HOUSEWIFE

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!
