- Do not have time, you say? What did you do all day? At home you sit! - once again, Vera heard from her husband who had returned from work. Yes, she did not have time to run to the store and fix his favorite jeans that were leaky on her knee. But really stayed at home. True, along with two children, the same age ... It was a shame she was to tears. Every mother will understand this insult, who remembers what it is like to spin all day, like a squirrel in a wheel, when the tea is still cold on the table and some things just fly out of my head. “They don’t do anything,” made American tattoo artist Richelle Castleberry. She herself has two children and she knows firsthand what it feels like to live in a round-the-clock routine of caring for the family. True, her view of things is a little different from our reality, but America. But there’s something in common. After all, it’s not for nothing that her post on Facebook scored almost 650,000 likes, more than three hundred reposts and about five hundred comments.Photo: @ryshell.coleThis epic publication we allow ourselves to bring in its entirety. And even carefully translate it. "A conversation between a husband (M) and a psychologist (P): P: What do you do? M: I work as an accountant in a bank. P: Your wife? M: It does not work. She is a housewife. P: Who in your family cooks breakfast? M: My wife, because she doesn't work. P: What time does your wife wake up? M: She wakes up early, because she needs to take care of a lot. She cooks dinner for the children, makes sure that they are well dressed and combed, had breakfast, brushed their teeth and took with them all the school supplies. She wakes up with the baby, changes his diapers and changes his clothes. Breastfeeding him and collecting food for children. P: How do your children get to school? M: Does my wife take them to school because she doesn't work. P: And when will they take them to school, what does she do? M: Usually she wonders what else she can do while she’s driven out in a car so as not to remove the child seat once again. For example, go to the supermarket or pay bills. Sometimes she forgets something and then she has to go on business again - along with the baby. After returning back home, she should feed the children with lunch, breastfeed the baby, change the diaper and put him to bed. Then clean up the kitchen, do the laundry and cleaning the house. Well, you understand - because it does not work.Photo: GettyImagesP: In the evening, when you come back from work, what are you doing? M: I rest, of course. I get tired after having spent the whole day in the bank. P.: What does your wife do in the evening? M: She cooks dinner, sets the table, does the dishes, cleans the kitchen again, walks the dog. Helps children do their homework, makes sure they wash and change into their pajamas before bed, change the diaper to the baby, give the children warm milk, and make sure they brush their teeth. At night, she often wakes up to breastfeed and, if necessary, change the diaper while we sleep. After all, she does not need to get up for work. When a woman was asked whether she was working or just a housewife, she replied: I work as a wife 24 hours a day. I am a mother, a woman, a daughter, an alarm clock, a cook, a mistress, a hostess, a bartender, a babysitter, a nurse, a handyman, a guard, an adviser, a quilt. I have no holidays, sick leave and days off. I am always on duty. I do not get paid. But despite this, I constantly hear: “What do you do all day?”Photo: GettyImagesSound familiar?I would probably subscribe to every word. But many mothers manage to work at the same time... - This is the routine of many women all over the world. They are busy from early morning, and their day ends after midnight. And you call this "not working"?! - Richelle is indignant. - To be a housewife, you do not need a diploma, but the house will be held by you. In conclusion, the woman wished: - Love and appreciate your wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, daughter... Because their sacrifice is priceless. A woman is like salt - she is not noticed when she is there, but without her everything becomes bland.
