A Sentiment of a Housewife
Any woman would say being a housewife is a hard task. I also have my moment when I think that being a housewife is difficult.
As such, I love my husband and child. I consider myself to be so lucky to have him. He helps me take care of the baby. Every time he comes home from work, he will change the dirty diaper. Housewife is truly a treasure beyond measure.
Sometimes, he has a hot temper. I am only a housewife with a sensitive heart, I don’t want him to take me for granted. The term housewife can be thought of as being a title compared to the difficulty of a man working hard on the street.
I don’t have any regrets in marrying him. But, all I want for him is to please be patient, be kind, and be gentle to me.
Without a housewife there would be neither home nor human race.
25 Had something to say...:
kung may dapat parangalang katungkulan yan ay pagiging may bahay. utang nating lahat sila kanila ang ating buhay at kung ano tayo ngayon. kaya nga mataas ang pagpapahalaga ko sa mga inang di iniisip ang kanilang sarili bagkus ang kanilang mga supling.handa nilang talikuran ang kanilang career at sariling kasiyahan, alang-alang sa pamilya. mabuhay ang mga housewife. (pati house husband, gaya ko, teka sasaing pa ako, at titiklupin damit sa dryer para mamaya plantsahin.)
Second ko! Normal yan day, may time talagang we feel ignored and need a little attention. Patience is a virtue kaya give and take nalang. You are really lucky ur husband is helping u out with housework and Maria kahit pagod idn sya sa work nya pero dapat lang naman kasi mas pagod ang nanay sa endless job of doing everything as wife, mother, etc. smile diha, ayu ayo!
Madz normal na yan kong minsan feeling natin ini-ignore tayo, kong minsan kasi busy sila. Ganyan din ang feeling ko minsan lalo na at minsan ang daming ginagawa ni mister, kasi alam mo naman kong ano ang ambisyon nya, di ba? Sinabi ko na sayo sa phone. Wag ng mag tampo kasi mahal na mahal ka naman ni fafa mo, di ba? Tsaka swerte mo nga at tinutulungan ka sa pag aalaga kay Maria. O sige tawagan mo lang ako anytime. Kiss mo ako kay Maria!
Isang lang masasabi ko... U'r right Manay Racquel... Wala gyud home if wala housewife. tc u always! :-)
Hi, raquel... i know how hard it is to be a wife... i am not a wife myself... but i know my mother very much... i love her so much... but there are things that happen in our lives that sometimes we dont have full control of.... so we take life head on ... move on... after the storm... so we seek comfort from the words in the Bible which are also my favorite lines... here they are ... i know you that you you know them by heart.. knowing that you have the best times of your life in Lourdes College....
"For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, And a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.
--Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8
"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of Prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains; but have not love, I am nothing.
Love is patient, Love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
1 Corinthians 13:1-8
It is only true that if we give unconditional love... we reap good fortunes... not only in this world but in the world beyond...
Our sacrifices are only temporary... and we are only transient travelers... but if we create a difference in the lives of people... then we can create meaning for our own existence...
we make a living by what we get... we make a life by what we give... please take care always... you are an excellent wife to Toney and an outstanding mother to Maria... please keep it up... I AM REALLY, REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!
ako magpalahi... gawas sa kalibunan ninyo diha, hehehe...
mao ni ako maingon ha? ani...
Madz, kinsa ba nagsugo nimo nga maminyo diha? og nganong magsige na ka diha og reklamo?
hahahaha....joke lang madz...
opo, sa totoo lang, mahirap nga yan ang trabaho ng maybahay...di rin talaga madali ang mag-asikaso ng pamilya, asawa't anak...kaya namn akoy natutuwa na nagagampanan mo ng mabuti ang iyong piniling trabaho...
tama ka nga, kung wala ang ina, walang future...kaya, hehehe...magminyo nako, hehehehe
sige diha madz...
