A HOUSEWIFE TAKES A BREAK WHEN SHE NEEDS IT:
When life throws something unexpected at a housewife, it’s okay to take a break from the usual housework routine. In fact, taking an unplanned break can lead to a new routine or figuring out an easier way to get a task done. Even though a housewife is at rest doesn’t mean her mind is at rest though; when it’s time to return to housework, she feels better, has new ideas about her housework tasks, and has a refreshed outlook on the importance of her role as a housewife.
