A HOUSEWIFE IS DEPENDABLE:
Just like a woman in the work world who has people depend on her, a housewife has people who depend on her too. A woman in the work world takes her responsibilities seriously and so does a housewife. A woman in the work world can’t avoid her responsibilities without consequences, and a housewife can’t avoid her responsibilities either because her family and loved ones depend on her to be there for them, to care for them, and to make home the best it can be for all of them to enjoy together.
