Do stay-at-home moms get the recognition they deserve?

The answer is a sure no. Stay at home moms or housewives are not easy as what many people view it to be. Lets start by what is the job of a stay home mum. As the name already suggest, it is a mother who stay at home. A stay home mom is a women who stay at home to look after her children and ensure that everything at home run smoothly and the house is clean and tidy.

The job of a stay home mum includes disciplining and teaching the children besides the role of managing the household. The working time is long. It is a all time job, a whole day and whole night job and you can hardly have any annual leave, sick leave nor are they any locum or any partimers to replace you.

Stay home mums of young children is the stressful of all. When children are small, they require a lot of attention and time. It is even more stressful when they have small babies and many children to look after. Caring of small babies require you to wake up at several time intervals and this depleted you of your sleeping time. In the day time, you need to look after younger children, who need you to bring them to and fro the school.

While looking after babies, need you time and companionship, you must divide your time to do housework. When one baby is sleeping, another one is awake at time. Small children want you to play with them, and you need to nurture and educate them as well. On the other hand, you need to do housework such as sweeping the floor, picking up toys, mopping the floor, do some dusting every now and then, wash the laundry clothes, hang them and also to fold the dried clothes. You need to cook for the family, feed the babies and children.

The life of a housewife is no fun. The life of a stay home mum is living for others. There is hardly any time for living for yourself. You need to serve the family. When you have put in so much time and effort in the family and you are well appreciated and love by your children and spouse, you will feel that you have done your job and what you have sacrificed is worth it. However, this is mostly not the case. Man always want to look at beautiful women. Where stay home mum is concerned, they are always dressed up for the home, in casual home clothes. Everyday what the husband see is that. While husband who work, went out of the home, they see women well dressed for work, capable women and they tend to have extramarital affairs in time to come. They lose interest in their wives who are housewives.

As a stay home
