A housewife! Something that all women were about 100 years ago in UK, and society would be grateful. But in 2009, our society looks down on the person who is a full-time housewife.
It must be very difficult as us brothers are always out earning for 8-10 hours then doing "other things", and never knowing what the wife does, hence sometimes its very hard to understand what shes done all day. So i really want to appreciate the job of a housewife.....
What would the job description cover?
What would be the requirements for the person?
How much would she get paid (i.e. if it was a paid job)?
How much help would she expect to receive (I.e husband)?
Can someone explain a full days work?
Please try to make clear what Islam teaches us and what culture says.
FiAmaaniAllah
mashallah the job of a housewife is realy rewarding with allah dont let the west inslave your minds the wife should cook/clean /wash dishers/make the beds and the husband goes out in the morning and comes back in night and she should get the dinner ready on time inshallah if not it can be forgiven
^^To clarify, the woman doesnt HAVE to do it, but she does it to please Allah and keep the husband pleased with her....the Prophet(saw) used to do everythin himself most of the time, unlike nowadays ppl think its fardh on the wife...may Allah reward our sisters for their patience and hard work ameen.
I see it with my cousins. Their husbands are very unappreciative and some of them think they dont do much, subhanAllah.
*Without Allah, without Islam, life would be meaningless. If I've ever learned patience, it's because of this. Alhamdulillah...*
Like some sisters have already said, how the day normally goes by depends on the woman and her situation. I can only account for myself, and my days are almost never the same, but then nothing is ever the same and making plans is something you have to learn to forget all about when you have a baby! My day is usually about keeping the baby happy, the house clean and the fridge full for when my husband comes home. I usually try to get the grocery shopping and cleaning done before lunch so I'll have time to play with my daughter in the afternoon. But like I said, you can make all the plans you like, and nothing turns out the way you want them to with a baby around. Some days she's just tired and whiny and have a tummy ache or whatever, so I don't get anything done.
My husband is wonderful, mashaAllah, and he helps me when he can. He does the dishes sometimes, takes out the trash and he's vacuumed the apartment a couple of times when the baby was really small. He also helps me with her, coz otherwhise I'd never get any cooking done or have any showers....
