Housework and cooking alone does not take up much time, but with kids, it gets crazy. Watch lifetime shows. They show the secret lives of housewives all the time. The difference between a housewife and a professional is that the professional works 9 to 5. A housewife works 24-7.
Mad props to people who stay at home and take care of their families, whether male or female. |

Professional women work 9-5 and then come home and work the rest of the time too. Double shift.

Right, so you don't really have a basis for your assertions since you are not home all the time to know what a housewife does all day.

the issue is that you called it "rude" when its not... seriously think about your mom and how hard it must have been for her (may Allah(swt) reward all mothers) before you talk crap

We must be filthy monkeys because we need to clean everyday...we don't though it would be too much work. Then again our basement has a lot of cats in it.
