A HOUSEWIFE DOES HOUSEWORK EVEN WHEN SHE DOESN’T WANT TO DO IT:

A housewife knows that her home won’t get clean if she doesn’t do it; she also knows that life is better with a clean home, and she knows that it is her responsibility to take care of her home. 

So, instead of avoiding her duties, she does housework whether she wants to or not.

Some days it may go slower and some days it may go faster, but so long as a housewife rises to the challenge of keeping up on housework, she feels better for accomplishing her goals even when she’s not in the mood.
