How to be a Modern Housewife
Step 1
The alarm goes off for the whole family and everyone is trying to get ready at once. You are up and in the shower first while hubby gets the kids going. When you finish in the shower and finish your hair and makeup he can have the bathroom or build his own.
Step 2
Breakfast is a great microwave combo. No one over eats anymore during the first light of morning. It's bad for your health and hard to stay awake. Everyone throws out the microwave dishes. Before going out the door to work you start the dishwasher so the dishes are clean when you get home.
Step 3
He takes the youngest to the sitter and you take the older to school. Then it's off to work for you to help earn the living just like he does.
Step 4
As you are driving home you already have dinner planned. Once in the drive way hug the kids, the hubby and the dog. Go to your room and change into something loose and comfortable. Take your hair down and wash you face with cool water.
Step 5
Put dinner in the oven. Then you sit down while the kids do a little homework and have yourself a glass of wine! Relax for a few minutes and talk to the man you married until it's time for him to change the laundry to the dryer and start another load.
Step 6
You can put dinner on the table while everyone grabs their own plates and utensils. Have a relaxing meal with music in the background. Talk to each other! Even if it's a fast meal you can still get in a good conversation.
Step 8
Everyone cleans the table and puts the dishes in the dishwasher that is now empty because the kids put the clean dishes away when they got home from school! Time for dessert! Nothing is better than a good old fashioned apple pie bought at the grocery store on your last shopping trip.
Step 9
On weekends it's time to work together to get the rest of the cleaning and responsibilities done.
If the kids don't want to help then they don't get the nice clothes they want when it comes time. They also get grounded!
If hubby complains he is tired after working and you should do it all because you are the wife tell him fine and for every extra job you do during the week is 2 hours of spa time on the weekend!
Step 10
The modern wife will make a list for everyone in the family and what their job is so there isn't any fighting with the kids to do something or trying to figure out why the hubby can't see what needs to be done! Prevent yourself the stress and anger. Just give them a list and tell them to have it done in an hour. Ready, set, go!
Step 11
Be in charge and don't let anyone boss you around into their personal servant. Everyone has to help and you are not to take over just because it's easier than arguing with them.
They will have their list and they will do the work same as you.
Ahhh... the modern woman.
Still over worked, over whelmed and finally able to relax and love life a little more than in 1950!
