I wonder how many of you are following and watching the show "Housewives Holiday" everynight 9pm on Channel 8. Well, I am an avid fan of the show. You may wonder why, as it seemed to be an auntish and boring show featuring 3 aunties and their lives as housewives. I'll just say that whatever is shown is very true of a housewife's everyday life. Not just their routines and their characteristics but also on their emotions and concerns. Just yesterday, they talked about having more or less children and how the men (they don't talk about their hubbies but MEN in general) just hold a job and think they are contributing a lot at home while the wives handle all other things including housework, children, their children's homework, in laws relations, finance, savings, cooking, and the many many endless little things in their life. Well, isn't that so true! Of course, there are other exceptional cases around where fathers play very active roles in families but really the percentage is so low that we usually cannot really see that happening around us. I believe full time working mothers have the worst, with the need to provide for the family in addition to what we stay home mothers are doing. I've been there, so I know, and really kudos to them for doing a job so well and maintaining their sanity at the same time.
Last sunday was International Women Day and I wonder how many men or husbands really came out and gave their spouses a big hug and thank them for a job well done, plus giving them a day off "work" and enjoy themselves for the day. To those men that did, kudos to you too!
