- Poor Homemaking | Why we're bad homemakers
Sharing the reasons why were bad at homemaking
1. It wasn't modeled
2. We don't take it seriously
3. We don't try to improve in it
4. We don't admit that it's hard
Solution: We need to have a goal in mind. Why do we stay home?

THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED! My mom put into my head at a young age that I needed to be a strong independent woman who made my own money and didn’t depend on a man. She was a SAHM in an abusive marriage and hated all of it.. cleaning, cooking (we mainly ate prepared meals from the store or frozen foods) all of it. So I graduated college with big career goals, I felt like a strong independent woman. Got married the following year, baby the same year. Bam SAHM. I’m 4 years in and finally getting a grip on things. I love to cook, bake sourdough bread, the busy work of cleaning, home schooling my kiddos. I felt like I failed for so many years.
I think a lot of us feel that way. Being a SAHM is a lot harder than I thought it would be but we’re all learning. Hopefully we can pass some wisdom down to our kids. Thanks for sharing your story. ♥️
Beautiful life!
Same, my mom put the same thing in my head ! Also 4 years in and finally getting a grip on things but currently failing very badly this week, hope things get better. Much love ❤
Very similar for me but my mom always worked or had her own business. She still despises most men despite remarrying my dad and him being the breadwinner.
Me too. My mother acted like I was so much work and set her life back etc etc yet I feel the opposite for my 4 kids (and one on the way). I love this life
I think the hardest thing about homemaking for me is that I never clock out. 🤷♀️
I can choose to have a good attitude about it but the reality is it gets hard and draining because it's so 24/7.
I have intentionally scheduled all my children to nap at the same time during the day so I have a couple of hours of peace and quiet for myself. It really helps ❤️
💯 naps and scheduled bed time save my sanity. I don’t know what I would do without them.
I've done this. I've been so exhausted that I have had to decide between napping also or staying awake. Sometimes I fall asleep nursing my baby to sleep.
Yes!!! Naps! With my kids older now 9 6 and 5 it’s harder to get them to nap but every now and then all 3 will and it’s VERY NICE
Quiet playtime too. Like if they get up too early, they are allowed to play in their room quietly until x time when they can get up. You can also color a desk clock and if the arrow is in the "green" they can run around the house and get up, if it's in the red it's bedroom time..
Or if they are too old to nap, have it be a set playtime in their room.
There is not a day that goes by where I do not thank the Lord for his incredible GRACE. He is so patient with us (as are our husbands, I am sure hehe). New sub. xx
Amen! ♥️
My mom was a wonderful homemaker and mother. I just think it was always assumed i would be a working girl outside the home. I love being a home momma. I kind of used my moms examples and youtube mommas examples and women from church examples too.
I don’t know if this will help anyone. When my children were little, we played a game. It was called who did it the best? who did it the fastest? who did it the slowest? Each week each one of us had a new chore. Categories were vacuuming, dusting, washing floors, and yes, the dreaded bathroom, of course there was a kitchen clean up to. There was some type of award. It could be McDonald’s for lunch. Going to the park. Going to the library to pick out a favorite book. In the winter sledding. In the summer bike riding to a favorite park. As an adult, I think I have been on swings, slides, monkey bars, and the merry go round. The whole thing was a game. My grown boys can clean house way better than I can. And their wives think there awesome. My mom taught me this game. I have many wonderful memories cleaning the home with mom. Mom’s need to understand that their children will be better if they know how to have a nice tidy home. Can I honestly say that my house was the cleanest. Heck no, but it had some laughter long hours at McDonald’s, parks, libraries, and best of was snuggling on the couch with popcorn and a great movie.
I love this Cathy! This is great advice!
Very down to earth chat, thank you! The why is very important and also that we take ourselves seriously despite what society perceives of homemakers!
So glad in came across this video. Everything you said was on point! I’m so glad to see it’s not just me, sometimes we get down thinking we’re the only ones thinking there’s something “wrong with us” I had to start parenting myself and telling myself I’m not a failure and the perfect SAHM doesn’t exist. I now try to learn as much as I can and I keep a way better home then I used too. ❤
I wasn’t sure where this video would go, but I’m glad I clicked on it!.. Well said. I liked hearing this perspective, I always come across YT homemakers who don’t say this out loud. It’s hard, and makes me feel a tad bit bad that my day or even parts of it are not like theirs…but you said it, IT IS HARD(and thank you for saying the ugly out loud) for all the reasons you pointed out.. but you also turned it around and made me want to be better. Thank you. New sub.
