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.

Interesting stories about cats

I have found a funny photo via Internet.

The cat is so cute, isn’t?

In fact, I like cats. I’ve always had a cat when I lived with my parents and now, when I have a family.

As you know, cats make us feel relaxed and they make themselves comfortable on that “territory” of our body which needs affection and love the most.

Perhaps they feel a negative energy and as they are our friends they want to help us. They can’t speak, so they try to attract our attention through other ways: they emit sounds, fawn upon our legs and do many other things that make us happy.

I’m sure that after such a behavior you will not be able to refuse them. I mean to pat their back or add extra ounces to their daily food.

By the way, do you know that after some time of living together, the animals look the same as their owners? It’s a very interesting fact and I support it.
I saw many relationships between owners and their pets … And do you know which thing amazed me?

They were alike, not only physically but also they had the same character.
My neighbor had a small cat with downy hair. Its eyes reflected only kindness. It was always waiting for guests at the entry of the house…

It was quite hospitable and curious to meet people. It looked like “saying” “welcome” or “have a good day” in its language.

Guess, was the owner like its adorable kitten? Indeed. This old tiny woman has goodness without limits. She always asks us “How do you do?” She’s always waiting for us to visit her and prepare delicious cake with tea for this purpose.

However, in spite of the fact that health care providers claim in unison that “cats are dirty” I love to take them into my hands.
I even kiss them. Don’t blame me!

They are like human beings that can’t speak. They have feelings and they are able to love or hate.

One fine day I was given the chance to see a truly furious cat. Oh yes! It was for the first and last time in my life.

Some years ago a friend of mine has visited me. She decided to toy with my little quadruped buddy fretting it very, very much by imitating it.

My lovely cat wasn’t in a good mood that sunny day. It got up in 2 paws and – fantastic!- a real Jackie Chan! It attacked my friend in the literal sense of the word.

I was shocked, too. Something cold “penetrated” my heart. I was frightened. It was my cat, but in a jiffy I understood that I don’t know it at all.

This story finished with a happy end, I mean that my cat calmed down after some minutes. But, I couldn’t relax even after several weeks.

My cat… O my God! It was able to hurt somebody!!? What should I do in such a case?
For that time, I made a decision. I sent my cat in the village, to my parents.

Generally, I think that cats need an open area, a kind of “al-fresco” in order to play, catch mice and feel themselves - animals.

Housewife – this is also a career!

I’ve met women who being asked “what is your job?” dropped their eyes down modestly and pronounced quietly “Housewife”.

I am not ashamed of my status, inversely; I’m satisfied with my position. Housewife position gives me big advantages in front of women who work outside their house. So, let’s talk openly about housewives.

Career in the family

I will start with the idea that honorable title “housewife” doesn’t fit everyone. I doubt that the women who dream about bright career will like to stay at home.

Though, the majority of women don’t understand that housewives could make also a successful career in their family.

Here, they could find acceptance, love and respect. Moreover, as opposite to business-lady, the housewife can control her time freely. I call all my colleagues to make useful this time.

Every housewife, as any other woman, has her dreams and desires. Generally, the woman forgets about herself because she is always worked up with worries and family needs. At this rate, in my opinion, it’s time to take out to the surface your own “I” and remember that it has also a right for existence.

The next step to the housewife’s career becomes the understanding of the thing that she holds a responsible post – householder. It’s disputable the question, of course, about “who is the owner of the house”.

Practically, namely housewife becomes the leader and directs the family’s life. I assure you that the housewife could make a successful career, “not leaving the house”.

By definition the family is a community where people live under one roof and keep the house together. Unfortunately, there isn’t love and respect in the family all the time, that’s why I make such a definition.

If the husband bears responsibility for the material condition of the family, the rest of things are in the hand of the housewife.

Can you believe this?

Hi again

I have just discussed with one of my friends via Internet.

She is on holiday.

She told me that she discovered an interesting tree.

She sent me the photo. I was surprised, because I have never seen such tree.

It reminds me one "thing" with which I play every night.

Wow, the tree has so many .....
