Homemakers, what do you normally do while your other half is at work? Do you go shopping a lot? Do you take the kids out to play? Do you hang out with friends? Do you just stay home and do nothing?

wow seems like many are good housewives who start on household chores immediately when their hubbies are at work. man, i really feel lazy compared to everyone as for me, i usually go to the computer immediately..

haha well you're just like my husband. i don't know why i don't feel that way. it's like i'm fine even with work being accumulated. i just like doing it at my own pace and i don't feel awkward or think of what others would think if they saw my place in a mess. well not often anyway, i am not that bad hehehe

Yea, I'm definitely one of them, I hate to have accumulated housework. I feel like I cannot do anything unless I finish the housework first.

When I get back home from taking the kids to school I immediately clean up the house, put a load of clothes on and then sit down at the computer and make my way through my online money adventures. Before you know it , it's time to pick up the kids, come home and start dinner. However, once a week I drive into town, and visit with my parents, and help them clean house. Boy..that does not sound too exciting hehe ( and I wonder why I don't put on my make up anymore )

The moment my other half leave the front door for work, I'll start my household chores so by the the time he comes back in the evening, he come back to a spotlessly clean home. Any time left is my time with the computer.

Well here lately we have both been at home because of the weather, but today he finally got to go in. My husband usually works every Saturday but me no so I just keep myself busy by cleaning, cooking, and maybe going out somewhere to the retail stores even if it is just to look around because here lately due to being stuck inside and no work money is slim to none!! But once the weather gets cleared up and I really hope it does soon!! I can not stand this very cold weather I hate it!! I also like to go to Garage Sales that passes the time a lot!! Take care and have a good day!!

I go out at least once a week to do grocery, other than that, I pretty much stay home, do housework and surfing on the internet.

I take our oldest daughter to school, then come home and check emails and do various things on the computer. When my youngest daughter and husband get up it is time to make breakfast. From there it is usually getting things done around the house, getting the girls outside to run off some energy. Take care of the horse, and then try to get everyone to bed by 9:30 at the very latest.

at first i would just want you to know that i'm still single but if ever someday my husband would go to work i would probably, clean the house do the chores take care of the kids then after that i would definitely try to take a rest and relax so that when my husband go home im done with the chores and will have enough time to take care of him like massage or something to help him relax with a full day at work....

When my husband isn't home, sometimes, I do stay home with my daughter, but there are still times when I just want to go out. I usually just go to the shopping mall and walk around. I don't really go to shop per se, but more to walk around and have something to do. It depends on how I feel and what I feel like doing.

While my husband is out of the house and at work I tend to the boring household chores as soon as possible then I get to work in an attempt to earn some money via my writing, MyLot etc. I am working towards starting my own business so when that happens I guess I will be attending to that. I am very busy while my daughter and husband are at school and work and that is fine by me!

When my husband is at work what i tend to do is see friends as well as make any phone calls that i have to.I try to keep myself amused as there are not many things that i can manage, as most of my day is sitting down, due to health problems.
