Being A Housewife Was My Profession Pdf Download

I work night shift and come home and do all of the SAHM work during the day when I should be sleeping. Dad was the home maker for several years and I still came home and did the grunt work. Everyone compliments him being a great dad but really even great dads dont put in half the effort of any barely decent mom.

Housewives and stay at home moms are professionals, just as much as anyone who works outside the home. Creative problem solving, multi-tasking, advanced project management and diplomacy are only a few of the skills a professional housewife requires. On any given day we are required to be project managers, diplomats, childcare workers, nurses, psychologists, chefs, chauffeurs, interior designers, party planners, financial managers, social secretaries, electricians, repair people and change management experts, often all before lunchtime.

Belittled, misunderstood and looked down on, housewives and stay at home moms might begin to believe the misconceptions that are being peddled as truth and start to wonder if we are really not doing enough. It is little wonder that many of us suffer from stress and that eating disorders and various addictions are on the rise amongst us.

very true indeed. Iam currently employed and i always have housemaids to manage my home but the truth is am not getting the best out of it. i feel i am the best person to do it . am thinking of a flexible arrangement where i could do something for a financial gain yet being at home to take care of my home children and husband. Its a choice that needs bravity but am sure me and my family will benefit out of it

Being a stay-at-home mum is not an easy task.

My mom was one and I can relate with your article.

House wives should not be mocked because they are actually the real home managers.

And being a manager, is a herculean task.

My mother was a professional housewife and I enjoyed and benefited from it, so when I had children I managed to stay at home full time during the week and only work on weekends in my career as a registered nurse. My husband took over on weekends and we managed well I worked the night shift so I was also able to enjoy some weekend activities before going to sleep in the late afternoon for work that night. I felt it was the best of both worlds. When my children grew up and were on their own I worked more to help pay for their college tuition and towards retirement and I was happy that I had kept current in my profession to do so. It really is a choice and everyone should decide what is best for their family.

I am truly sorry your husband has been, and is being, so unkind. He has no right to taunt you for taking time away from your career to care for him and for your family, or for anything else. The role of a husband is to be supportive and caring.

Put your children and family first. Working mothers have nothing of which to be proud and the children are neglected. The headmistress next door poured scorn on me for being a stay at home mum, yet she had the nerve to ask me to take in her children when at school meetings!

Do note that none of these careers are particularly highly paid, but this makes for great training in frugality and learning to live on what you have. As a housewife, the likelihood is that you will be living on one income, so the financial and future potential of the jobs you choose will not necessarily be of paramount importance.

First contestant on Mastermind tonight has given her occupation as housewife. Does that mean she is employed by her husband? She looks too old to have children that need looking after, and if she had an adult disabled child then her occupation would be carer.

Surely in this day and age no one claims that their occupation is housewife?

Well, the dictionary definition is 'a married woman whose main occupation is caring for her family, managing household affairs, and doing housework.'.

I suppose if those activities are what occupies her time then it could be described as an 'occupation'. Although the definition of occupation is 'job or profession' which imply paid labour.

It's actually a bit of a shit thing for mastermind to ask people to specify - they might have contenders who are unemployed, particularly eg disabled or long term sick.

Of course it's an occupation. It isn't a paid job, of course (but nor is SAHM, or caring for your own adult disabled child, which you seem to imply would 'count' as occupations) but it is an occupation.

I also think it's weird and unnecessary that they make them state their job. I think they should let them be introduced by a fact about themselves, and if that's their job or the fact they're a housewife fine, but they could also say something more interesting if they want

My occupation is teacher. I spend approximately 25% of my week doing this as I'm part time. Should I change my occupation to something else? I actually spend the greatest proportion of a week asleep, but my occupation isn't somnambulist.

Another contestant gave their occupation as student. So maybe the term should be used to identify what people do during a normal working day as opposed to what they get paid to do?

@Fraggling I know many carers as a result of my job. The vast majority receive carers allowance in order to support them. Being a carer out of the home is a paid job. My intention is not to be judgemental, which is actually what you're being of me!

@LisaSimpsonsbff

I completely agree about having to state their 'occupation' (apart from the fact that we try to guess their occupation before they reveal it- I had her down as a retired civil servant).

@ErrolTheDragon you're absolutely correct. Can't we think of a different word to describe a person who can afford to stay at home because they are supported by their partner?

It all just feels very 1950's Doris Day.

I dont know tbh. Recently we changed our insurance and i was asked about my occupation. I said "Nothing at the moment, im just taking care of the kids at home for now." The insurance guy looked at me like im insane and said "youre a housewife then! Thats not nothing! Its a very important role."

So yes, i guess it counts as an occupation.

I don't know why they even state the contestants' occupation on Mastermind, it is not relevant to the show and doesn't define people.

But if the lady wanted to define herself as a housewife then I think that's up to her.

Some feminists[6][7] and non-feminist economists (particularly proponents of historical materialism, the methodological approach of Marxist historiography) note that the value of housewives' work is ignored in standard formulations of economic output, such as GDP or employment figures. A housewife typically works many unpaid hours a week and often depends on income from her husband's work for financial support.

In rural studies, the word housewife is occasionally used as a term for "a woman who does the majority of the chores within a farm's compound", as opposed to field and livestock work.[citation needed].

Whether the productive contributions of women were considered "work" varied by time and culture. Throughout much of the 20th century, the women working on a family farm, no matter how much work they did, would be counted in the US census as being unemployed, whereas the men doing the same or (even less) work were counted as being employed as farmers.[8]

Regarding family size, a study of three Mexican cities done in 1991 came to the conclusion that there was no significant difference in the number of children in "housewife families" compared to those families with women who worked outside the home.[9]

In a traditional Hindu family, the head of the family is the Griha Swami (Lord of the House) and his wife is the Griha Swamini (Lady of the House). The Sanskrit words Grihast and Grihasta perhaps come closest to describing the entire gamut of activities and roles undertaken by the homemaker. Grih is the Sanskrit root for house or home; Grihasta and Grihast are derivatives of this root, as is Grihastya. The couple lives in the state called Grihastashram or family system and together they nurture the family and help its members (both young and old) through the travails of life. The woman who increments the family tree (bears children) and protects those children is described as the Grihalakshmi (the wealth of the house) and Grihashoba (the glory of the house). The elders of the family are known as Grihshreshta. The husband or wife may engage in countless other activities which may be social, religious, political or economic in nature for the ultimate welfare of the family and society. However, their unified status as joint householders is the nucleus from within which they operate in society. The traditional status of a woman as a homemaker anchors them in society and provides meaning to their activities within the social, religious, political and economic framework of their world. However, as India undergoes modernisation, many women are in employment, particularly in the larger cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad and Bangalore, where most women will work. The role of the male homemaker is not traditional in India, but it is socially accepted in urban areas. According to one sociologist's study in 2006, twelve percent of unmarried Indian men would consider being a homemaker according to a survey conducted by Business Today.[16] One sociologist, Sushma Tulzhapurkar, called this a shift in Indian society, saying that a decade ago, "it was an unheard concept and not to mention socially unacceptable for men to give up their jobs and remain at home."[17] However, only 22.7 percent of Indian women are part of the labor force, compared to 51.6 percent of men; thus, women are more likely to be caregivers because most do not work outside the home.[18] 2351a5e196
