Ever noticed in a social gathering when asked a women “so what do you do for a living?” either she or someone with her replies- “oh! She doesn’t have a job, she’s a housewife!!”. A sentence intentionally or unintentionally defining the title of a housewife as worthless. But in reality is that really the case?
I beg to differ. A housewife plays one the most diversified roles anyone can ever play. A housewife in a homemaker taking care of a house and it’s elements within, a mother caring for her baby making sure to provide all the right education to her child as family is the most primary form of education for a child, a daughter-in-law always there for her in-laws in every need, a wife taking care of her husband. some days she’s an accountant – maintaining all the expenses and crunching numbers to run the home better, other times she’s a chef- cooking fabulous meals for her and her family, even sometimes she’s a mechanic fixing technical problems around the house but most prominently she’s the piece that holds the family together. She’s always there for everyone. Taking on hundreds of jobs as her day rolls. Let’s dive deep into the story of a housewife with this blog.
A typical day in the life of a housewife, she woke up early in the morning before anyone else is up. She doesn’t even take time to herself and goes straight into the kitchen to be on chef duty making breakfast and packing lunch. When everyone gets up she feeds them not thinking that she hasn’t eaten since morning. Then comes the mother duty making kids ready then taking kids to school, becoming a teacher when they come from school and helping them with their project and homework. They go about their day dealing with any difficulties that might come their way. Every working person has a job from 9-5 but a housewives day ends when her family is fed and relaxing then she can take rest. From the very morning to night she has her day packed with duties.
Let’s talk about the sacrifices that they make on a regular basis that are mostly unrecognized by the society. They sacrifice their time to take care of the family to raise a child to build a home. She doesn’t think for her career or hobbies. Her life revolves around her loved ones.yet she’s called “ just a housewife”. It is very saddening to think how less appreciated these women are compared to working women, when they don’t put any less effort.today if we ask a young women what they wanna be when they get older, not 1% of them replies they want to be a housewife taking care of their home. It’s so aching that the young generation has this idea that a housewife is not a successful destination. Where as if we look around most of our mothers were housewives. And they took care of us. We might thing that what do did was so normal but thats not true , we should be proud of them and appreciate their efforts of making our life easier and more beautiful.
