To all unappreciated housewives
What Do You Do All Day?
A man came home from work and found his three children outside, still in their pyjamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard.
The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog. Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall. In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing.
In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door.
He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened.
He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys
strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls.
As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pyjamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went.
He looked at her bewildered and asked, 'What happened here today?'
She again smiled and answered, 'You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world I do all day?'
'Yes,' was his incredulous reply.
She answered, 'Well, today I didn't do it.'
Yes true at times we do take alot fro granted from our women. Yes we do get so distracted by relating to our work days. Thanks for the reminder. We do need it at times to really appreciate what our women put up with in the name of family.
Motivation is when your dreams put on work clothes.

This a a good one. No doubt men work very hard too but their time stops when they get home, for women its 24/7..
Especially for paid working mums too..
I cant complain though all i had to do is leave the kids with hubby once and he always say, "I dont know how you women do this all the time, i appreciate everything you do for the family."
Being a mother is the hardest job on earth..
By the way .. i guess its time to change ...because many moms work too now...
but what i have seen around they are still considered to be the major role-player around the house as well even after coming from work.
Never Ask for a SMILE..just GIVE it..
Ok, I know you men work hard. I know. And most of you have stress, of course.
But for you it's a change when you come back from work. For us, it's a 24/7, all the same, all the same. And also stress.
So if I would like a guy to help me out after he comes back from work, he should understand it that I'm going ballistic with the kids after 12 hours! And for him to play with a choo choo train is something different to what he was doing at work (I hope so, anyway :D)

It's a two way street.. Women have to relise tha we men have stresses at work also..We usually work through the day without coffee mornings, Oprah or QL :)
Hehehehe i always dare my husband to switch places just for one day, so he will know hoe hrd to be a housewife....
I know, isn't it strange how they come back from work, so tired, and they think that women who don't work in the office do nothing all day!
My friend left her husband with the kids for a day. Only after he had to look after them for a whole day he understood and said: actually, I realize now that you work really hard. Sorry, I didn't know that before!

Never Ask for a SMILE..just GIVE it..

If husbands wants heaven in the homefront. It's time they appreciate the gargantuan task of home making and much more help in keepng the home the way it should be. It takes two tango.
