Wife Goes On Cleaning Strike After Her Husband Said That He Does The Cleaning

No one likes to do chores, but they have to be done. Some people like to pass on that responsibility to their partners, family members, and roommates.

And gender is not important here because both males and females do this. But things change when people get married.

All house chores somehow end up being the wife’s responsibility. Many husbands claim that they try to help, but that is the root of the problem.

When you say you are helping someone, you are suggesting that it’s their job, and you are just helping out occasionally. And it shouldn’t be like that.

House chores should be divided equally, especially if the wife is also working. It goes without saying that taking care of the kids is both parents’ responsibility.

Sadly, some husbands take it all for granted—homemade dinner, fresh socks, ironed shirts, and a sparkling clean house—they all become the wife’s responsibility and are constitutionally guaranteed when they get married. A TikToker named Jalie, @wifestrike, became so fed up with being the one cleaning up after her husband that she announced a “week-long strike on not cleaning any of his stuff because he swears to God he’s the one cleaning.”

She carefully documented each day of her strike, sharing her findings with her followers.

Jalie, a TikTok star, had had enough of her husband declaring he was the one doing the housekeeping, so she embarked on a week-long 'wife strike.'

So she made a series of humorous TikTok videos to document everything that transpired throughout that week.

That's awful

Jalie Gil, the 27-year-old TikToker from central Florida, has been sharing a home with her husband since 2015.

“It all started when my husband and I were having a conversation about household chores, and he jokingly said that he does all the cleaning, which I immediately protested and mentioned I should go on strike,” she told reporters.

Unfinished laundry still waiting...

Yeah, not really good...

Dishes in the kitchen...

HB cleaned a bit...

Jalie, @wifestrike “I made the TikTok account on a whim, and within five minutes of that conversation, @wifestrike was created. I instinctively knew I couldn’t post the wife strike on my personal or beauty page for fear of judgment and shame from our friends and family,” Jalie said.“I knew there had to be people out there with these husband and cohabiter woes,” she added. “I realized that I was not alone and that I was conditioned to silently clean up after my husband, who literally forgets he ever left a mess behind.”“Mainly, the reactions were to keep my strike going even after the initial week-long strike,” Jalie said jokingly. “That I shouldn’t be cleaning up after him because he should be responsible for himself. Also, there were a lot of mentions of divorce, even though that is the last thing on my mind.”
