How to be a Homemaker

I have met and read about women who tried to be homemakers but failed or had very hard times doing what is, according to the feminists, brainlessly easy work. Why would an intelligent woman have so much trouble doing what is supposed to be such stupid work?

The feminist movement is made up of people who are actually socialist and are just using the emotional weapon of womanhood to fight their battle for their preferred way of government; government as parent to us all. They have a vested, political interest in having as many women in the workforce as possible and having as many children under the control of the state as soon as possible. 

These people would not, of course, have any reason to admit that Home Making is actually a difficult, imaginative, creative, challenging and fulfilling career. In fact, they have every reason to lie and say just the opposite.

 Through their propaganda, they have stolen mothers from their babies (daycare workers simply don’t make good mommy substitutes), wives from their husbands (Betty Crocker and the Merry Maids just don’t do a good job), and women from their homes. Many women today work to exhaustion and never feel fulfilled because their homes are a mess, their children and marriages troubled. They know what is most important (their families) but believe they can best use their talents slaving for someone else instead of caring for their own home and family. 

“Mother” is not just something you are, but is something you do; something your babies need you to do right up until they leave to make their own homes. “Wife” is not just a title, but an occupation equal to “Vice President” or “Plant Manger.” A good wife is as valuable as a right arm to any man. A Home Maker is someone who makes a home, a place of comfort, education, nurturing, and refreshing for those she loves the most. A home is the expression of a woman’s artistic soul, her inner-most being. 

Since Home Making is actually a difficult job and you need to prepare for it. Many women try to go into it without the least idea of what to expect and how to do the job. If you are like the average American woman, you spent at least thirteen years in school (K-12 plus possibly preschool and/or college). During this time someone else was telling you what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. You were taught obedience; do what you are told and you get a good grade. True thinking for your self gets you sent to the principles office. 

If you worked after you graduated school, your boss told you what to do, when to do it and how to do it. Again, do what you are told and you get a paycheck. Think for yourself and you get fired. 

As a homemaker, there will be no one to tell you what to do, when to do it or how to do it. You will find yourself for the first time as truly your own boss in charge of your own schedule with no immediate reward (grade or paycheck). This is a much bigger change than most women anticipate. 

Let’s add to this that you were trained for each grade by the previous grade and your schooling trained you for the workplace. After getting your job, you probably went though a training period also. So you began each previous experience fully prepared and knowing what was expected of you. Today’s American woman has likely had NO training at homemaking. You are going into this job cold turkey.

Add to this that most women come home after their baby is born so you are hormonal, exhausted, and having to learn the job of motherhood along with learning homemaking and self-bossing. It’s really no wonder many women give up after just a three-month maternity leave. 

The problem of course is, that going back to work doesn’t solve many of the problems. You still don’t know how to parent and now you have very little time to practice. You still don’t know how to keep a house (and it still needs keeping as long as people live there) but now you don’t have the time to actually do the work. And daycare children are sick more often, have learning disabilities and mental illnesses fifteen-times more often than mommy care children, ADHD twice as often, and are much more likely to have trouble in school and even their marriages when they grow up. 

Speaking of marriages, did you know that homes where the hubby earns a living and wifey makes life worth living have lower divorce rates than homes where both work or where hubby stays home while wifey works?

So what do you need to expect when you come home?
