I pity HER who is a full-time housewife who stays at HOME
all day, 7 days a week, and almost 360 days a year. I feel sympathy that she doesn’t
free herself from the cage of the house and go to enjoy the world she has
detained herself from. In her mindset, she predetermines that the world outside
the house is full of dangers and keep telling her family members who commute
along the road each and every day to be more careful and wait at the front door
anxiously and even nervously when they come home late.
She knows nothing besides housework, and it is the only thing
she can perfectly manage, so when dealing with matters out of her scope, she
has nothing to do but worries days and nights, keeps asking the progress of the
issues, and only after they are solved, she then felt relieved. In her mind,
she is suffering when she cannot hand her hand out.
Talking about businesses and politics, about education and
technology, she is out of the crowd. Her children are very in, while she is absolutely
out. They use words in connection with hi-tech which is so alien to her. She
wants to learn those words so as to communicate or at least to know what they
are talking about, but she blames herself for being so dump that she cannot
catch any.
She feels so lonely at home alone while her children and
partner are out to work. She has no one to talk to, but when they are back,
they find her talk a lot and start to feel bored of her. She just wants someone
to talk to or at least listen to her.
I feel sorry for this lady—a full-time housewife at all
times.
My dear housewives, I know you have contributed your whole
lives in managing the housework, but I love you more when you can enjoy your
lives as I know I can take care of myself. Please think of yourselves now!
Housewives! I know you want to see the outside world. Please
do feel free to step out! The world is not as evil as you assume. Perhaps
sometimes it is, but only with the BADS we have experienced that we will know
what the GOODS are and that we will know how to value them. Please! Do not too
anxious and worried to keep yourselves waiting for them to come back from work
or school. Believe me. They know how to take care of themselves and if there
are bad things actually happen, they are destined. Again, they learn from their
fault, so you don’t have to give too much care even though care is indeed
needed. Please! Do not devote all your time to a family although of course a
family is important, a personal time for you is also what your children wish that
you could have and enjoy yourselves. Please do upgrade yourselves. I believe
that it’s hard for an already-experienced full-time housewife to learn the
things blossomed in this modern world, but more or less you should try to know
what they are.
The best choice is that you should not be a full-time
housewife. Please do not accept the request or offer to stay home after getting
married. Perhaps you inevitably have to end your work, but please do not keep
yourself at home all day long. You should not end your social life—interactions
with friends and colleagues make life more enjoying and meaningful. You may
also keep learning new things and following the footsteps and pace of the
people around you so that you will be able to contribute ideas when things come
up.
BE a PROFESSIONAL HOUSELADY!
