well, i am working mom so i am able to attend to my family's needs after work but when i had my day-off, i start the day by preparing food for my husband and daughter. then, i have to bathe my daughter afterwards. we watch tv together. after lunch, i let my daughter go to sleep so i could wash the laundry. after that, when she wakes up, we will share a snack then i play with her. just a typical day with my family. even if i am too tired coz well, it is my off from work and i should be relaxing but i wanted to spend time with my husband and daughter more. i want to bond with them coz that is the only time when we could spend time longer than usual.

Hello, hirals. My husband works abroad. WhatI do when he's here with us is the same when he is away. In many cases, wives are likely to be teased by other men, wooed, for example, when their husbands are far abroad. Communication should be frequent with spouses of that situation. Anyway, that's another story...

I'm a housewife and lately I haven't had much time to watch T.V. I hate to clean the only thing I manage to do is the laundry and wash the dishes. I am mostly online.

Well, most of my time is spent taking care of my 9 month old, but when he is playing or sleeping, I take care of housework that needs done. With four of us, there is always laundry to do, not to mention dishes. My computer is in the living room, so I check my email and such from time to time, as well, especially if my son is sleeping and I'm sitting down to eat. I try to piggyback chores, if I can. :) I also have pets to tend to, and my husband sometimes has requests (asks me to bring him something to work, or take care of something else for him) and I run errands. For the most part, my days are the same, I just try to swap chores out so I don't get burned out in doing stuff over and over.

hi hirals! I made the houshold chores before teaching my 3 year old son some basics of learning and when he slept in the afternoon I read law books and other informative material for my personal growth and in the evening I studied for a short term course. My husband leaves for work for 2 months onboard a vessel that's why I have to keep myself busy with productive things for the betterment of our married life.

I generally try to get all of the housework done and then use the rest of the time to just relax, watch tv, or go shopping. Its not all so easy because I have a daughter that is almost 2 and she gets in the way of cleaning alot. My husband works 10 ours a day so I really have plenty of time to do everything. Somedays I slack, and get everything done last minute. Then when it starts getting close to time for him to get home I start supper. Being a housewife can get very boring and lonely also.
