Q

Although we men should know better, we aren’t mind-readers, and most men need a push to help educate the children and maintain the home.

A

Skønt vi mænd burde vide bedre, er vi ikke tankelæsere, og de fleste mænd har brug for et skub til at hjælpe med at opdrage børnene og opretholde hjemmet.

Da I nu begge arbejder fuld tid, har I sikkert råd til en rengøringsdame.
