What do you feel and do as a housewife?

Hi lotter same as you ,iam a house wife and my hubby goue to factory at 10 in the morning and come at 8.30 in th eevening ,i have two sons ,in the clases 5th and 1st ,they both have their good company to each other,so iam jst all alone whole of the day, just the same routined life as all the other housewives.

I'm currently a stay at home mommy, but I also am working on my graduate degree. I typically get up around 8 or 9am, depending upon when our 2 year old gets up. Our daughter still isn't sleeping through the night so there are early morning feedings still. When we get up I get dressed, and get everyone breakfast. I have a morning routine where I will check my emails and make responses, that includes people who have responded to me the night before on Mylot. I then begin my day with my children. This includes walks, playtime, reading, etc. I'm a fairly laid back person so it's not like I have a set schedule. We do martial arts daily so we have time for that with my husband who is our teacher. I do the big cleaning after the kids are asleep each night. My husband works the 3-11 shift, so we spend quite a bit of time as a family before he leaves. When he goes to work we all take an afternoon nap. When we get up we have a snack, and the children play as I get dinner made. Our daughter goes to bed around 6:30 and our son a bit later. Though, right now he's working on two things: toliet training and sleeping in his big boy bed so I personally am going with the more relaxed approach to this situation and vary my night accordingly. I still watch programs of interest to me throughout the week, do my graduate work, run errands, etc. My husband and I do almost everything together like that so I never have to worry about doing this on my own with kids in tow. It does make it nice. When I was in Arizona I used to hang with a very good friend and her children but her and her husband moved back to their home state when I moved up here to MN, so I'm still trying to find a close relationship like that. For now her and I write emails to each other a lot. I can't say I'm ever "bored" though. I have, for years, worked on living in the moment and that has really changed my life. Don't get me wrong, in my younger days I used to be like that. I just don't have it now in my life. I enjoy each day and each day is so different that I don't know what to expect lol. I think your writing about will help you to figure out why you feel the way you do. I recommend journaling offline because it gives you that private place to just reflect with your inner self. You may wish to see if you can find something outside of the home that interests you, perhaps a class or something that gets you out of the house and around people you can have a relationship with. Perhaps a pottery class or something like that at a local school. Namaste-Anora

being a house wife is not the simple thing and it is not easy for others to look over the kids,homemaking and timely changes in the home appliences working all the day and making the husband feel good out of every thing you do at home is not as easy as everyone think and in my point of view your doing the right job and if your family and you yourself are satisfied with what ever you do then you are full with your responsibility.All the best.

well i used to be that way, it gets routinary, doing it again and again and at times i feel unappreciated and bored out of my mind. lol but then i try todo things that wil lspice up..like cook stuff that i like..or make projects:)) but it changed as well when i started working, i already miss being a housewife!

I do not work outside of our home. But as a wife I try to keep the apartment nice and tidy. i make the time each day to talk to my husband about how his day was.I too sometimes have depression and you know that you want to do something but nothing seems to interest you.

You sound like me besides I don't have any kids and only have one dog. I usually do what you do, laundry, go online, prepare for dinner. I feel very boring always doing the same thing but don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I don't like what I'm doing but youknow, repeating doing the same thing everyday is really boring. I really wish I could have some friends to hang out with sometimes too like lunch and go grocery store together something like that. I understand very much how you feel.

I just be on the computer at myLot! I will play with my kids and teach them new things. I am also enrolled in Bible Correspondence school too. I like to listen to music. I just kill time by doing anything that I have been putting off lately. I get bored, trust me I do. But, I also manage when this happens. I clean and be at myLot most of the day while my son is in school to keep from being bored.

i will do my routine works . then playying with my childrenn then i will do something in the kitchen garden then i wlill listen rto music for some times and check mails every day then i will do mylotting and enjoy with all .
