How to be a good housewife?

I remember when I was a child, everyday I dreamed about adult life. I mean, about a job, to have personal money, not to depend on your parents and so on. I think that all of us had the same wishes.

What irony: now, when I have all these things, I want to be that little girl, without any worries and habitual problems.

Very often, my friends and I played games. The most favorite game was the game when you acted the part of housewives. We met our “virtual” husbands, gave them food, had some discussions and then, as it’s normal, we had children.

Have you had such games? I think that every girl have played this game while boys were playing with their little cars and were fighting with so called “not real rivals”.

Now, the things are just a little different. Most often, the husband works all day in order to support financially the family and the wife takes non-financial responsibilities.

Housewives see to the house, prepare food and take care of children (if they are).

Apparently, this life looks like a boring one, but in fact, everybody has lots of works and there isn’t time for thinking about this.

In order to be a good housewife, I will write some rules. Look here:

- Discuss with your husband about the expectations. Ask him: “What are your expectations from me as a housewife?” and vice versa tell him what you expect from him, as a husband. Don’t be afraid to discuss about responsibilities of both of you.

- Take a break. Majority of housewives think that if their status is “housewife” they should look after the house, children, cook and clean twenty four hours a day. However, if they follow such program, after some time they will get tired. It means that they will not be able to manage the house and the whole nine yards. If you feel the same, it’s time to “recharge the batteries”. Take a pause: visit a spa, do exercises, visit a fitness, go out with your best friends, talk with them about your feelings, listen their advice … Permit him to make some house works: take care of children, preparing some foods and only in this case he will respect you, because he will see how hard could be this work, maybe harder than his office work. I mean physically work.

- Be ready to listen to your husband. Generally, the working men could be divided in 2 parts: some of them, after a hard working day, prefer to sit in front of TV or read a newspaper before talking with you about his daily work, others – start to talk just after the house’s door opens. In both cases you should listen to them and support them.

- Prepare food at home. One of the most appreciate thing when we arrive home is the food which can be prepared in a delicious way. Don’t buy fast-food, buy meal and vegetables from the bazaar and prepare a delicious food at home. Your husband will appreciate that.

- Take care of yourself. I know how compressed timetable housewives have. But, you should find time to take care of yourself, because a delicious food with an ugly waitress – isn’t pleasant for anybody. Amaze him with fashionable clothes and stylish make-up. Flirt with him as much as you can. Play some games, for example when you serve him. In fact, the man likes that.