Thank you so much! ♥️
Hi Daisy! I can agree that i am a Poor homemaker! I blame social media 😂 and lack of money 😂 honestly I never learned too cool and do laundry until I got married and I wish I was more organized and created a better community for my children! I wish I woke up and got dressed up everyday and cleaned my home, always have food ready and everything but reality is even if I am home I miss too many things! And once again as a SAHM I blame social media because damn phone is addictive
😂 it really is!!! I can scroll for hours and not even notice 🫠
Thx Daisy for encouraging the Mommas! My 7 children are all adults now. One new goal at a time is exactly right...don't overwhelm yourself and grace grace grace to all the dear sweet mommas ♥️
I just started my own channel and I wanted to view other channels and see how others do it and this video was it for me! Thank you for being so authentic!
I just found your channel! I loved this video! I have been a homemaker for almost 4 years now and I have learned so much and improved so much. There is always room to grow more and to learn new things😊 This was a very encouraging video
Thank you! I agree, there’s always room to grow and share that wisdom with others.
I love this video, Daisy. I couldn't agree more.
Wow no words how much this video touched my heart! Thank you so much for sharing this! ❤️
Thanks for watching! Glad it encouraged you ♥️
This was wonderful encouragement. The piece on discipling our kids hit home. Thank you so much!
I labeled each day of the week to make cleaning more fun.
Manic Mondays (errand day)
Toilet Tuesday (clean the bathrooms)
Wash Wednesday (laundry day)
Thursday (summer market day/ leftover errand day or baking day) I have no fun name for Thursday 😔
Floor Friday ( clean floors, dust, windows, clean appliances) Saturday is a day to spend with my fiance
Sunday day of rest (church and prep for the week)
I have chronic pain and it's really hard for me to get around clean and cook So I break up the tasks so I don't get overwhelmed. Prepping ingredients for cooking is also helpful. We don't have any kids and I expect my days to change and look different but having a model to build and adapt one day is helpful also I have ADHD so staying on task and shifting to different tasks is hard.
I love this idea! Do you write somewhere like a whiteboard in your house? Have you heard of block scheduling? That’s helped me stay on task. I have a video on that too
@@DaisyValdivia I make my own bullet journal so I can Taylor it to my ADHD. I also have a homemaker binder where I keep the schedule so anyone in the family can look stuff up. I also put medical info in there in case of emergency, pet info, coupons for fast food (still there if I want them but out of site so I won't use them) a list of birthdays and special dates like anniversaries. A list of addresses and phone numbers for family. One page for pass codes or passwords that anyone may need like to the wifi when the visit. There are a lot of home making binder videos on UA-cam it helped me a lot
@@meggo329 that is so great! I’ll have to look into that.
We have labeled days like this also. It works!!! It’s indented in my kids brains so I hope they take it with them in life. 🌻
Nailed it with this video!!! Tucking away to watch again later. 👏👏👏Well Done. 🌻
I've found we can also learn to love things we don't naturally excel at. I didn't learn anything homemaking wise growing up and absolutely did not like cleaning but now I've grown to love it and truly enjoy it (maybe not all the time, but generally!) Love this video Daisy. You have made so many good points & I relate to a lot of it as well.
Thank you ♥️ I completely agree that you can learn to love new things. Great point!
Loved this. Amen. We can definitely get lazy at doing the mundane but it's worth it for the Lord and my family. I definitely didn't come from a home with a model to follow. Everyone worked multiple jobs here. I grew up raising my baby brother and I think that where my love for raising kids came from. We are truly blessed to be able to raise our kids.
That is so amazing! You must be a great sister ♥️ It really is a blessing to be able to raise our children, I know my mom would have loved to stay home.
This is a great video!! I was blessed to have a mom who homeschooled us and was a great homemaker. My best friend’s mom was also a role model homemaker for me. We even did Keepers of the Home growing up (which I call Christian Girl Scouts lol). But I can see how it would be a huge struggle without that practice and knowledge ahead of time. And a reason why I want to include Maggie in everything now. My sister even said everyone (male or female, married or not) needs to know homemaking skills. It’s so true. You made so many great points. I love staying home so much! I feel there aren’t enough hours in the day to do all of the things I want to do and learn 😅
100%!! I teach my boys basic life skills because I don’t want them to be useless 😂
I’ve just found your channel today! ❤ I’ve recently started my own channel and I appreciate seeing videos like this so much! Great inspiration. I relate so well to most of what you’ve said in this video! ❤
Thank you so much!
