Is it wrong to just want to be a housewife and not be paid for the jobs you do at home, to be just a mum (and perhaps a well known artist and a successful food business owner/operator) and be able to take your child to school and pick her up after school, to make her lunch everyday and prepare an afternoon snack for when she gets home, to cook dinner every night without being truly physically and mentally exhausted, to do the washing any time in the week instead of the weekend (because that is the only days off you normally have and no one else has done it and they don't care), to do housework a little at a time instead of all at once on the weekend (again because no one else has done it and don't care), and to just do whatever if you feel like it or nothing if you don't feel like it. Is it so wrong? I am not wishing anything because they say you should be careful what you wish for, but I do think a lot about the times I miss at home doing my own thing......like cooking up a storm......starting my food business which I have wanted for so long.........creating more art for personal gain and financial gain, spending more time with Zoe where I am not tired and had enough of school work, It would be nice not having to get up to go to work each day where I feel I am owned. I like my job, I am not saying I don't but there must be something more to life than going to work five days a week and coming home and doing the same old thing because you haven't got the energy to do what you want when you want. May be I am just tired, I am just getting over a rotten cold and after all it is nearly the end of term.....3 weeks left of school and school holidays start....One good thing to look forward to.......and then there is Christmas.........I love Christmas with all it's glory. Is it so wrong to want more time to do the things you really want?

It is my dream to stay at home and do those things. Our 'new' house is 8 years old and I have never stayed home for a week just to 'be' home. I work 10-4 each day in our business and I pay a cleaner to do two hours - every Friday morning I do a total tidy then she vacuums through, mops throughout, cleans toilets and bathrooms. House sparkles and I come home and can relax. Cost $40
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good thing.......hmmmm maybe a good plan for us also. More time to do the things we want.
