 hours per week on chores, while women spent 18. Although that's an improvement from the '60s when men devoted four hours to women's 30-plus, the discrepancy is still annoying-and exhausting. The best way to ensure your husband pulls his weight is to be specific about what you want-kid cleanup, dinner prep-and let him do it his way. "If you stand over him, telling him how to do everything, he'll back off because it'll seem like it's easier to just let you handle it," says Charles J. Orlando, a relationship expert. And remember, chores don't need to be divided down the middle to be equal. If he excels at dinner prep but isn't so great at getting the kids ready in the a.m., it may be easier if you take on that project solo with the understanding that he'll have food on the table after work.
2013年,男性每周会做10个小时的家务活儿,而女性每周则做18个小时。虽然这相比六十年代已有所改善,当时男性每周只做4小时的家务活儿,而女性花在家务活儿上的时间则超过30小时,但这种不平等真的很令人恼火--而且还会让人筋疲力尽。确保丈夫出一份力的最好方法就是具体说清楚你想要他做什么--让孩子们干干净净、准备晚餐--并让他以自己的方式做好这些事。"如果你站在他旁边,告诉他每件事都该怎么做,他会甩手不干的,因为让你来做这些事好像会更容易,"情感专家查尔斯·J·奥兰多说道。切记:对分家务活儿不一定意味着平等。如果他擅长准备晚饭,但在早晨收拾孩子去上学方面有所欠缺,那么由你担起这份"重任"并想着下班后就能吃上热腾腾的食物岂不是更好。
2) "He Doesn't Know Anything About the Kids"
2)"他对孩子一无所知"
While studies have found that men interact with their children for at least three hours a day, lots of wives gripe that their guys simply don't know the day-to day details of what's going on in their kids' lives. That's their way-men communicate to exchange information, while women use it to bond, says Orlando. Because of that, favorite movies, toys, or friends' names can sometimes be subconsciously dismissed as irrelevant information. After all, hearing an adorable explanation from his 2-year-old as to why Dora is her favorite won't be something he'll forget anytime soon.
虽然研究已发现男性每天与孩子的互动时间在三小时以上,但很多主妇还是抱怨她们的老公对自己孩子的日常生活细节一无所知。这就是他们的方式--男性交流是为了交换信息,而女性则是通过交流增强感情,奥兰多说道。正因如此,孩子们最爱的电影、玩具和朋友的名字可能会被潜意识地过滤为不相关信息。毕竟,听两岁的女儿萌萌地解释Dora是她最爱的电影人物并不是他很快就会忘掉的事情。

3) "He's Always Playing Video Games"

3)"他总是玩电子游戏"
Whether it's video games, fantasy football, or just social media, tech can absolutely get in the middle of a marriage. In fact, studies have found that video games in particular can cause problems-but only if they affect everyday routines. Have a conversation about screen time and establish some guidelines-maybe it's no phones until after the kids are in bed, or promising to put all tech away a half hour before your own bedtime routine. That way, you both have time to give into your guilty tech pleasures in a way that doesn't harm your marriage.
不管是电子游戏、梦幻足球还是社交媒体,科技真的会影响婚姻。事实上,研究已发现电子游戏尤其会造成问题--但只有在影响日常生活的情况下才会造成问题。好好聊一聊应该在电视、手机上花多少时间,并制定一些原则--这些原则可以是只有当孩子们上床睡觉后才可以玩手机、也可以是保证在你们睡觉的半小时前将一切电子产品放在一边。这样既能享受科技带给你们的内疚快乐感,又不会对婚姻造成影响。
