So..what are you up to these days??
Welllll…not much. You tell me?
You mean you are not working? Not even part time??
Noooo..too much on my platter right now. It is tough..No time..
Why NO time? You are doing nothing! Wasting your time. What`s` wrong with you? So much you studied. For what?
Well I did because I enjoyed it.
Hah. Just TP? What`s wrong with you.?How can you just while away your time? Do something concrete in life. Don`t be JUST a housewife.
Well, I am not JUST a housewife. Do you know how much effort it requires to run a house? I am the CEO of my house and have to face staff attrition, poor quality work, budget constraints.. everything like you do in your office.
Yeah.. Why not?
What do you mean why not? It requires serious management skills to run a house efficiently..
Yeah and the ones who are working don`t have efficient homes. Right? Stop giving silly excuses to cover your lazy attitude.
Of couse they do .But I am sure they have to make tough choices.And what do you mean Lazy? I get up at 6am to ensure that my son leaves for school with hot lunch from home. And when DH is up he has milk for his tea. Get the house cleaned. Oversee all the maids, iron out their fightings (Yes in -house fights happen here too) pay the bills, buy groceries..
Hah !So what is so great about it? My 8th pass Mother does the same and if I may say so..maybe more efficiently.
Yes . maybe,but that`s because she has 34 years of experience.
So ? You are so educated. Living in a modern city ,all household help at your beck and call, modern appliances, take away joints, home delivery of grocery ,medicines and You DON`T have TIME??? How crass is that?
Crass? Really ?Well I have no time because I love to maintain a beautiful house,and also love myself. So I go for Yoga, singing, lunches with my friends, for a walk in the evening. And I plan to learn an instrument and a language soon. And I do NOT feel guilty about it. I help my children with their school work, my husband with his official documents and bank work. So where is the question of wasting my education?
In short whiling away. And what is this teaching my kids? Have you lost it? A 12th grader can handle it. Bank work ? Really? A peon can do that. Why did you block a seat and deny someone needy of a chance?
Needy? As in monetarily? And what about my need? My desire to learn ?
All rubbish. It`s true the more you study the more you get confused in life. I wish a talented person like you would not just while away their time.
Grrr..It is my life and I choose to live it like that. I will work when I feel like.
Hmm Sad . But what to do. You want to be JUST a Housewife..
