I'm a house wife Compry, and in my case I take care of all work in the house and everything my husband needs to be able to do his job. Children grown ILP [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Housewife

Well heck I'm a housewife/SAHM too...with a part time job at nights [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]

But as Roots says, you do everything in the house ...laundry, groceries, bills, child, pets, cleaning...not a glamorous job but it's gotta be done.

Interesting, I never thought of it as a 'job', more like the role in the family. But I guess if someone asked her 'what do you do', then the answer would be, I work at home. (Aside: I do consider the duties involved to be important 'work', but just like Donnika, I would say that woman is not in the job market)...

Re: Housewife

well as long as you feel appreciated. Kudos!

Well you said you do part-time contracting but is there a longing to do something else(I wont say something more since home duties can be quite alot)?
