Housewife
Due to my experience of the totally boring summer, that literally makes me crazy, I asked my Mother if given the chance she could be a housewife, would she be one? I expected, given the context of her fulfillment in her service, that she would say no. But she said if ever, she would be a housewife. I just dont get it how someone can be happy fulfilling the role of a housewife- cleaning, cooking everyday, much like a maid- with no surprises or challenges whatsoever. I guess that's just my opinion.
Edit: I was just wondering right now, what if all your kids become adults and independent? Where they do not need any tending or doting anymore, would being a housewife still be fulfilling for wives amidst that scenario?
I also would like our society to not only have housewives, but househusbands too. The traditional concept that housewives are wives only is a bit sexist for me. I think there are already some househusbands, except those who are actually lazy and freeload from other members of the family (which I do not consider authentic househusband), but I hope the woman to man ratio in the household would be neutralize.

i think it's a mother's fulfillment, serving her own family, taking care of the kids and her husband, and etc. and also for a mother, everyday is a challenge for her to endure.
and like you, opinion ko lng din naman 'to.
I also see that in my mom. Though she wouldn't want to be a plain housewife. After work, housewife naman ang trabaho niya kahit pagod na siya at madami siyang sakit. ^_^
suguro kasi masarap yung feeling na ikaw mismo ang nag-aalaga sa pamilya mo. iniisip ko nga kung magiging epektib akong housewife sa tamad ko sa household chores. mas exciting para sa akin ang humahabol sa deadlines. hehe. adrenaline rush! =)
@pReTTy_rAeCheLLe - hehe pareho tayo. :P
@Truncated - I guess i just couldnt imagine anyone so selfless to offer all her time for her family. its amazing.
@ayelmonceller - yep, kahit indi siya housewife, inevitable pa rin na she'll do housewife roles.
Aye aye! I'm with you on that one. It's so stereotypical to be assumed that a woman has to stay home, take care of the kids, and be a household servant. I'd go insane. It's a tough job, but I guess it makes some people happy.
@WiseOrFool - I guess some people can handle being idle for a long time better than us. :(
Well, not totally negative.
But then again what kind of response did you expect from a person whose lived a negative life?!
