1537244190165-1699466094.jpg Housewife duty number one... Clean up the mess made by your children!

If only the word 'cleaning' means= stuff it all into the toy boxes!

It would be my heaven!

Unfortunately there's a lot to do beside just 'pick it up and put it inside the box'.

Theres the sorting, repairs, replace, reassembles, disassembles, not to mention throw away the broken irrepairable toys...

If I started then this would took hours of my time! Still had to do laundry, cook, feed the baby, change dirty diapers, put the baby for his nap and clean the rest of the house...

Think being a housewife easy and husband could simply says "what are you doing at home all day?"

Try saying that words if you wanted the female dragon out.

      I agree with @Katsono...

      *sighs*

      Well not just the Philippines though...
      We have who-knows-how-many families out there that doesn't have any at all so I guess I'd say you're really lucky...
      Not all families are harmonious... Or even complete...

      But I salute those who give their very might to (at least) provide the needs of their families...

      @emmy thanks for the concerns. It was just a train of thought, me and my husband would be considered the rare pair. He cooks, he does laundry, he bath both our kids, he puts them to sleep, he's perfect to the point i'm afraid to share about him cause he's just rare.. LoL...

      I write it in a perspective of a friend of mine. She had three consecutive c-sections and how she can't have more somehow give a toll to her marriage.

      She shares about her difficulties being a stay at home mom and unlike me, she didn't have any other income source. Making the burden fall 100% on the husband.

      Worse is, the husband never helped with their child and housekeeping... Probably because he was already too tired when he's back from work.


      But


      Truth is, I found out that most of my friends had the same situation be it working wife or not. that is the husband rarely helps around the hoise.

      I can't go around to them and flaunt my lucky life when they goes around complaning ... Can I... That would be too evil for me to do.

      Then again, I think the problem lies with both of the spouses. Sometimes a clear words of "please help" is needed rather than 'hoping' for the man to come help by themselves. But most of the wifes (my friends) had these weird tendency to portrays a 'perfect wife' scenario which in the end drain them too much physically and emotionally... I could never understand why asking for husbands help is considered bad...

      So my rant might seemed like me complaining and stressing out like a depressed cooped up lady but its actually not like that.

      Take it as a way of me trying to let others know what it means to be a housewife, Someone might find my rant useful.. Or provoking.. Or just annoying.. Lol...

      How hard it is to be a parent...
      That I don't know... Not now... But I could somehow understand...

      I grew up in a province... And my life was simple...
      Only the typical... Picking on my younger siblings, lying to the parents when I did something wrong, hiding food under the bed, secretly taking some money from the piggy bank...

      Then I graduated elementary and moved out of the house to go to the city to continue school...
      Only then did I realize how immature my behavior back then...
      Then, did I see how much I owe my parents...
      My siblings and I were pretty close then... But now, puberty has somehow closed some of our bonds...

      I've been living for almost five years away from my family, occasionally going back during vacations and breaks...
      But I was just too ashamed to apologise and thank them, my parents... For bringing me up well and for me being immature...

      When I got to the city, I noticed a lot of bullying and backstabbing... Things I have never experienced back home or even at my previous school... So imagine how hard the adjustments I made...

      My friend and her single mom are having cold war, to the point that my friend has to move out of the house and seek financial help from her dad...
      This is a major blow to me...
      Thankfully my parents weren't like that... And that they were also brought up by my grandparents to be human...

      @Tramsloof...
      I could agree... Marriage, that I don't know... *sighs* But I've known how society and this 'new world' affects families...

      I've got the children to tend
      The clothes to mend
      The floor to mop
      The food to shop
      Then the chicken to fry
      The baby to dry
      I got company to feed
      The garden to weed
      I've got shirts to press
      The tots to dress
      The can to be cut
      I gotta clean up this hut
      Then see about the sick
      And the cotton to pick.

      Shine on me, sunshine
      Rain on me, rain
      Fall softly, dewdrops
      And cool my brow again.

      Storm, blow me from here
      With your fiercest wind
      Let me float across the sky
      'Til I can rest again.

      Fall gently, snowflakes
      Cover me with white
      Cold icy kisses and
      Let me rest tonight.

      Sun, rain, curving sky
      Mountain, oceans, leaf and stone
      Star shine, moon glow
      You're all that I can call my own.

      Maya Angelou, "Woman Work".

      On a side note, calm down @Emmyy , I am sure @Suieta was just describing a thought and not the words spoken by her husband. Know that, money doesn't grow on trees and doing a monotonous job and working for the family can be stressing at times. Just as now Sieta is a bit frustrated, so even if the husband did say those words, you should move on to reconcile rather than burrowing a hole in it and making it larger than it is. I am not by any means undermining all the work a woman does, especially her care in the household is priceless. But even as it is, Sieta must be earning hardly enough for it to serve as her pocket money, which from her words I take, she doesn't contribute to household expenses. And remember, Sieta was too prideful to ask for money from her husband, it's not like he's the evil one denying it.

      So we should take a step back and realise and both parties work hard. Each would like to think that they contribute more and are less unappreciated for their work. The problem starts here. The solution for it is, to treat the person as you like yourself to be treated. Acknowledge their efforts and thank them for their hard work. They will be obligated to do the same. But someone has to start this, and we just keep waiting for the other party to start while harbouring deep resentment that grows deeper over time.

      Ah well, marriage is complicated. And modern parenting and values have only made it harder to work.
