Women are so confused these days, that you have to explain the simplest things. A Stay-At-Home Wife is expected to take care of the house, including tasks such as doing the laundry and cleaning the toilet. All of them. 100%, not 50%. But, anyone living alone also has to do these things, so this should be familiar, right?
These are “responsibilities,” but they are not a “job.” By this I mean, that you are not expected to act busy for eight hours a day cleaning the toilet, as you would if you had a toilet-cleaning job. You can just do it, in five minutes, and then go do something else that you like to do. In other words, just like living alone.
I actually think that many young women are terrified that, if they get married, they would spend eight hours a day doing housecleaning. Obviously, women are stupid. That’s one reason why we keep them at home to do simple things. When you have small children, you can end up with a lot of things to do. But even so, except for cooking, it is hard to imagine that housekeeping can take more than an hour a day, unless you stretch it out (as many women like to do).
Cooking is fun, so cooking for several hours a day is also a kind of fun. The Stay At Home Wife is also responsible for washing the dishes. All of them. But, you can delegate some of this work to the children as they become old enough — especially the girls. Not your husband.
A Stay At Home Wife without children typically has so much free time, even after all the cooking and cleaning, that she is considered a Woman Of Leisure. This is the normal state during the Empty Nest period, after 50 when the children are out of the house. You can go have a career then if you want, since you have so much time free. But many women don’t. You can just take it easy.
