My wife was ill yesterday!

It is good to hear that you are getting to fell how great we women can be. Haha. I think we can manage because that is our responsibility and it is embedded in us to face these duties. But there are some mothers who can't or chose not to do things well. It must be harder for her because you have twins, but if the body is healthy and if a mother is loving her job as a mother and a wife then whatever she does for the family will be relatively easy for her and won't be such a burden too. I can also handle things well. I do everything in the house, that even at this point that I am pregnant I still get to do things alone because I am not blessed with a partner who believes in the division of domestic labor. He just stay in front of the computer and all the paperwork, since he is a consulting engineer. But although I can sometimes understand I would just hope he would get to help sometimes especially with my condition, because it would really would make me happy. At least in such a way he can understand and realize why there are times that I have to cry because I can't take it anymore.

Hi sjvg Oh wow I sympathize with your wife. I too was so sick all last week. I had the same a bad cough, congestion and fever the entire week. There were two days I had to stay in bed. I do remember when my children were little and being sick and staying in bed was not an option. Thankfully you were so helpful in helping her. Ah ha! Now you know all her efforts and hard work with the kids so maybe though she may not be sick you can chip in a bit more some days. This will help her be more energetic each day.

For me yes it is hard to deal with so you grateful if you find a wife who not said of what she done through that day and no salary to be taken from the boss so it is good you think of your plan for this day keep up the good work.

Hi! I guess it's sickness time. My family also got sick and my cousins and aunts.. Hope she gets well and really well!Wow.. all this time I thought you're a woman! Anyways, yes, mothers do a lot of heavy jobs.. and I heard one say that if mothers/women were paid for their jobs at home, they would earn a lot.. as in lots of money! This is why men should value their hardworking wives more.. and show them love and respect... Be happy and may she be well!

Hi! OUCH! Hope she is feeling better and good show in looking after the kids for her! Hehehehe--it does take some planning to look after two little ones! What did you do that day with them? Do they like going to the park (indoor or outdoor), library, or just connect with a few friends? I often find myself planning a couple of events each day (weather permitting) and that allows me to do more if schedules allow or if it doesn't, hey I got something done! Thanks for saying what you did about management skills. :-)

I like kids and don't mind house work and cooking. I am about to be a mom in few months. However, I still want to spend time trying to earn money and stuff. Also if a woman can do it why not you to :). Sounds like you got the easy end of the deal in the marrage. Lucky. Hope you helped her out while shes sick. :) Goodluck.

You are a very sweet husband because you can take a day off to take care of your wife and manage the housework for a whole family. I hope your wife will get well soon. Now you can understand actually it is not easy to be a housewife. You know that you just do it for a day. I rather say that I prefer to go to work:) I love China

hi sjvg aha now for ahwile I was going he is a she then I remembered no you have a wife. you know so many husbands do not really recognize all we women do while running a home and caring for our children. I had my husband saying the same thing when I had to have surgery and was in the hospital a week. he finally got my mom to baby sit so he could carry on his gardening route and of co urse she loved it as she was always asking me to let her baby sit for me. she was the right choice too as she knew our kids so well and she was competent while the neighbor kids just were not. My husband was wonderful though at helping me with housework and the kids. he loved to read to our little daughter. My two were not twins but they were only 11 months apart so quite a handful even if they were well behaved kids. lol lol My hubby hated only one thing the dishes,those he refused to do as he had done so many in his life before meeting me. lol.

Now you know how hard it is to look after kids while doing the meal (preparing and cooking) It's not easy to look after kids while washing clothes,eventhu there is washing machine. It's not easy to look after kids while cleaning the house and making things in order before the husband arrives and also to manage to have a quick shower so when the husband arrives the wife still looks fresh and dashing without any shadow or stress and tiredness :) Now you know it...

Hi sjvg1976, Thank you for understanding and taking care of her. Men understand women only if she is gone for some voccation to her mothers house or when she is ill, because men go to office( stressed up) and come home watch television, So they don't know what's the lady is handling. I don't blame anyone, It's the situation, that's all. If both are working I can't say because both will be tired. I feel both should share work, no relative interferrance on judging his/her work. Then every relation will be strong enough and happy lifetime. I pray to God for her recovery.

First of all I wish and pray for your wife to get well soon after that when I said Mother should stay at home main reason behind was, "How selfish we are who demand to do job when she is already overload with home work". So now you realize how hard job she is already doing? instead of helping her we think she can help us financially too by ding job. I admit I have no courage and power to work at home and take care of kids even I am unmarried but I wish whenever I will marry I will try my level best to give her every kind of support which she will need at home instead of asking her to go to job so you can help family financially.

i am not married yet but i can say housewives are super moms I remember once our parents had gone for a vacation and left me and my siblings with the house. i swear that was the most difficult period of my life. we had to cook for ourselves, three times a day, clean the house, do the laundry, take out the garbage, water the plants and so on It was so tiring and we kept forgetting to do somethings everyday. when my parents returned, my mom almost cried seeing the state of the house!! i seriously don't know how mom does it all by herself. she's great, she's my hero and i love her

Hello friend! sorry about your wife hope she feel better soon,yeah the rule of a housewife is not easy, even if I am unmarried but I observe my sister how she manage and take care take of her two children, husband and a 90yr old mother in-laws.So my sister invite me to stay with them to help her look after her very old mother in-laws that have hearing problem, while her still at work.

I can not manage like that
