Housewife- Really!!! Wake up it's the 21st century plsssss


I wrote a post on Men having jobs and money to cater for the home. I got a couple of e-mails saying "How come it is only men you emphasized on?"....."Are you being a feminist?"... Am sorry if my post came across as been one-sided. Well, men have the larger role. Hence, the reason for the emphasis.

So here is for the ladies. I have heard lame excuses from a few ladies about not working....they say house-keeping is a full time job. So being an house wife has become a job....wow!!! Please don't sit on your lazy butt believing this thing called "Occupation = House wife".

I understand it is alot of work to care for the home but that is where multi-tasking comes in. There are loads of working mothers out there making money. Some people even have maids at home and yet still sit home and say "House-wife". Ladies, try your best to bring something to the table. If it is with whatever you earn you are able to pay for those little things such as phone bills, electricity bills, extra-curricular activities for your kids (Such as registration @ the children's club, swimming lessons etc). There are loads of things you can help the "head of the home" with, this little assistance you provide helps to foster a happy relationship in the home.

Some women say their husbands nag alot....who won't nag when you have a pile of bills to settle alone. When you help out....you would see how happy your husband would be and you would see the type of respect that he would give to you. So if you are still a house wife please go dig out your resume and start working on it or you could start your own little business as long as it is profitable.

We all don't know what tomorrow holds. We all pray for long life and good health....May the good Lord grant us all our heart desires but on the other hand prepare for whatever situation that may arise. If your husband is too rich to have you help him with any expenses, you still need to work.....just open up an account for your kids put the contribution there. Your children will praise and talk about you for their entire lives.

Some people say only rich people can send their kids to Ivy league universities.....that's a big lie. Life is all about planning. The minute you give birth to your child start planing for him/her. If you put a $200 savings every month for your child, by the time he/she is 18 years old that is $43,300 right there. If it was put in an investment bank where the amount yields interest, the amount you would receive back in 18 years shouldn't be less than $60,000. That is some school fees right there for your child without having to sweat it out when the time comes.

In my own dictionary Laziness=Housewife. Don't know what your dictionary says though....lol. If you have 4 children enrol them in school (School is between 8am-4pm). Get something worthwhile during this time and make some money for yourself. Have you wondered why your husband scolds or talks to you like a child? because you run to ask him for every financial help like a child. Am not saying you shouldn't ask your spouses for money but their is a point it gets to that you start to look like his oldest child.....lol.

Ladies sorry am a bit hard today. Just need to drive home some points. Enjoy your day people.

  3. Me am a house wife but am not lazy. I really want to work but my husband won't let me. I think it is because he is insecure. Hopefully i can look for someting i can do beacause it is very embarassing when i run to him for money to give to even my mum.

  4. different strokes for different folks i guess. it works perfectly well for some families to have the woman stay at home, but for some it might be a bad idea.

    i know some stay at home moms that are better off in every way than some working women, and i also know some stay at home moms that are not.

    i think there are so many things to consider before making the decision. but at the end of the day make sure it is the right one for you as a woman and also for the future of the family.
