A housewife in the broadest sense of the word is a woman who does not go to work, but prefers to do household chores. Such ladies may have a variety of reasons that prompted them to make a choice in favor of everyday life, and not a career, and their very attitude to their position is different. Considering these factors, we can conditionally distinguish several types of housewives.
Housewives can choose a home, rather than a career, voluntarily or unwittingly, becoming a victim of circumstance. Women belonging to the first type, as a rule, are quite happy with their lives and happily devote their time to caring for the family and household chores, allowing their husbands to earn money. Another option is less successful: a woman is forced to give up her career because of the demands of her husband or because of the lack of a suitable job. For business ladies, this turn of events is often very unpleasant.
Housewives, unfortunately, are sometimes unkempt, closed only on their family, lazy, not interested in anything and not taking care of themselves. This image has even become stereotyped. However, there are many housewives of a completely different type - beautiful, fit, smart, not sacrificing themselves to household chores, but combining them with self-improvement and care for themselves. They find time for fitness, swimming, etc., shopping and beauty salons, while still having time to cook, clean the apartment, take care of their children and husband. For them, self-care is in the first place, and household chores come second.
A separate category should be allocated to elite housewives, which sometimes become the wives of very rich men occupying a high position in society. Such women, as a rule, try to monitor their appearance, read a lot, take an interest in the affairs of their husband in order to become a worthy companion for him at parties and social events. They do not have enough time for household chores, so such ladies can hire a servant for cooking, cleaning, taking care of children, etc.
There are also professional housewives who are sincerely passionate about their concerns and understand that caring for a husband and children, as well as doing household chores is a difficult job that requires special knowledge and skills. Such a woman is constantly improving, trying to learn as much as possible about housekeeping. She can study the peculiarities of interior decoration and repairs, read specialized books by experienced psychologists on raising children, regularly use new recipes, etc. They are real home keepers who can make the life of their family comfortable.
