The problem is a lot of people seem to not be able to find a balance in their life. On the one hand, we have a stereotypical lazy housewife who spends her time watching soaps and complaining, on the other hand there is a hyperactive homemaker who never allows herself a minute of rest and is always overworked. It doesn't have to be so, imho. Home life should be a source of peace and joy (of course, it's not always possible with small children, family emergencies etc but we can at least strive for it).<br /><br />And I agree about being your own best friend:)!<br />Sannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124283361844607678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-9795711390293956392013-05-16T14:35:11.277-07:002013-05-16T14:35:11.277-07:00Amen! I can't tell you how many times people ...Amen! I can't tell you how many times people assume I'm lonely and/or bored because I'm a homemaker w/o children. Nothing could be further from the truth, I enjoy being home and I don't mind being alone....I'm good company, LOL! ;) <br /><br />And you are so right that ALL jobs have drudgery....At one time I worked in an office, and it ALL seemed like drudgery. At least at home I can decide what I do and when I do it. If the day is nice outside I can save the housework (most of it) for another day and enjoy the day. I am so BLESSED!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-9965486431462298532013-05-16T11:40:32.037-07:002013-05-16T11:40:32.037-07:00For some ladies it's unfortunately their relat...For some ladies it's unfortunately their relatives who give them hard time for not working outside home. It all happens because homemaking is simply not seen as a respectable profession any more. However, I think if the homemakers start taking pride in what they are doing it will change. Part of this strategy is supporting those who show homemakers in a positive light. For instance, while certain women's magazines still toe the 1970s party line, there are nowadays many new crafts and cooking magazines which indirectly promote domesticity so that we have a choice. And of course, there is internet which is a great way for all traditionally-minded ladies to unite!Sannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124283361844607678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-22687102305772302532013-05-16T11:13:21.775-07:002013-05-16T11:13:21.775-07:00Great post!

I don't want to judge, but they don't seem to enjoy cooking nor their children very much. I work very part time now but that is going to end soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
