Juggling between work and home management is a difficult task but stay-mom makes it look very easy.
There is a common notion that stay-home moms are lazy. But have you asked yourself who gets all the house chores done perfectly when you wake up and go to your fancy offices?
It is the stay-home mom who plans, organises and executes every task in the home. Sometimes, they even prepare ahead of your meeting by washing and ironing your apparel and wake up early enough to be on time.
Being a stay-home mother can be a job full-time without a salary and or the respect it should come with. Low self-esteem can set in when she has to beg her husband for money to fix her hair and sew dresses for her outings.
Say no to idleness, get a hustle-free job, be a superhero for your kids and pamper yourself with gifts.