DOPS
oh Raquel, cheer up! You are not alone. Don't you know that I feel the same too? Being a full-time mom is not that easy. We women are given that gift to bear children, raise them and manage a family. We are even called the "light" of our household. Cheer up, there are times that hubby is stressed out from work and just couldn't help but releases his anxieties at home. What's important I think is to communicate to him how you feel. I'm sure he'll calm down and make it up with you.
I've been longing to write a post in my blog but just couldn't find time for now. Household chores are filing up. My little Melvyn's a little better now. He's not going to school in the meantime. Baka magkasakit na naman. We'll see after the Christmas vacation.
Hope you're feeling better now. Take care!
raq, ningbalik ko... naunsa man nga ang akong napindot "publish" man dayon imbis ako pa untang i-edit thru "preview". Ikaw na lay korek sa akong "filing up", "piling up" baya to akong pasabot. *lol*
Hi, was bloghopping and got your link through Lanie G.
I'm also a housewife and a stay-at-home mom. It's really the hardest job in the world, it's 24 hours a day. We still take care of our family even though we, ourselves aren't feeling better. There are days where it seems that we're not appreciated but I know that they really appreciate us. Maybe they're just having a bad day at work.
Cheer up! :)
~Babette~
CHeer Up!!! Cheer Up!!!! Cheer UP!!!!
Ok lang yan raq normal lang naman yan eh..The most important thing is that U raise Mariah with love and respect.Its the biggest reward as a mother and a house wife to see ur family happy and growing.Seguro,stress lng si fafa sa work and also ikaw din kasi jan ka lang sa bahay.Try mo to unwind ung ikaw lang or maybe with ur fiends kahit 1 or 2 hours lang.U will feel lighter kasi pag nasa 4 corner lang tau ng bahay natin sometimes we feel stress,tired and doom.
Give urself a break U DESERVE IT....
that is so true...being a housewife is very hard. it's a fulltime job. some people take what housewives do for granted assuming it is an easy task. my mama took time off work to take care of my kuya & me. even though she misses working in an office, she enjoyed staying at home with us naman.
so keep your head up high. i'm sure your husband knows how difficult what you're doing is. ikaw rin ang nagsabi, mejo hot-tempered sya...mahirap rin ata ang trabaho nya ;)

I understand why u felt that way raq..stress lang nga cguro yan para sau kc u are a full time mom and a wife..but u are so fortunate to have a husband like him to help you out with maria..di kc lahat ng hubby gnyan lalo na pagod sa trabaho..mnsan very sensitive tau to feel that we are not appreciated..u can open it up to your hubby too of what u feel..sure he'll make it up with you..u deserve to be happy sis!
hi Raquel,
normal lang yan... sometimes I feel that way too...
Please read this with your husband... and it will make you feel better.
Cheer up!
Hi Raq, ah, nice post dito. Ka daghana na sa imong na posts. Ako tawon taking things easy ko, usahay I ran out of ideas og mawalan ng mood sa pag journaling/blog...LOL. Ang dami kong headaches kasi, problema lagi, lalo na kay emotional ko og deeply hurt gyod sa natabo sa my uncle whom I loved so much din. Ka sad. Oy, being a housewife or is a task gyod kay sos lisoda na oy, sometimes I'd rather work ng ibang trabaho kaysa be a homemaker, or sa bahay lang unya may mga little ones to attend to, naku! Never ending job talaga. A mother's job
is never done.
Hi Raquel,
To be a housewife is very hard indeed.
Be Happy, because your job - the mother's job - is the best thing in the world.
God Bless You !
JO:
Jo, thank you ha. Ok lang ilagay ko dito, I like the message kase.
I'm just a Mother??? Excuse me!
Most of us would think that a homemaker got lots of time on her hand... well, think again... being a stay-at-home mom means you're on call 24/7... it also means you can't afford to get sick or who else can take your place... it also means you don't get any time off (vacation/sick/maternity leave) even though the kids are driving you crazy... definitely its a full time job like any other jobs out there... it also means you are not compensated financially unlike other jobs out there! It takes a lot of dedication... a lot of patience... a lot of sacrifice... a lot of intervention... and a lot of love and hugs and kisses to keep this job!
