IT’S EASY TO BE CYNICAL ABOUT HOUSEWORK; THE CHALLENGE IS HAVING A GOOD ATTITUDE:

There’s nothing difficult about being cynical toward housework and hating housework. Housework isn’t always hard, but sometimes the biggest challenge with housework is having a good attitude day after day, which is an important duty of a housewife. While daily housework provides value to a family, a housewife’s good attitude is also of value and something her family can admire along with a clean home.
