Happy Spouse, Happy House

Source When I hear the phrase 'Happy Wife, Happy Life' it makes me think that there is no consideration for the husband. What if what makes the wife happy doesn't make the husband happy? Should he just accept it because she's happy, and it's only her happiness that creates a happy life? That doesn't sound good to me. I don't doubt that when a wife is happy it can make a husband happy too, but I don't think he should be a slave to her happiness or tolerate something that makes her happy when deep down it doesn't make him happy. If only one person is happy in a relationship, whether it's the wife or husband, that's a crappy relationship. Both spouses deserve to be happy in their marriage and in their home.

Dear Whining Housewives, Get Off Your Pity Pot

Source   Growing up as a GenX kid meant adults didn't put up with my whining attitude, and that's why I'm not inclined to put up with whining from able-bodied housewives when it comes to housework. Oh, no; your house is so big you can't handle taking laundry up the stairs with your mobile legs.  Oh, no; you have to take dishes out of a machine and put them away with your mobile arms. Oh, no; you have to post pictures of your misery on social media because housework takes forever. As Frank Barone would say: Stop your crying and get off your pity pot, Nancy! Housework isn't hard work, but it is a lot of work, and it takes a tough person to do it day in and day out. Housewives are strong and they get their strength from doing housework every day, whether they want to or not. Now, suck it up like an adult and go put the laundry away.

Knowing is Half the Battle. Cleaning is the Other Half.

Source Knowing what needs to be done when it comes to daily housework tasks makes it easier to do what needs to be done.  Routines, processes, and systems all go into cleaning as much as the act of cleaning, as well as knowing how to clean.  When a housewife starts each day knowing what to do and ends each day with a plan for what to do the next day, her housework is already half done. 

A Woman's Place is in Control of Her Home

Source A housewife who stays home all day and cares for her home every day is in control of her home. She is the one in charge of arranging, cleaning, decluttering, and organizing her home. Being in charge of numerous housework tasks, along with being an owner of the home, empowers her and gives her control the likes of which she can never get as an employee at a job. 

A Home is a Terrible Thing to Waste

Source A neglected home is a wasted home. Considering that a home is most often the largest bill and biggest asset for a married couple, when both husband and wife are away from a home all day, the home is neglected and goes to waste. When a home doesn't get cleaned regularly it is neglected and it is a waste of the money that is spent every month paying for that home. A home is a building that requires attention, care, and love from a dedicated homemaker every day so that it doesn't go to waste.

Just Because You Do Housework Doesn't Mean You're a Housewife

Source Working women who get paid to work, on top of doing housework at home, are not in the same category as housewives; while working women do housework, they are not considered to be housewives. Similar to athletes who do running drills compared to runners who only run; basketball players are not considered runners just because they do running drills, they're basketball players. Housewives do housework and nothing but housework, whether it's cooking, cleaning, tending to family needs, or running errands to keep homelife in order. Housewives don't do housework when they're not at a paying job, because housewives don't have paying jobs; that is the essence of being a housewife -- a housewife occupies her time with housework and personal interests; she does not collect income or make income a priority in her life because earning money is for husbands in the world of housewives. A housewife doesn't have to balance housework with paying work nor place priority of

Of Course I Deserve Better. That's Why I Stay Home.

Source Women do deserve better. Women deserve better than sitting in traffic, tolerating coworkers they don't like, pleasing bosses they don't like, and settling for a lifestyle that leaves them full of stress and unhappiness. I no longer deal with these problems because I became a housewife once I got married.  Now I stay home and take care of my home every day for someone I love -- my husband; when my husband comes home from work, he has a clean, orderly home to relax in, and I do, too. My life is better as a housewife compared to when we both worked, and my husband's life is better, too.