Great video! Motivated me in my work as a classroom teacher. Goals are the key as well as working as unto the Lord. I'm enjoying all your videos.
Thank you so much Diana ♥️
I loved this! Just found ur channel, and totally needed to hear that we need to view our roles as a job, that mindset really helps me personally but I often need reminders
I think we all do ♥️
Thank you for this! ❤
This was such an uplifting and encouraging video! Thank you ❤
Thank you for saying that. I’m really glad it encouraged you ♥️
Amen and Amen! My story is like yours! My mom taught me about Jesus which was the best thing she could do. She was too busy to spend a lot of time with me and how to be a home maker because she frankly just couldn’t be one. She still to this day works outside the home.
It’s a process and a journey for me. I’m a mother to ten and it’s still learning but the good news is we have so many platforms to connect and inspire each other. ❤
Thank you for sharing! ❤
Yes! So very true! A mom to ten! What a blessing ♥️
Excellent video! 👏
I love the one new recipe a week goal!
You talking about getting paid reminds me of Dave Ramsey saying if you were the CEO of U corporation would you hire you. Or something along those lines 😂 I loved your perspective of this. I think the fact that you see so many women going back to the home and learning “olden” skills shows how important these things are
I love that question!! I probably wouldn’t hire me. 😂 jk!!
You are absolutely right about it was not modeled to us. We almost missed that window when we can easily learn things as a child and it is so much harder to learn as an adult.
It really is! It’s hard to break those habits.
Great perspective on homemaking! I couldn't agree more regarding not being raised to be a homemaker. I can completely relate to this and makes one feel as not having the skills to being a good homemaker.
Glad you enjoyed it! I think a lot of us feel that way. It’s definitely been a process for me.
I enjoyed watching.i love this video so much,you really spoke so much wisdom..I learnt something new..
Thank you ♥️
Amazing video ❤
I can't say thank you enough for this video and your words of encouragement. I was born in '87, and also grew up in a home where both my parents were full time workers, I had the TV and snacks lol. I was never shown any homemaking skills...at all. I am now a wife and mother of 2 children, and am blessed to have a husband that is a fantastic provider and leader so that I'm able to be a homemaker mama. I have been diving into these types of videos learning how to master this mindset...or at least try to. Your video has been one of the only ones that has accurately described my feelings and struggles! Thank you so much, I just subscribed and can't wait to watch more of your videos!
I’m so glad it’s helped!! Thank you for the encouragement ♥️
Thank you this is a true and inspiring
Everything you said about your childhood was my childhood as well!! The TV was my baby sitter...yes!! Lol This is why I started my channel, because I learned everything I know about homemaking almost through youtube videos. I wanted to give back, and if I could help in any way I wanted to do that. I was actually just going to do a video on this very topic. Lol I loved everything you said! You touched on everything that's been in my heart. Thank you for sharing!!! ♥️♥️♥️🫶
I love that!! I really enjoy your videos so I’m glad you did it. I’m glad this has encouraged you ♥️
@Daisy Valdivia Awe!! I'm so glad you enjoy my videos! 🥰 I definitely enjoy yours, and your cooking ones are quickly becoming my favorite! We have the same goal, and it is really encouraging and motivating to keep going.
Thank you for this xxxxxx
Omg I just saw this video, and I'm watching it on a day where I feel really down about this. Lol. I'm gonna edit as the video goes on.
It IS a job. And sometimes it's a pain. It never ends too, it's 24 hours. It's cooking, cleaning, homeschooling, then more of the same.
Can you tell I'm not in a good mood lol
I do agree it's important to try to improve our homemaking skills. I want to be a better homeschooling mom, for example. I notice that she does really well with tests and quizzes (As and Bs) but when we do reviews, she completely forgets them. So, I feel like maybe I'm not doing it well enough.
Lol yeah managing a household is hard! I saw the kitchen sink when I woke up and it was just piles of dishes. It was suddenly overwhelming for me, like wait, I didn't clean these last night? But I always do! But it's also 8 am, I need to get started with school. But wait, I didn't wake up early enough to make breakfast! Aaaahh
Thanks for video, I felt like a friend was encouraging me. 😊
I’m glad it encouraged you. And I always joke that I’m mad at past Daisy for leaving me so much work in the morning 😂 🫠
You’re doing a great job! I think we all feel that way from time to time.
