I Love My Life

Good for you. But some people work very hard for their paycheck to survive. It's not just an identity issue. You're very lucky to have a great husband who you can love and trust who loves you and respects you back. Some single mothers are left to do both the house work and make a living for their kids. Imagine being in their shoes.

I can relate to your story completely. Although it took me a while to get used to this state of contentment. Being able to stay at home and bring up kids and look after your husband in the best possible way (spoiling everybody around you actually) as well as doing all the work around the house and garden is very rewarding, once you have learnt to embrace it and not feel, as if you might not do enough by not pursuing a career. I am at a stage now, where I completely let go of any ambition to join the regular workforce again and I am happier than ever. It is society, which puts a certain pressure on you. When people asked me, what sort of job I'm holding, they reacted surprised if I said 'I'm a housewife and mother'. Most people nowadays don't think this qualifies as a rightful way to fill your days obviously... That's why I always pointed out, that I'm doing the bookkeeping for my husband's business (although this really is only a minimal part time job... lol). But nowadays I'm secure enough to reply: "I'm in the lucky position, where I don't have to work outside home anymore! I'm happy to look after my family!" They still are surprised, but rather impressed than questioning my sanity or motives.

What a wonderful story....again!!!!

I love your story. So refreshing. I love when my husband notices the little things, especially because he knows how hard I work to do things for him and my children. I work outside of our home also so my time management is so important too. He has expectations which are very important to him - like laundry done and put away-no baskets sitting around and the groceries kept stocked, stuff like that. But the little things that he does not have to ask for, but has come to expect, those are my favorites like putting the clean towels out for his shower, turning down the bed, coffee in bed on Saturdays. Life is good!

I love you.
