Homemaking tip:

Get dressed and ready everyday. When I treat homemaking as an actual job, with a loose schedule and uniform, it helps me to really focus on my tasks and to see the value in them. I personally no longer wear leggings, I prefer to only wear skirts and dresses, that has become my uniform and I feel more productive when wearing it.

As someone who recently has become a mother, I can say that it does take sacrifice- but in my experience it’s nothing like what many people seem to think it is.

The only hobby I’ve had to give up (temporarily) is doing theater- which I was already taking a break from during pregnancy. I still garden, paint, bake, sing, write, etc. The way I do those things is simply modified.

My life looks different now and I’ll admit I’m fortunate to stay home, but my life is far more restful now that I am a mother. I no longer can rush through my day and have an endless to do list. I am forced to slow down, to rest and take In life. I am more mindful of the activities I do, and the manner in which I do them. I am more careful with my time, and appreciate my day more than I did before.

My husband and I still go on dates, we just have a tiny and adorable third wheel. We have to be more intentional about the time we spend with each other, and the way we communicate, but I feel more connected to him than I ever have.

I recognize that mother good is hard, and that women need support. What we as a society need is to be reconnected to our so-called ‘villages’. Mother hood is not a task meant to be completed alone, new and seasoned mothers are meant to be surrounded by family and friends who assist and guide them. Women should not be coerced into choosing their children or putting food on the table, and they shouldn’t be taught that a career is all that brings value.

Motherhood sounds genuinely awful though. You can no longer follow any other life goals, you have to give up all your hobbies, and you have to lose 98% of your entire personality to conform with other families.

I believe that’a kind of a sexist and narrow minded view of mothers, but it’s true that parenthood comes with a lot of sacrifices not everyone wants to make. It is up to each individual whether or not they engage in reproductive activity and risk pregnancy, or keep the baby afterwards. Society needs to do better at creating a safe and stable support system for mothers; we have failed in that area

Motherfucking Alphonse and Edward Elric:

(for legal reasons this is a joke and I love the stupid derpy faces they have in the manga)

Homemaking tip:

Make your bed first thing in the morning, open up your curtains/blinds, and open the window if weather allows (even if it’s not great weather ideally you should have all the windows in the house open for at least five minutes). This is cliche advice, but it truly does make a difference. It automatically makes the room look cleaner, and gives you the signal that it’s time to start the day.

I’m at a hair appointment right now, my fiancé knows I’m super stressed out about decorating for Christmas and deep cleaning the kitchen. This morning he helped my mom bring in all of the Christmas decorations and wrapping paper, and was cleaning the kitchen when I left. I didn’t ask him to do either of those things, he saw a need, realized it would help the woman he loves, and stepped up to take care or it.

It’s so ridiculous that feminists act like you can appreciate and care for your hardworking man by cleaning up and cooking for him, but he can break his back doing manual labor around the house while also working a full time blue collar job.

I’m going to cook him a lovely dinner tonight and probably give him a back massage, not because I’m obligated to, but because I love him and he has made my day much less stressful.

Intellectually lazy to pretend cooking and cleaning for someone else for the rest of your life isn’t slavery. This is literally taking us back to the dark ages when men used us as property because we are worthless in their eyes - that’s what trad men think of you. They don’t think you’re a cute lovely to-be wife. They think of you as potential property. It’s fucking gross.. why would you want to slave away for someone for the rest of your life (call it love all you want, but real love isn’t fucking domestic chores lmfao) meanwhile they 1. think of you as just another thing they own 2. Won’t lift a finger to help you - so really questioning this “love” you speak of since only women “love” by cleaning up after someone else.. cus the majority of men don’t give a fuck about you or how they live. Theyd live in dirty ass trap houses with a single tv and couch and be happy as long as they have a wall to fuck.

Me, preemptively solving the "Alastor is too weirdly affectionate in this AU" by being like Vox trained that man to do that

Alastor: I'm not going to think to do things like kiss you on my own, dear

Vox: (immediately trains Alastor to recognize a certain expression as "time to kiss the picture box!") No problem, I got this

One day I'm going to have to use that you could get buried in, but these will have to do for now.

House wife tip:

If you are a stay at home wife, try greeting your husband at the door when he comes home from work, and seeing him off with a kiss when he leaves in the morning. It is a game changer for mood!

I like to freshen up when he lets me know he’s on his way home, then I greet him at the door with a smile and a kiss. I’ve noticed a big improvement in his mood after work, especially since he’s only home a short time before he goes to his second job.

Homemaking tip:

After dinner, take 10-15 minutes to clean up the kitchen and table. Wipe down the counters, clean up any spills on the stove, rinse out the sink, load the dishwasher, etc. I personally like to vacuum the rug and sweep the kitchen as well, then light a candle and “put the kitchen to bed”.

It makes such a difference coming into a clean kitchen in the morning, and makes it easier to keep it clean throughout the day. When I’m doing this I just need to do a deep clean once a week!