I love this!!! And yes, I grew up in a home that didn't teach me how to be a mom and some days our meals were microwave warm up dishes. I'm now 47 and trying my best to teach my girls and the younger women in my life.
That's awesome! They are so blessed to have you.
When I look back I realize how wonderful of a Homemaker my mom was. I did not know what Homemaking was but I disagree my mom taught me by teaching us what was important. Some people may not have been taught. However I watched my mom without her saying a word. I think it depends on the era we lived in. Great video!
Love this video so much. I think another reason why we can be poor homemakers is the fact that we don’t always seek wisdom for the Lord. Proverbs 24:3-4 NKJV says “Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established; By knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches.” As you said, homemaking ultimately glorifies God and also serves our family and others, which is why it’s so important for us to seek wisdom and knowledge even in skill building as homemakers. I can testify that when I first started homemaking, I was horrible at it. Mostly because I saw it with a more mundane perspective. When I started to seek help and wisdom through reading the Bible and praying, my perspective definitely shifted. Although homemaking can still be hard, I’ve enjoyed my role even more because above everything else, I’m homemaking to bring glory and honor to the Lord.
I love seeing homemaking in our generation making a rise again. Thanks for sharing this video. Definitely helped pinpoint some things I should pray about improving in my life.
Yes!! Love that verse, you are so right. This is such a good conversation to continue to have. I think what you shared ties into discipleship. We really need that more in the church. We can learn so much from older women.
Cynthia your comment is on point! I couldn't agree more!
Love this! Great discussion. I chose to be a homemaker 13 years ago after our 3rd child was born. I never saw it as a privilege as we sacrificed A LOT for me to be here to manage our home and raise our children; something that I think goes along with your point of homemaking being hard. Part of the hard for us is the lack of a second income. But the Lord has always provided for our needs as we've followed him into this lifestyle. We may not have everything we want, but we always have what we need. Being on the opposite end with our kids now leaving the nest, I don't regret a single second of the sacrifice and would do it again in a heart beat. May the Lord strength all of you as you invest in your family, and if you're considering it may you be bold in following the Lord's leading ❤
I love the wisdom you shared. I really enjoy hearing from moms whose kids are grown and can share some insight. It is a sacrifice but you’re right, well worth it.
Wonderful 😊
Great video
Me in leggings and a sweatshirt listening to this lol
But seriously thank you for the encouragement! My mom was a single mom and the same way, just trying to survive so now I'm trying to start from scratch a different way to love and invest in them. Thank you!
You are completely right about all of this. Especially the part about feeling guilty when my husband offers for me to go have some time to myself, because I think I'm so lucky to be home, I got to be home all day... but it is SO TRUE that homemaking is HARD. I am so busy and not just with tasks but the mental load of actively engaging with my chatty toddler, plus like you said, actively discipling him, doing scripture memory, talking thru what I'm doing in the kitchen so that he LEARNS things throughout the day. It's exhausting. But I also love it and so I feel like why should I need a break from this?? I love cooking so why should we "waste" money on takeout once in awhile? Meanwhile I'm burnt out 😂. And I'd never put two and two together until you said it but the guilt I feel is because subconsciously I've been feeling like homemaking isn't hard. Well, it IS hard.
Yes!! 👏 It’s hard and it’s good. Both can be true ♥️
I love this video. Ive primarily been SAhm for 12 years mostly because my hubs and i are trad and we had special needs children to care for. However even tho i became a mom at 18 it was definitely difficult at first i didnt know how to be a homemaker truly my mom was a single hard working mom out side of the house as a manager and while im grateful for her hard work i wish i would been taught the homemaking skills now as my children grow im able model that thru discipleship while homeschooling as you shared. So right that our generation was geared more to being independent career women and not domestic. Its caused a lot of confusion and guilt and tons of unsolicited comments like you said you cant win they will make comments about your having a part time job is not good as a mom nor is staying home . Im torn on if staying home is a luxury it was a necessity for us but i found it to be my vocation . I know some cant and some can everyone is so different. Love the thoughts you shared Daisy
So true! I definitely think for a lot of women it’s a sacrament to live on one income. I love that you’re teaching your own children. I think it’s so important to pass those things on. ♥️
Can i just i like your table :) and you make some good points thanks for putting this out here. I think ive found another mom creator to follow
Yes, 100% correct. Homemaking is great work, we continue to learn all the time how to do it better. The learning curve never ends. We make it a safe and wonderful place for our family. I'm in my 70's, and I have been at this my entire life. My tasks have not changed, maybe a few more have been added even.
