Why a Womans Place is in the Home
You were told that anything boys can do, girls can do. You were offended when you heard the term ‘barefoot and pregnant.’ You thought a “woman’s place being in the home” was ignorant and old-fashioned. You didn’t think you’d enjoy cooking meals. You liked restaurants and take out. You thought you were independent. You had a job and a career.
Here’s why you’re so much happier now.
1. Routine. You always know what to do and when to do it: when to wake up, when to have things ready, when you have time to sit and stare out the window, what time His car pulls into the driveway. It’s so good to know what to expect. So good to never wonder. So good to just follow the routine.
2. The world is strange. All those debates about politics and economics and social issues gave you a headache. Now that your domain is the home, you never have to think about those thorny questions. You biggest questions are what to wear, what to buy at the grocery store, and if today is a laundry day.
3. It feels right. You still remember the day you came home late from work and he had to make you both dinner. You got red all over. It was never his job, it was always yours. You knew it, and He knew it. You’ll never make that mistake again.
4. Cooking is a woman’s job. He always praises your cooking. You never thought you could be so proud of an accomplishment so why not take the time to do more.
5. There is order. When you both worked, your home was always neglected. Always dishes in the sink. Always mail to sort. Things piled up. Now, the house is in perfect.
6. No competition. When you were trying to make it in the working world, you were exhausted all the time. You tried to lean-in, compete, stay ahead of things, but it was so hard for you. He, on the other hand, competes with relish.
7. Housework. Making sure the house is clean after a full week of work is not fair to Him so of course it’s for you to do, and your desire to keep him happy means the house is spotless.
8. No Stress. Outside your home, you were constantly unsure of how to dress. Work appropriate means ‘don’t be too sexy’ but if you try to be sexy, are you being slutty? Now, you dress like the perfect housewife, just like they used to show on TV. You love how you look and how He looks at you.
9. Children. You’re ready to be bred. The house is ready. Your mind and body are ready. He’s ready. You can’t imagine how women who work could possibly make a suitable home for a family. You know you’re going to be the perfect mother.
10. It’s Who We Are. At first, you hated this reason. When you read it at first, you thought it was a joke. You see now that it’s the root of everything. The truth that was always with you. You’re only a girl. You can’t be expected to do more than this. You accept it. After all, it’s your natural state.
