Woman made her husband sign a chore certificate before they had a baby #GirlTalkZA #BBMzansi

Motherhood is a challenging journey, and for many women, the added responsibilities of household chores can make the balancing act even more daunting. However, one innovative mum-of-three named Clara has been hailed for her proactive approach to ensuring her husband's involvement in sharing the load.

Clara recently shared her brilliant idea on TikTok (@claraloveslife), where she revealed how she crafted a 'chore contract' for her husband of 23 years before the arrival of their baby. In a clip that has since gone viral, Clara explained her rationale behind the contract, citing the common challenges faced by women in marriages once children enter the picture.

"I had been around enough women to understand the problems that they're facing in their marriages when the children trickle into the equation," Clara shared. "I wanted to make sure my husband understood his role and responsibilities before our baby arrived."

By outlining specific chores and expectations in the contract, Clara aimed to establish a clear understanding between herself and her husband. She emphasized the importance of communication and setting mutual expectations to ensure a harmonious division of labor in their household.

"We don't know what we're doing, fathers don't know what they're doing," Clara noted. "But we can work together to navigate this new chapter in our lives."
