Choosing to be a homemaker is never easy as it sounds. Moreover, to be a
perfect homemaker, a lot goes into the equation. The job of a homemaker comes
with a baggage of responsibilities – from looking after household to looking
after kids, from shopping groceries to laundry, from dusting to cooking; the
list can go on and on, unending.
Grown up with the condition that house is the first domain than the
careers, women strive to be perfect homemakers. If it is your conscious choice
to be a homemaker then you are well for it, heading on. However, demanding
situation compels some unlucky women to become homemakers. Whatever the case
is, the transition is tough. However, things have to change for a bigger start
of something. As a first step, let us grab the opportunity knocking at our
door.
Here are seven tips to become a perfect homemaker:
Every woman’s dream is to have a perfect home. A point well understood,
it is only a woman who can bring up her family in the best possible way.
Homemaking is not a rocket science. It is a learned skill and when practiced
religiously can give tremendous result over time. Go for it!
1. Initiate the
drive:
Take charge of all the responsibilities. Do not hesitate or fear.
Apply the skills you have learned during your childhood watching your mother
work. When she can manage without the luxury we are enjoying today, why can’t
we? Start with one small step each time.
2. A little of
planning is essential:
Managing is most importantly balancing between the priorities. You need
to tweak a little in your routine if you have to focus on one activity. Have a
schedule for every week. Maybe, Sundays can be used for that extra cleaning and
dusting.
3. Always find time
for yourself:
You need to be motivated every day and the enthusiasm has to reflect in
your work. To be so, you need to find out some time for yourself. Enjoy your
time. It may be reading a novel or watching your favourite soap operas, or even
catching up with your friend. Become your own inspiration.
4. Work on your
passion and hobbies:
Recollect your good old childhood days and figure out what you loved the
most. Maybe painting, or sketching or dancing or singing or cooking. Enroll
yourself for the classes. Learning not only keeps you energized, it helps you
reach your destiny faster than you have imagined. After all, with the lessons
you learnt while managing your house, family, and kids, you now have patience
and maturity.
5. Rather than
depending on others, be with yourself:
When you expect any compliment, you can never get one, especially from
our loved ones. Such little matters most for you. Do not let it you down.
Hence, be with yourself and do not forget to treat yourself for the wonderful
lunch you prepared. You have achieved something great! Look good and feel good
about yourself.
6. Team up with
your family members:
Delegate responsibility to your partner and share the household with
your grown up kids. Even toddlers can be of great help if we discipline them.
Stick on to the family rules. Do not let anyone overrule your emotions. Be
smart and get your work done.
7. Keep learning
new things and let be the spark:
Routine is something that sucks for women who generally spend most of
their time confined to the four walls of the house. Life of a homemaker
revolves around the family and hence boredom can hit anytime. Try your hands at
new things. Lucky some find their true calling and start their career. Let us
be one of those!
The world is yours and the choice is yours. Opportunities are
everywhere—waiting to be seized by you. Enjoy your share of joys being a
perfect homemaker
