My grandmothers and my mother brought me along to be a homemaker and while I largely ignored it early on to work, I found that I couldn't squelch the female instinct to "nest" and let the man pull the weight.
And to the woman who wanted to deck the mouthy crow for insulting her as a "do nothing" homemaker, I'll tell you my husband is fast, but I don't think he's quick enough to stop me from clawing her eyes out! Homemaking isn't hard if you're well organized, but if you don't have a clue what is involved in making it look easy (undoubtedly like the mouthy one) it can be many times harder than a 9 to 5! Homemaking is a 24/7/365!
