*Represents a family. Father, mother, and daughters.

Today, in the year 2015, many women still stay home, and are considered housewives, but their homes sometimes look clean, but are unkempt and dirty.

Not only that, but these women are living outside of themselves, instead of focusing on their houses, they are trying to be athletes, community superheroes, and gymnastic Olympians.

And while they are at home, they have guest, engage in much conflict, and are always stressed out.

Okay, first of all, if you are a housewife you need to be thankful you do not have to work for a living, and should never complain.

Laundry twice a week? Ha! A good wife does up to five loads, in one day, just to see the closet floor.

The bed sheets need to be washed every 10 to 14 days, you need two sheets on the bed and a blanket. Sleep in between the sheets to keep the comforter clean. You need to wash your comforter every 30 to 60 day, or have it dry cleaned so it does not fall apart.

Clean the counters and cupboards, beat the rugs, scrub the stove top until it shines, re-organized the Tupperware cabinet, clean the vents, and disinfected the trash can.

Your house should always be clean and you should always be happy. If you are keeping a proper house, you will not have time to worry about anyone else, but the maintenance of your home.

If you are properly cleaning the house, you will burn enough calories daily and will not need to go to the gym. Instead, you can take a causal walk around the park and save money that you would spend on a gym membership.

There is always something to clean, such as the baseboards, toilets, floors, garage, carpets, counter tops, floors, clothes, bedding and bathtubs. Your house is supposed to be spotless and resemble a model home.

Marriage and children are at the top your priority list. You are supposed to be a good wife and be honest, nice, trustworthy, clean, and happy.

You are a support troop for your home, defending and protecting your family from germs, dirt, chaos, and starvation. It is your job to make sure the home is enjoyable and relaxing.

While your husband is  at work, the wives are responsible for the daily tasks associated with maintaining a home, and also supposed to nurture and look after the children if you have any.

While their husbands were off at work, women would spend much of the day in the kitchen.  Whether it was cooking, cleaning, or washing dishes, the wives are supposed to try to make the environment as comfortable, for their men folk, as possible, when they returned home from a long day’s work, at the office.

Take fifteen minutes to rest so that you will be refreshed when he arrives. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift. Greet him with a smile. Touch up your makeup, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking.

Make one last trip though the main part of the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up children’s books and toys, papers, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you lift too.

By 5:15 pm dinner should be in the oven (Chicken Parmesan, Green Chili Rice, and Tomatoes Provencal) and a drink ready for your mister, as he pulls into the driveway.

If they are small, wash their hands and faces and comb their hair. They are his little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise from the washer, dryer, or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet.

Do not greet him with problems and complaints. Do not complain if he is late for dinner. Count this as a minor problem compared to what he might have gone through that day.

Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest that he lie down in the bedroom. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing voice. Allow him to relax and unwind.

You may have a dozen things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first. Never complain if he doesn’t take you to dinner or to other entertainment. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his need to unwind and relax.

Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal real for you man to return home–on time. Women are always supposed to have a cheerful expression, for their husbands, when they returned home for work. This is a way to let him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned with his needs.

Most men are hungry when they come home, and having a good meal ready is part of the warm welcome that is needed. Notice the hearty plate of food, with the husband ready to eat, as referenced by the knife in his hand?

Also notice how this woman has a cheerful smile on her face.  It was expected that when the husband arrived at home, his wife would act like there was not a problem in the world and provide a comforting atmosphere for her man.

It is your job to make  good decisions to achieve the greatest possible level of health and comfort in a particular household.
