A HOUSEWIFE STARTS WHERE SHE’S AT:

A housewife doesn’t begin her life as a homemaker by knowing everything; knowledge takes time, and with the passing of time comes experience.

A housewife can’t put off being a housewife because she is new, or doesn’t know how to do something, or doesn’t live in the house of her dreams; in the world of housewifing it’s cook or starve, therefore she must throw herself into the fray of daily housework and home management in order to learn, improve her skills, and make the best of her living situation. 

The good thing is that every day is an opportunity for a housewife to learn how to care for her home and family, and she begins the process the same way all experts begin, by starting where she is at.