I love that!! It’s a life long career ♥️:)
The view of homemaking from those who work is often that we are just sitting around having personal relaxation time. I think this is why so many young women and old feel they need to document their work on a youtube channel. I see it as a great way to see yourself doing housework so in a sense that's a way to teach yourself how to do it and to remind yourself and your let's say hubby that you work hard every day. I had a mother who kicked me out of the kitchen as well and when I needed her the most at 11-adult she worked but before that she was at home. I was neglected and a neglectful mother is not good no matter how you slice it and her home was perfect all the time so we all gotta trust God and let him guide our thoughts so we can do better in being there for our kids. Perfect is doing your best. Thank you for this.
Oh and stay at home women / moms need time to regather.. sit and think. Thinking we have to go 24/7 without breaks in order to be good is a lie from hell. The next time your bread winner or someone who works hard out in the cruel world says something a little off, be kind to them even though they will say things that hurt our confidence. Just remember they are probably working in a hostile or dirty environment both emotionally and sometimes downright dirty. It seems they are shaming us for getting to be in the comfort of our own home. Just remind them that someone has to restore and keep the comforts of your home. Tell them you are keeping the home fires burning for them to have a retreat to come home to and that includes our loving and good attitude. Love covers a multitude of sins.
Yes!! Love all this ♥️
this made me think a lot. Whenever I tell the story of why I am a stay-at-home mom to people, i always say it's because day care was so expensive when my oldest was born. That may have been a factor in the decision at the time, but it hasn't been the reason for almost a decade. My kids are 8 and 5 now. They wouldn't even be in day care. I am a homemaker because i feel called to it in my heart. Because it is important to me and my family. I should use those words when people ask me about it, and not just jump to the first thing in my brain, which is day care costs.
So well said. I think sometimes it’s easier to say things like that for me as well and I think it diminishes our role as homemakers. Love how you said it, it is important ♥️
Dude I am so burnt out after a week of work. Tired of doing it all alone. Don't find the value in it anymore or joy. Where's our homemaking retreat cuz I need to go away and be in her nervous someone's wing. ❤ 😅😅 😊 So have you put this video out here because I actually googled why am I so bad at home making and came across your video. I am so burnt out.
My family are from Central America so I fortunately had an example to follow, my mom worked as well, but she is very particular. we learned a lot just from watching her. laziness was not an option! I grew up in the 80s and 90s
I'm just watching this. And you said that it wasn't modeled. Your mom would get home from work and want you out of the kitchen. I almost at home mom and I have had the kids get out of the kitchen many times! So for me to hear that, that was conviction because I am like that now. I want them out of the kitchen. I don't want them messing with things. I don't want to be at 6,000 questions. I don't want to be called again. My kids have told me that they want to learn how to cook. And I want to teach them. But I feel like I use that time to relax and breathe.
I have them straightening up or playing or whatever. And when they come in out tiny kitchen and start bothering or asking so many questions, i have them leave. I need to do better
It’s hard, I completely understand. I encourage you to start small. Just do one two days a month and build from there. Or do one kid at a time and have them take turns so it’s more manageable. I completely understand about how it can be stressful having them in there. I see teaching them cooking as a completely separate thing from my regular cooking. I have to be in the right mind set for that.
I’m so happy for you
Sadly I think it is true society does view homemaking that way. I worked as a maid for years and my job is SO much harder now lol!! I've never been so busy & tired as I am now! 😅❤
Yup! Even when I was a full time nanny it wasn’t this hard. I got to leave at the end of the day 😂
My dad always said (born 1911): "Make a home". For the past 30+ years, everyone forgot what this means (big women's lib push). I am happy to hear the pendulum is swinging the other way and young women are embracing being SAHM over career and materialism. You will see depression, drug use in youth, suicide, etc. drop I believe. Hopefully, this time we will acknowledge just how valuable women at home are. A place of comfort, family meals and family time. Perhaps having to be home with the pandemic has helped women realize it is good to be there for your family. Not all families can survive on one income, but I truly believe with a woman who takes this as a job and is budget conscious and crafty, it can be done. I fell into the lib era and became an engineer, but no job made me happier, felt more creative and was more satisfying satisfied than my home job.
