Being Housewife Is a 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀. ❤⁣ ⁣

 Have you seen this post going around lately? ⁣

⁣

"Nakakakapagod na magwork, gusto ko na lang maging housewife."⁣

⁣Many were triggered by this and I am not surprised. I myself had a tinge of negative emotions here. (But hey, I am not here to bash her.)⁣

⁣It's just really interesting how others view being a housewife as something easy. ⁣

⁣Sadly, it is not. (Well maybe if you have 10 alalays and lots of money that you don't have a lot to worry about.)😜⁣

⁣In the early years of our family, there was a time that we didn't have any helper and I had 3 toddlers, a big house to take care of (and not to mention a kennel full of dogs of sensitive breed with puppies na minsan ni-tu-tube feed ko pa.) Imagine the chores I had to do. And I forgot to mention, my partner only went home every weekend because we lived in Bulacan at that time and he was working in the city. ⁣

⁣It. Wasn't. Easy. Thus the depression. ⁣

⁣The fact that I had 3 humans fully dependent on me, mabigat na na responsibility. I had to keep them safe, nourished and healthy, and made sure they were learning new things. Toddlers eh. Plus all other Mommy stuff pa that I had to do. ⁣

⁣𝗔𝗹𝗮𝗺 𝗺𝗼 𝘆𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗱 𝗻𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗱 𝗸𝗮 𝗻𝗮 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗱 𝗺𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲? Sure, fulfilling naman talaga sya especially when you see how beautifully your kids are growing.... but sometimes, when you need to buy something for yourself or for your kids - money does matter. It's draining, di lang ng energy but also ng self-esteem.⁣

⁣And what can make it more painful is that if one's husband or partner doesn't see those efforts, kasi nga no Php value. I know many Moms experience this. They feel worthless because their productivity doesn't translate to money. ⁣

⁣There are men who love to have their wives at home to manage the household and be hands on in taking care of their kids but they fail to or forget to recognize their efforts. 😔 (Oh men please, be these Mommas' source of strength, not heartache.)⁣

⁣Being a housewife isn't something you only do 9am to 5pm... It's round the clock, 24/7 work. And Moms give their all, sagad hanggang kaluluwa. ⁣

⁣I hope someday no one will look down on the term "housewife"... no one will regard it as "housewife lang"... 𝗱𝗮𝗵𝗶𝗹 𝘀𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗡𝗔 𝗽𝗮 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴 (𝗸𝗮𝗵𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗼𝗺, 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗺, 𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗺) 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗻𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀. ❤⁣
