Today’s article is dedicated to a housewife who works hard for her family with no appreciation and zero complaints. Being a housewife is not easy, their journey is full of choices and difficulties, as well as obstacles, which can affect the mental, emotional and physical health of housewives.
The essence of a housewife’s life:
Being a housewife is a , “full-time job” that should be valued and appreciated. A housewife does many types of work, such as- “cooking, cleaning, taking care of children and the elderly. In short, taking care of the family.”
The difference between the work of others and the work of a housewife is that – “she works without any salary, leave or vacation.” A housewife keeps working till the end of her life without retiring.
Have you ever notice while talking to your mother, wife, sister or any woman she hardly talks about her struggles and difficulties??
Mostly their focus is on how to find a solution to your problem and reduce your stress. She only wants to see her family happy, it doesn’t matter to her whether she is happy in her life or not.
What types of struggles does a housewife face?
Humiliation:
- In most cases she is made to feel that, “since she stays at home and does household chores, she has no knowledge or experience of anything else.” Due to lack of knowledge and experience she is not allowed to express his views or is not involved in decision making.
- The one who provides food, i.e., the earner is given more importance because that person earns money and fulfills the needs of everyone.
Criticism:
- Despite doing all this, the only response she gets is, “Housework does not require any hard work. Even being a housewife does not require much effort. It is the easiest job.
- She is able to manage his expenses sitting at home without putting in any effort.
“It is often seen that criticizing the work of others or ignoring someone’s hard work is mostly done by a person who is not getting satisfaction from his work or who is unsuccessful in his life.”
Inferiority complex:
- Due to criticism and ignorance, she starts comparing herself with the working women around her. She begins to feel that all the other women are making progress but she is a failure in her life.
- This thinking makes them suffer from inferiority complex, which affects their mental health and as a result they become depressed.
How to bring a sweet smile on the her face?
- The best way to bring a smile to her face is to show gratitude to her, simply by saying. “Thank you.”
- I am grateful to the women who do this work selflessly and without complaint, and I apologize to them if I have not done so before.
- They want and deserve appreciation, not for any recognition or validation, but because they need appreciation to feel good about themselves.
Is it right to respect someone on the basis of who earns and who does not?
In my opinion, it is not a matter of respect, but a matter of personal benefit. “A person should be respected, but not because he is fulfilling someone’s needs, but because he is a good human being.”
“Here by earner I mean every person who earns and fulfills the needs of others.”
Don’t underestimate yourself, be proud that you are a housewife:
Don’t underestimate yourself, be proud that you are a housewife. It is very important to understand one thing. No matter how people around you perceive your work, even if they think, “You just spend your time sitting all day doing nothing.” You should always have respect for your work.
In this era, social media has a great influence on people. Often women upload cooking videos and now they have started earning money from it which is amazing.
Learn something from those women and try to add something new to your life too.
Gen Z’s perception of household chores:
- Gen Z’s boys feel that housework is not their cup of tea, while Gen Z’s girls, on the other hand, often feel uncomfortable revealing that they do housework. Today’s era is moving towards modernity. They think that not doing household work makes them modern. They would rather be immature girls than accept the fact that they can do housework.
- Wearing fashionable clothes, being a, “so-called,” feminist and speaking english does not make you modern. Your education and your thoughts make you modern.
- If you are a, “feminist,” that’s good. But first you have to learn to respect the work of women and not consider them less than anyone else.
