Do you think its easy to be a housewife?

it's never easy to be a housewife, it's 24/7 job. and the hardest part is how to overcome the loneliness of being left alone facing the four walls of the house the whole day until the husband and kids come home. i have my hats off to those who can be a fulltime housewife. bravo to you ladies!!!!!!

I been a house wife for almost two years and half and I can say that its really hard because its so boring your life.Specially if you don't have a kids yet!.

Yes, it is very easy to be a housewife. My husband looks after the financial angle and as a housewife I look after the household management. I help in his business whenever need is there. He helps me in my household jobs.

I don't think that it is easy to be a housewife. I know this from my mom, who does so much for the family. I appreciate my mom for taking all the troubles doing the household chores and taking good care of us kids. I am proud of my mother who contributes all her life at home taking good care of the family and contributing so much to the family.

I understand your feelings and perfectly support you. Many guys are like this.One pretty example is I'm working and earning handful of money as my husband, but then still he says that I didn't do this at home, do that at home. He expects me to do everything. They expect us to understand us and act accordingly but that kind of action is lacking from their end. Except few all are like this I believe

Well, if you're staying home and he's working, then your house should be spotless all the time. My husband never really fusses about the house if it's a little untidy because I work full time. But I'm sure if I stayed at home all day, he would expect it to be clean. What else would I have to do? It's not like KEEPING a house clean takes that long, unless you have children. But if you're a *housewife*, you have no children, so there should be no problem keeping everything spotless.

being a housewife is never easy. i know the type of efforts my wife has to put in day in and day out to manage the house.

to be a housewife is not easy at all especially when your husband doesn't know it. you have to do the tedious housework day after day. you will feel lonely when your children go to school and your husband goes to work. when they come back, you will be busier. it's hard for you to make friends with others because you almost stay at home all day.

I guess some people are so tactful that they believe they could say things which normally would hurt someone else's feelings. Also, it's easier to judge someone's actions when one is not in his or her situations. It's really hard to tell. I believe you should be very upfront with your husband. Tell him how you really feel, and prove to him that you are well observant. Have a heart-to-heart talk. I can sense that you're a Filipina, am I right?! Good luck and God bless. Take a lot of care especially you're in a different part of the world.

There are some guys who actually have an idea of what it takes to do the chores you described. I do like how some people do not understand how much the working world and the workplace expects out of men. Its usually to the point where men are working 10-25 hours longer in a week than women. Its a tough balance, its an unfair situation but it is there. Personally I work 40-50 hours a week depending on the situation. I'm also capable of cooking, washing, cleaning, preparing lunches, taking out garbage, recycling even though I'm a kind of workaholic. You should definitely communicate your difficulties to your spouse. If communication does not work, allow him to try and fix his lunch and dinner and to do the chores when they come up. Just give him a taste of it so he can see how it is.

At first I want to tell you how you feel.I also came just now to USA and I am new here.I came from Europe and everything is just different here.I am also housewife, becasue I cannot work.And I agree it is not easy be a housewife, not only that but also be at house all day alone, where you have nobody to talk to.I don't have any friends here yet and nothing really to do, only being on the PC.I know exactly how you feel.It is sad your husband doesn't understand how it is to be in new country and have no friends and being alone.But give him time, he would understand later.

Its really not easy to be a housewife.Being in the role of housewife is difficult part as she has to control her family,if she is a job holder,she has to look after the office work and at the same she has to take care of her family.Single person two works should be handed over by herself itself............

I think those kind of guys are selfish and disrespectfull. Beeing a housewife is more hard than working a day job. beeing left alone and having just your four walls as friend isn't easy. As I can see you have only 4 points now, so welcome to mylot. You'll find lots of supportive people for your hard times here. I'll add you as a friend.
