We don't value housewives

Thank you for that. I have worked all of my life with a job or my own business but my efforts at doing that AND running the home, are never really met with appreciation. My husband grew up in a home with a lazy mother that was literally a pigsty that was falling apart. I not only clean, but I do repairs on the home, decorate, and pay for most of the things for repairs and decorating out of my salary. I have to say that my husband cooks and does the food shopping, and helps with some projects at home, plus, along with me, helps babysit my granddaughter, but somehow he never really gets it that what I do is worthy. But he thinks all that he does is worthy.

My mom is a housewife and now we are growing up. She is the backbone of our family. My dad is a sole supporter of her every role. Me and my wife also follow her each and every instruction. But, many men do not respect women who work outside the home. They think that gogernment unfairly promotes affermative action for women in the work place. So, it is very difficult for a women to gain resapect who tries her best. Simply ignorence and ego problem may be the reason. I have seen it near to my door.

Congratulations, ah, such a good wife married, i hope you cherish him.

Being a girl i know what you are saying is right and home management is tough than all other manangement, irespect all house wives and really wan to be one but question is are they very secure being housewives doing nothing, some time it also happenes that in a trouble some situation they are not able of doing outside work and suffeer a lot i think we should respect all housewife bu we should also make them self sufficiant

I was married in the year 1992. I living happily with my wife and i blessed with one male child and he is studding in 11th class. My wife is government employee. She will do all every thing in our house. She prepare the food and tiffen, then she leaves to her job. We can not thing life with out wife. She was dutiful wife towards the child and me. She will under take every thing good or bad for welfare of the our family. She will wakeup in the early morning and go to bed late in the night. I am very lucky man in the world, because i got very good and beautiful wife in my life.

I am a stay at home mom/house wife and believe that it is one of the hardest jobs. I cook, clean, wash dishes, clean bathrooms, do the groceries, etc...and ofcourse, all of this for no pay. I am also taking care of my two young kids (under 3) and drive my two older kids to and from school. My husband is at work most of the day - I am glad that when he comes home, he takes over and gives me time to myself. I think housewives are not as valued as they should be.

Yes, perhaps it is becaused of such "masculinity" the world was lead by male, husband is the head of family ! Some religions Christian also told than wife must obey her husband while husband must love his wife, according to Islam as far as I know husband is the family leader, even some sect refused woman sit as their poltical leader. It is nice hear your opinion which gave high valae to woman or wifes who is not merely take over all our home jobs but still they usually "unpleasantly has to serve her husband at night" hehehehe... but even my wife have her bigger role at my family because she is working and her salary is bigger than mine, hehehe (smile again), left home early in the morning and back home at evening and of course she has still to complete her most important job description at our room hihihihi and if we have baby she will undergo working 24 hours a day ! Viva housewifes !!

wishing you the best in your relationship!

I work a lot in my house doing everything you just said. Doing dishes,laundry,cleaning floors and bathrooms. I also work outside planting my garden and flowers to make the yard look nice. I even cut my own grass so my husband don't have to do that when he gets off of work. And I make sure dinner is on the tabel when he gets home.

he work your wife is doing is just like me , i usually put my family in the first place , i can don't go out with my friends and stay at home to look after the kids , give up my job, my friends , i can give up anythings for my family

That is very sweet! Im sure your wife will be glad to know that you value her so much! I agree that the job of taking care of the house is a difficult one and should be more appreciated! I think many people dont realize just how hard it is until they try it for themself. I think anyone who stays at home to take care of everything for the household will tell you that it is a difficult job. But it is completely worth it to know that your family is happy!

I am glad that you wrote this article. It is nice to know that there are some men out there who appreciate their wives. I'm not saying that mine doesn't because I know that he does. But there are some men and even women out there who think that if you stay home and take care of your house and children that you are not really working at all. A housewife or homemaker (whatever we are called nowadays) has so many jobs and not one is paid for. I am the cook, the maid, the nanny, the nurse, the doctor, the hairdresser, the teacher, the secretary, and so much more. I cannot even think of all the titles I hold, but not a single penny is given for any of these jobs unless it is done outside of your own home. I do not think that it is fair. Being a wife and mother is the hardest job anyone could ever have and I think that we deserve to be paid for it and not looked down on by people who go out to work.

I'm married and my wife is a housewife. she is a great person, she never complaint to me. Sometimes i want to give her a gift, a very expensive gift. But i don't earn enough money to buy such gift. so i only can gave her one kiss and simple a word, "Thanks". I do that everyday. And everyday she smile at me. believe it.

Thank you Thank you Thank you!It is so refreshing to hear this from a mans point of view. I am a stay at home mom with a 3 and 4 year old. Not only do I do all of the house work, shopping, cleaning, I mow and do most outside work and wash the vehicles. My husband loves that I can stay at home and it makes me feel good when he says he doesn't know how I do it. He never gave me greif about quitting my job when I gave birth, so in turn, I do more than I should to show my appreciation for that. We have a really good system in our house that he can do all of his hunting trips and what not, as long as I get to do my hobby. It works for us!

This is a nice tribute to women that "work" at home. I wish that there were more men that think like you. I'm serious, most men think that because a woman stays home that she has nothing to do. That she has plenty of time on her hands. That what she does is not worth anything, so forth and so on. I sure hope that many men read this and rethink how they feel about their lady that stays home!

I think that is awesome that you would say such wonderful and appreciative things about your wife! I stay at home and take care of the house and kids as well. My husband always tells how mu ch he appreciates all that I do for him and our family. I also tell him how much I appreciate him working so hard for all of us...it is definitely give and take. When someone tells you nice things like that it really makes a big difference.

husbands should be proud of their wife, household hold chores is not easy to do there's no end and being a parent too is tough. we value them not only for the husbands but also for the children....

Hi bhanusb, Your wife is a very lucky women to have a thougtful hubby like you... To me, Housewife is a tough 24 hours job, No pay, No day off,most often unappreciated by her family members and yet resignation is impossible!!

I can't help to feel my tears in my eyes. You're wife must know how much you value her and her hard work for the family. I'm a wife too and though I am the one working for the family, I also do the things your wife did inside our home that is why I really understand how hard for us wives and mother fulfill our duties to our husband and children. Though it is hard, we still feel satisfied at the end of the day if we our family happy.

I agree completely with this point.I also consider house-wives do a great deal of work.A good house-wife remains busy whole day.She has unlimited works to do in limited time.She doesn't earn money but she can manage all types of money matters so efficientely as compare to anyone else.I am a working women & to maintain my effiency at my work place, some times i leave my works at home, uncomplete or to do those works later on.But a house-wife does her work properly completely & efficiently,without any complaint.She asks nothing in her favour to perform her works at home.She is the best management planner of any family.
