What's going on in households' minds?
Is being an household wife that bad? I'll tell you the secret. Don't tell anybody! Not to men, not even to any women. They think I'm a victim of this discriminated world. Let them think that way, that's better for me to stay with this job.
All I have to do is wake up a little bit earlier than my husband. He thinks I'm a good wife if I do that. Then cook breakfast for my family. That's not a big deal. I just spend twenty minutes. Then after that, I send off my two kids and my husband. Now I'm all free for a day! First thing I do is go back to sleep for two more hours. Then I spend all day talking with my friends on the street or on the phone. Basically we complain each other's husband. Sometimes, I go to hobby store and spend a lot of money which my husband earned with his sweat and blood. The best thing is to go to the mall. I spend couple hundred dollars sometimes. There is a secret. I don't show my husband what I bought. If he finds out, he'll yell at me. This is like being in a heaven. No one's at home to disturb me.
Around five o'clock, I start to go back my duty. I'm getting good at cooking, and I don't spend more than an hour. And make some love with my husband. That's my job to make my life.
Being a household wife isn't that bad. I don't have any stress, like my husband does. Average women live eight years longer than men. It shows me how stressful working for a company. People say I don't have any social contact, but the truce is, I do. Sometimes I find hard to keep contact with other households in my neighbor. Some of them are so rude or ridiculous. Sometimes they even fight each other. It is really difficult being an households.
Now do you understand how our lives are? It is good if you know what you are doing. Look at women working outside our world. They look so tired, and I feel so sorry for them. Good luck and make our country better!
