Scenario 1: What do you do?....
ahh nothing....
I am just a housewife.
Scenario 2.
Hello Mrs Sharma, so what do you do?
The husband pitches in... nothing really.. she is just a housewife.
Can you relate to this?
Hi, I am Ruchi Singh from Ruchisinghtalks.
I own my life and I help others to own theirs.
It will mean a lot to me if you can subscribe to my RuchiSinghTalks on Youtube, Instagram, Facebook,
and Twitter.
All the links are in the description below.
You just have to type RuchiSinghTalks.
Let's jump into it.
A lot of people connect with me for advice both business or personal.
In the last 10 ten days, 4 women connected with me and they had one thing in common...
they all said they were "just" a house wife... in a slightly embarrassed tone, few gave me
reasons too as to why they were a housewife.
I actually was working on a different video but I felt so angry on their behalf that I
had to make this video.
I dedicate this video to all the housewives all over the world.
Why is it that these capable, beautiful women feel that they have to give an explanation
to me or anyone as to why they are a housewife?
Why do they feel embarrassed, awkward or defensive because they are a housewife.
I know, I know... now the politically correct term is homemaker but our mindset is still
the same... when someone says she is a home maker/house wife we have some preconceived
notions in our mind which leads us to believe that
Housewife/Homemaker = not valuable, not contributing.
How many of you watching this video has at-least once asked their mom or their wife this question
"What do you do the whole day??"
And when asking the question have automatically decided that
the answer is "nothing".
I am embarrassed; no ashamed to say that I have asked this question to my mom.
Thankfully ages back when I was a very young girl but I was also guilty of this.
My mom is so so so accomplished.
Her sheer selflessness and love for all of us is invaluable.
However, I will still share just two examples to make a point about the contributions of
"just a housewife".
She is a brilliant manager.
My father was an Army Officer.
He is retd now.
Every two years we shifted.
Who do you think managed the entire process of packing the entire household, getting it
labeled in the most effective manner, ensuring that the most urgently needed things will
be handy at a moments notice, guiding my dad to get the stuff loaded in the right order
and getting the entire home setup in as smooth a manner as possible at our new home?
Taking care of our emotional needs because it is tough to leave your Friends and make
new friends again and again.
My mom did.
Every two years.
Believe me it is not a very easy thing to manage.
I have just shared few of the steps which went in moving houses every two years sometimes
to the remotest of locations.
I have handled transition in my corporate avatar.
Transition managers are considered to be highly skilled people who get paid quite well for
their experience.
So, if I have to put it in corporate lingo... my mom was a transition manager and a brilliant
one at that.
The only difference is that I got a leadership excellence award for my work and mom got nothing.
This is just one example.
I will share one more, I was staying in a hostel while doing my graduation.
My final term papers for my final year were starting in a day or two.
I had very high fever, so I got very nervous about the exams.
I called up home crying and said I wanted to drop that year don't want to sit for the
exams and come back home.
My usually soft mom got very tough and I will remember my whole life what she told me that
day.
She said in Hindi "We don't run away from a problem scared.
We face it with all we have.
I am absolutely ok if you fail but you are going to sit for your exams.
If you run away this time, you will get in the habit of running away and that is not
acceptable."
I am glad she was tough that day...
I passed, but more importantly I realized that running away from a fear or a problem
is not an answer.
That attitude has helped me all my life.
So, I can call my mom a motivational speaker/ personal adviser... can't I.
The list of her contributions are long and invaluable but she is "just" a house wife.
I request everyone who is listening to this video.... take out 10 minutes from your life
and sit down and write down the contributions of "just a housewife" in your life.
She can be your mom, your wife, sister.
And share it with them.
Why... because they deserve it.
They deserve the acknowledgement of their contributions which go beyond monetary contributions.
They deserve the respect and support.
They deserve to know that they are valued.
I am sharing some data from various researches which have tried to convert the contributions
of a "just a housewife" to real numbers.
In reality just a housewife's contribution is not only in emotional sphere but in concrete
monetary terms too.
And finally this .... can anyone put a number to this??
I don't think so.... it is priceless.
And my request to all you beautiful, accomplished housewives or homemaker is....
Never sound embarrassed or defensive about being a housewife.
Your contributions are valuable, you are valuable and even if nobody realizes it, acknowledges
it or gives you credit.... you give yourself credit for doing so much day in day out without
having the hope of a promotion, rewards or a salary hike.
If some one is actually rude enough to ask what your contribution is... you give them
your best look, give them a smile... look at them and say.... darling...
I would have told you but you know what... you cannot afford me.
This world treats us the way we treat ourself.
So, value yourself, respect yourself and most importantly love yourself.
My mom is just a housewife and by God... she is brilliant at it.
Home is not home without her.