Very relatable Daisy!! I definitely wish I was a better homemaker! Lots does come naturally to me - and I do enjoy being a stay at home mom. But I am not very good these days doing anything above and beyond with homemaking. Sometime I feel that it only the task that I need to do to survive (cook, clean, & laundry!).
Haha. I feel the same way. Sometimes we are just in survival season, and that’s ok.
Love your video!
Philippians 4:13❤
I taught my son all the basics, he was doing his own laundry by age 12. Today at age 31 he loves to cook and is an expert grocery shopper! 😊
I think my biggest struggle is balancing the home making with the child caring, pet caring, husband caring and self caring!!! 😅🙃 it’s a lot!!! We don’t have family close by bc we chose to move to a more beautiful & relaxed state, which IS better for our mental health, but everything just falls on me. So somethings inevitably fall behind…. Hubby is busy with priority #1 - his career which helps provide us with food, shelter, etc…. I think and hope as the kids get older, things will calm down for us.
Definitely! I think the younger years are the most hectic.
I like your video but the sound is really too low. You might want to use a microphone to increase it a bit. :)
On point! Me to a T.
I have 4 kids including and infant and we homeschool. I focus on dishes and cooking everyday on top of schoolwork. Everything else is where it gets hsrd 😢 i dont make my kids do enough though.
Nah you get to watch TV and eat snacks after you've already done everything else. And it's okay to give yourself days off. I normally make my day off his day off , I still cook but that's my main task other thank kids.
I didn't have a mom growing up. My dad raised me and my brother. I did periodically see my mom growing up, but not much, and I never felt like I was hers; I always felt like an outsider with her. My dad raised me to be independent and he instilled in me how bad it is to have to rely on a man, and he always told me to put a career first. I am currently a SAHM, and struggling.
I think a lot of us were raised that way because of what our parents experienced. It’s really hard to change decades of something that was taught to you. It will take time to adjust.
I was raised in a ‘not realising it was my mums Christian beliefs’ homemaking home.
Mum worked part time night shifts as a nurse, however she did I’ll say 85-90% of the homemaking as dad worked long hours.
Our home was near enough immaculate and everything was done on a schedule, however we weren’t really taught as kids what to do as she did everything.
I’m now in my 30s with 2 children, I work part time and I’m a really rubbish homemaker and just want to be better at it.
The children deserve better, I deserve better and God deserves better from me.
Amen!
I feel guilty leaving also. My husband has to me to go. And an hour plus later, he was still telling me to go.
There was a time that I went out but i called so much. My husband told me to drop calling.
I had a girl tell me that it was a luxury for me to. Clearly, she had no idea what she was saying. This is such a luxury that we are struggling and the ends are not meeting. But I know that this is what I am to do and I know this is my call from God. So anything else would be in disobedience. where is the luxury ?
That’s funny because I had someone say to me they could never stay home they rather work because staying home with the kids was too hard. I think the right word is a privilege because not everyone can stay home but it is hard work. I’ve thought about getting a job so I can get a break lol
But why do we need to be Christian to help others? We are not a religious household and I cook for others, help watch their kids, join in the community but with no church at the centre. Non-religious households can be good people too
I didn’t mean to imply that they couldn’t. I do believe that non-Christian’s also do this.
Been homemaking for almost 23 years but got harder as I had children in my 30s then I set my career aside and stayed home
You talked about doing work at home is not valued enough and all the tasks could be done by someone else who gets paid - even if they worked only part time for a familiy look how much "value" that would be:
nanny / tutor: 1.000 $
personal cook: 1.000 $
driver: 500 $
laundry service: 500 $
cleaning service: 500 $
...
Homemaking is at least worth 4.000 $ a month :-)
Yes!!! Love that you broke it down 👏
I'm still at home til my kids grow more and are little less independent then I return to work phew.
Why is the idea of being a good homemaker have to be tied to religion. Why can’t I find a single homemaking video without religious context. I loved your video don’t get me wrong, but why do videos like this have to be tied to religious to backgrounds.
I’m not sure. I’m a Christian so my worldview will always be influenced by that, I can’t separate the two. If I had to guess I would say it’s because culturally homemaking is no longer considered a valued skill. It’s considered a very “traditional” role and often time tradition is tied down with faith. It’s a very interesting discussion.
Marriage, and all that it entails, is a VOCATION, not a job. There’s a world of difference.
I’m so happy to see channels like this popping up and growing. It’s a good point that so much of these things have not been modeled for so many people. May God reward your work here. 🤎
Yes! So true 👏
