Question

Mummy always says to outsiders, “I don’t work. I am a housewife.” But I see her working non-stop all the time. If what she does is not work, what else is work?

Answer 1

What she does is also work, but it is considered work in our male-dominated society since it has nothing to do with earning money. Men typically work less than women, but their employment is valued because it involves working outside and earning money. Housewives are considered to be unemployed because money is not involved in their work. This mindset is quite outdated and has to change. Women's efforts should be valued equally with their own.
