The under rated job

For the last couple of months I have taken on a new role: housewife. This position is so underrated. It seems that not many people really knows what she does and the government does not acknowledge her by giving her a salary or any recognition. She takes on the role of mom, housekeeper, chef, secretary, landscaper, nurse/doctor, repair woman, entertainer, counselor, chauffeur, event planner, teacher, and depending on which housewife you ask there are are even more roles. Her job is 24/7! Those who work in corporate America leave their home and start the job at a time and when the day is over they leave their job at the work place. A housewife may leave the house to run errands and things however she lives and sleeps at her job everyday, so there is never a moment that she is not on the job. When your husband comes home from work his day ends while you are still working hard. All these things are done mostly taking care of others not herself. All of this and she will never be employee of the month, Teacher of the Year, Top Chef and etc. It does not mean that her husband does not appreciate her and what she does...its just that it seem her hard work and efforts are truly unnoticed because she does not work in corporate America and does not fall into some tax bracket.

If you ever came home to a clean home, had food on your table, clean clothes on your back, or gotten to or from the mall or other places with the help of your parents please tell them how much you appreciate it. Do something nice for them not just because it is Mother's day or Father's Day.
