The Housewife

I am really so sick of being the housewife. Its not even that I mind doing the the things that a housewife does. Its the fact that I know what everyone thinks.

To everyone else, I am the lazy a$$ that doesn't want to work. I am the b!tch that sits at home all day and night doing nothing and spending my husbands paycheck.

This couldn't be further from the truth. No I do not work and we don't have a child to take care of, but I still do things...

-cleaning (washing dishes, vacuuming, scrubbing the bathroom, picking up...)
-laundry (folding, hanging, putting away)
-grocery shopping (this includes clipping coupons and finding the best deals)
-finances (keeping track of our money, paying bills, budgeting)
-cooking (Yes, I ACTUALLY COOK. I'm not talking about boxed mac n' cheese)

So no I do not have a job. Yes, I do spend my husband's paycheck, but I spend the majority of it on things we need and bills. I'm just so sick of being the insignificant housewife that "does nothing".

Also, I would like to add...

This is not my choice. If it were up to me, I would be out there earning a paycheck just like my husband. I lost my job at Walmart for personal reasons and finding a job since has been difficult for various reasons.

Regardless, I am not not what people think I am and it hurts me to know that they feel this way.
