Guest guest Posted November 9, 1999 Report Share Posted November 9, 1999 Note: forwarded message attached. ===== and (congential neutropenia, hypogammaglobulinemia, chronic sinusitis and leukopenia) mom to Evan 6, 4 and Abby Rose 2 **Just a Housewife** Here is my job description: I am a wife, mother, confidante, personal adviser, lover, referee, peacemaker, housekeeper, laundress, chauffeur, interior decorator, gardener, painter, wall paperer, dog groomer, veterinarian, manicurist, barber, seamstress, appointment manager, financial planner, bookkeeper, money manager, personal secretary, teacher, disciplinarian, entertainer, psychoanalyst, nurse, diagnostician, public relations expert, dietician and nutritionist, baker, chef, fashion coordinator and letter writer for both sides of the family. I am also a travel agent, speech therapist, plumber, automobile maintenance and repair expert. From studies done, it would cost over $75000 to replace me. I took time out of my busy day to write this letter, because there are still ignorant people who believe that a housewife is nothing more than a baby-sitter who sits on her behind all day and watches soap-operas. If I could afford to pay someone to do all that I do, I would be delighted to go back to working an eight hour day with an hour for lunch and two 15-minute breaks. What do I get out of my job in the absence of a salary? Joy, happiness, hugs, kisses, smiles, love, self-respect and pride in knowing that I have done a full day's work to ensure the physical and emotional well being of those I love. Now, if you still want to classify me as " just a housewife " , go ahead!
