"My wife cooks, and I don't help." In his now-viral video, 32-year-old
Minton said, "I don't help her clean, do laundry, take care of the kids—
none of that."
You might wonder, why?
"Because I carry out my responsibilities as a husband and father," Minton
said. "I clean, cook, and do laundry." I look after the children. I am
responsible for those tasks as well, therefore I can't just 'assist' my wife
with them.
You're not alone if Minton briefly captured your attention.
One individual remarked, "**Deletes paragraph," alluding to the irate reply
they intended to make on his page.
added one more, "I was prepared for combat."
Of course, ladies who wished their boyfriends thought the same way as
Minton did showered him with appreciation as well.
"Had to tell my husband to stop saying, '... for your mother,' to the
kids," a tired mother wrote. Do the dishes for me, please? Nope. They belong
to all of them.
Another woman mentioned that she is unable to even get her partner to flush
the loo.
Minton and his spouse, Brittany, divide all household duties and have four
small children, aged one to seven.
As Minton tells TODAY.com, "pretty much everything about my parenting style
is in spite of what I saw when I was growing up." He is adamant on doing
things differently.
Minton remembers being accosted by a fellow customer for completing what he
refers to as "the bare minimum" during a recent trip to Target.
"This woman approaches Brittany and says, 'Oh my God,' as I was pushing two
children in the cart and wearing the infant. Is this man your spouse?
Examine him. "You ought to snap a photo of him," Minton remarks. I receive a
lot of praise for accomplishing nothing. The bar is how low?
Brittany's pals are often telling her how fortunate she is to be married to
Minton when she goes out with them.
Brittany tells TODAY.com, "They say all kinds of things, like 'Girl, you
must be in good with the big guy because he sent you an amazing
husband.'"
With almost 6 million views on his TikTok video, Minton hopes that more
guys will find it.
"We are not supporting our spouses, nor are we watching our children. That
mindset needs to shift," he asserts. "It's time to mature."
