Homemakers have a wonderful profession. Articles like yours are very demeaning. I do work "out of the home" full time. I am a graphic designer. BUT, I still get more out of taking care of home and family than I do out of what you seem to consider "REAL" work. To each his own. You should be glad that somebody does want to take care of the home and raise children, and take care of all the errands. Men and women are different and working the same job doesn't make male = female. I'm sick of listening to my own gender whine. Nobody forces anyone to be a homemaker. It's a choice - and a comendable one!
I agree with Ms. Janice Moore, homemakers have a wonderful profession. Without us, I think the house is messy. I am a teacher and a part time DJ, but I still have time to clean the house, wash the dishes, prepare food for the family and so much more. But I'm not ashamed of it. In fact, I am glad I'm a homemaker who deserves a respect.
Interesting that you referred to cleaning less than our mothers as progress. What's wrong with keeping a clean house, looking nice, and being happy? These "oppressed" women are my role-models. It was the man's way of thinking that needed to change. And thankfully, most men are appreciative toward their wives rather than feeling entitled to these services. I would add, however, that whoever brings home the bacon shouldn't have to cook it if they can afford it. And it's nice to have some help when you can get it.
I love this stuff to pieces. Pick me up with a Hoover and wash me with Tide.
Ink,wash and a straight india ink pen. A couple of good camel hair brushes and away these great artists went. I admire them as some people admire skyscapers and jet airliners that can take people where ever they wish to travel to..... in a flash!
Not all women hate domestic work. You make it sound shameful.