The payback? A loving and healthy family! Defintely a job worth having!!!
Happy Mother's Day to all,
especially to the greatest moms in the world,
my mama and mother in law!
I got this from a friend and I thought I'd share it with all the "super moms" out there!
========================================================
A few months ago, when I was picking up the children at school, another mother I knew well rushed up to me. Emily was fuming with indignation. "Do you know what you and I are?" she demanded. Before I could answer and I didn't really have one handy ... she blurted out the reason for her question.
It seemed she had just returned from renewing her driver's license at the County Clerk's office. Asked by the woman recorder to state her occupation, Emily had hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.
"What I mean is," explained the recorder, "do you have a job, or are you just a...?" "Of course I have a job," snapped Emily. "I'm a mother". "We don't list 'mother' as an occupation...'housewife' covers it," said the recorder emphatically.
I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself in the same situation, this time at our own Town Hall. The Clerk was obviously a career woman, poised, efficient, and possessed of a high-sounding title like "Official Interrogator" or "Town Registrar."
"What is your occupation?" she probed. What made me say it, I do not know. The words simply popped out. "I am a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations."
The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair, and looked up as though she had not heard right. I repeated the title slowly, emphasizing the most significant words. Then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.
"Might I ask," said the clerk with new interest, "just what you do in your field?" Coolly, without any trace of fluster in my voice, I heard myself reply, "I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn't) in the laboratory and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). I'm working for my Masters (the whole darned family) and already have four credits (all daughters)! Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree)? And I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most run-of-the-mill careers and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money."
There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk's voice as she completed the form, stood up, and personally ushered me to the door.
As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants -- ages 13, 7, and 3. Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (6 months) in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern. I felt triumphant! I had scored a beat in bureaucracy!
And I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable to mankind than 'just another mother'.
Motherhood... What a glorious career. Especially when there's a title on the door.

Hi Raquel,
Iwit ko aning imong post dah. I know what you feel. I also feel the same thing here. Being a house wife is the hardest part of the job not matter your healthy or your sick. Still need to manage to take care of the family. Sometimes I feel like I am just a helper in the house because I feel that my hubby wont appreciateof me being stay home mom and sometimes He tells me I had to find job and to socialized people not because getting a job is making money but also I can get out. The problem is when I start working I got really sick and I had to stop because its too much work for me being parttime mother and housewife specially i work over night. Sometimes I hate why I married american, it just because I am too tired and I still working around the house 100% plus working at night too much and stressful kaayo. I said, to myself when I work fulltime next year I will tell him. He need to contribute of helping me working around the house like cleaning and doing laundry since he dont cook. Kay ako naman good tanan ok lang ron kay wala koy trabaho. Its also hard kay kung magsakit ko wala siya ug I had to manage myself to get out in bed para lang atimanon si Andrew,but if his sick I take care him 95%. looy kaayo ko kung ako magsakit kay walay moloto mantiner lang ko ug can soup. Makaingon ko mamatay ko dinhi kung matigulang nako kung ako ang magsakit kay dili man kabalo moatiman ako bana pero biya sa pagsakit nako 2 months ago nagtake siya ug day off para lang maatiman niya ko ug si Andrew kay dili man gyod ko makaatiman tungod sa ako broncho.
Try to manage to take care Maria kay nagexpect na imoa bana na ikaw na tanan, but he need to help you even just fed him and change diaper. Before you have another one try to get the driver license para pwede kana makadrive kay lisod kaayo kung magsalig lang sa bana. Sauna maghilak ko sa first year nako dinhi unya nagwork ko ug temporary. Dili ko niya mapick up in 2 hours. I feel depressed gayod. NA sige hugs and kisses to Maria and take care.
