10 reasons to become a housewife

I work like Carlo's dad (even though I'm only a woman). I do not have enough time for either my husband or children. Why are they there - it's scary to look at themselves in the mirror. My breakfasts and dinners are sadly monotonous - in the morning - scrambled eggs with sausages, in the evening dumplings with sour cream (or vice versa - I don't remember). There is no need to talk about dinners. Thanks to my husband: on weekends, which he has one more than me, he is engaged in cooking soups and other"

Hamlet's question "to be or not to be" arose in front of me after I once again, because of work, disrupted the family viewing of a video. A drop that overflowed the patience of my household. "Everything!" they said. - "Either we - or work! Choose." Well, not selfish, eh? After four hours of negotiations with them, I bargained for myself time to "reflect on my behavior." After all, maybe I really should be a housewife? Actually, there are quite a few arguments in favor of this decision:

- I will sleep as much as I want and rest as much as I like

- I will have time to take care of myself: I will go to beauty salons, to the pool and to shaping training

- I will re-read all the books, the reading of which has been postponed for so long

- I will be able to see all the episodes of all TV series, and all the masterpieces of world cinema

- I will finally take up the upbringing of children (otherwise I completely got out of my hands - where my husband is looking!)

- I will learn how to cook amazingly (certainly better than my faithful one) and I will see off and greet my family with delicious pies with cabbage

- I will sign up for English, French and German courses - I will master the wisdom of cutting and sewing, knitting and cross-stitching

- I'll get myself a chocolate Shar Pei and walk it out to the envy of my neighbors

- I will tidy up our apartment (maybe even organize a long-awaited renovation in it)

- I will start planting orchids, roses and palms in the apartment …

- I am…

Thank you to the wise husband who persuaded me not to hack off the shoulder, but to practice in the role of a housewife unknown to me, taking a month's leave at work …

A week later, I already knew how to cook soups, and … I felt a slight nostalgia for the desktop. In two I gave up cutlets, a pattern for an apron and a mathematician for the second grade, but my office began to dream in a dream … After 21 days I told my short biography in three languages, sewed trousers from Burda and looked after a brown clubfoot puppy … from these matters I spent the time on the phone, preventing my colleagues from working hard … After 4 weeks I started repairs in the house and … ran off to work. My husband and children understood me perfectly and did not mind.

In the end, it cannot be said that the experiment was not a success: now I am an excellent cook, I sew fashionable dresses for my daughter, my son proudly walks accompanied by an awesome dog, and the apartment after renovation has been transformed so that it is a sin not to keep it clean and tidy. True, this is mainly done by my household … But in my free time I gladly join them. Correctly say - to each his own.
