Feminists everywhere met a bold new ally today as father of three
Gary Leek (45) agreed to do more around the house on the condition
his wife Debra leek (41) remembers to ask him.
After recent statistics have shown Australian father’s do as little
as 32% of household duties, Gary Leek has decided to step up and
has offered to help the love of his life around the house whenever
she needs him to pitch in.
“It’s only fair,” he stated while drying the dishes with an aloe
vera tissue.
Before offering to do more around the house whenever asked, the
only domestic duties Gary had in the bank was a shelf he once put
up and a time in 2009 when he took the rubbish out without being
asked so Debra didn’t notice that he’d thrown out his serving of
vegetarian lasagne.
Wanting to step up his game, Gary made the bold offer to the woman
he shares his life with to help out whenever she needs it, so long
as it’s not during the footy or after a really rough day at work,
despite the fact they both have full-time jobs.
Gary’s transition into a domestic God has not been easy with Debra
citing one time he filled the dishwasher with laundry powder and
his habit of placing the Vegemite in the fridge even though they
have always been a Vegemite in the pantry family.
“He means well,” stated a slightly anxious Debra
Leek.
“If he didn’t piss everywhere then the bathroom would be easier to
clean. Guess I have to ask him to stop doing that
too.”
Rocky starts aside, Gary claims the whole experience has been eye
opening and from now he will be 100% there for his wife on the
condition that she give him clear instructions or otherwise do it
herself.
“Did you know you need to clean the shower? Showers! They are
already wet, they should be the cleanest thing in the house but you
still have to clean them! The things you learn when you ask
hey?”
