TOUGH TIMES DON’T LAST, BUT TOUGH HOUSEWIVES DO:
Tough times impact everyone, including housewives, but the good news is that tough times don’t last, and a tough housewife will keep going through the tough times. When days are hard, the best thing a housewife can do is take one step at a time, tackle one task at a time, and take a rest when it’s needed; housework isn’t going anywhere and if it takes longer to get done, then, so be it. The important thing is for a housewife to not feel defeated when life gets uncomfortably tough and to remember that this, too, shall pass.
