Weekend is here and I am sure with all the festivities around everyone is in high mood these days. I hope that all my friends across the globe had a good Thanks Giving celebrations.
Today I want to talk about the challenges of a home maker, as funny as it may sound but then there are somethings that gets to my nerves as a home maker. I am not a full-time home maker, but when all your work is from home, it is taken for granted that you need to 100% dedicate yourself to the home chores as well. Till the time I was going to office, I never realized these challenges, but today I can empathize with my mother-in-law who was a full-time home maker.
So, what do you think are these challenges? First of all, let me tell you, as a wife or a mother the most tedious task is to decide what has to be cooked today. Do you think the same? Or is it only Me.....hehehe.
Every morning when I wake up, the first thing that comes up is what has to be cooked today, and I find this more challenging than the cooking part itself, and the whole house looks upto you to make this decision.
Today morning when I woke up, my hubby asked me this question and I blew off, this also made me realize how intolerant I was to these very little things. I blasted him, saying, why is it only me who has to decide this daily, why cannot you take this decision. After that I gave some options, and everyone was like, not this and not that, and that made me all the madder...hehehe.
The other challenging part for me as a home maker is doing the Laundry and ironing, ohh I so much want to run away from this task, but then at the same time I do not want to delegate it to anyone else also, because I feel they just cannot manage it the way I do it. And another task is of cleaning the dishes. When someone else cleans it, I feel like it is unwashed and then I am just waiting to do it all over again. I am never satisfied with anyone doing my laundry and dish washing task, and hence how much ever I do not like to do it, it still remains with me.
Now this is another challenge of a home maker, we get so used to doing things our way, that when someone else does it, we never feel satisfied and we are on our toes. This is me, I am not sure of others, but when I talk to my friends they are more or less the same, so I understand that the same sentiments run across in this particular role.
Another one task I do not like to do is winding up everything and cleaning up the kitchen after dinner. Once I am done with my meals, I like to relax, but then that's not the privilege I can have, else everything will be lying dirty all around in the kitchen.
Phewww, when I was working, I felt life was much simpler....hahaha....now I have to put my brains into these home tasks as well as my work. We women for sure are better multitaskers then men....what say?
