All Housework and No Breaks Makes a Housewife Burn Out (Housewife Sayings by JenExx)


ALL HOUSEWORK AND NO BREAKS MAKES A HOUSEWIFE
BURN OUT:
When a housewife doesn’t give herself a break from the routine of housework, she is setting herself up to burn out. Just as housework is important, it is also important to plan for time off with a meal out to allow for a break from cooking and post-meal cleaning. Such a break is an opportunity for a housewife to recharge by enjoying a change of pace from her regular routine.
