I have been a housewife for the past 6 months. I'm just a newcomer to the world of housewives. But as a newcomer, I sometimes think to myself, "What is a housewife?" When I was single, I used to say, " I just want to get married and be a housewife" without thinking too much. Then my mom would reply back, " Housewife has alot to do for everyone and they're not even appreciated. Being a housewife is just boring!". I really didn't understand exactly what she meant then. But now that I'm married, I know exactly what she meant. I'm sure there are housewives like me, who are constantly thinking about "how to finish the house chores in a fast and easy ways". I think that's o.k. as long as you get your house chores done. After all the thinking, I came up with an answer to my question, "But all housewives are great!". Why? Atleast that's what I think! I'm not saying this because I'm a housewife,myself. Compared to working men, housewives do not get rated fair enough! But housewives support her loving husband and children like a sunshine, sometimes she lights up the family and sometimes she is like a shadow in the air. To those who have a loving wives and mothers, I think it's really nice to sometimes just say, "Thanks!" It's said that feelings can show without words. I think it's a lie! You must say it in words, or the feelings will not be understood. I think housewives are simple minded people. They will be so happy that when you get up the next morning, maybe something will be a bit different. For the housewives, her family is her power!, I think. Since I'm a simple minded person, When hiroro says,"Thanks!",although I'm very upset, it just makes me get going again because I want us to work out right. Maybe this is why I'm still a newcomer to the world of housewives,huh?!
