Am I one?!! The answer to this question is what i dread the most! First off ,I hate the term house wife!(Sounds a lot like trophy wife!!). Ya, nobody uses that term any more, the sugar coated,”home maker” has replaced it. Does that make the desperation go away?!! In my opinion,(and I can say this safely as it is aso directed at me!), “home makers” have a lot of time to be desperate! Having been on both ends of the scale I have discovered that I was more productive and proactive when I was juggling work and home and family. I always seemed to fin time to clean, cook, chauffer the kids around. True, I would feel extremely tired at the end of the day but when I hit the bed I get the well earned sleep.
Now that I have been on a break for a while, believe it or not, i feel tired a the time. The max amount of work around the house is not for more than an hour and I seem to be busy all the time!!(doing what, even I don’t know!!). I tend to go into a cocoon that prevents me from looking to see what is outside it. Am I bordering on depression or is it the rude wake up call in my mind?!!
What I say here is probably true of most “house wives”. People say that it is a lot of work, being a home maker. That is probably true of a handful of them but I can boldly say that the majority of us just waste our time for the most part of the day. I don’t mean to say that the only other alternative os to go to work, find a job and all that. There are so many nice ways of spending the day in an enlightening and enjoyable manner. We could persue some long lost interest. ( I am probably thinking aloud here!) So ultimately I have come to the conclusion that I could do so many things while I was working because I had no choice and necessity became the mother of invention. So I think that I should pretend that if I didn’t do a certain thing at a certain time, there is no other time to complete the task and then see what I can do with all the free time I get…….. Maybe I can catch the show!!
