Apparently, I am a Retrohousewife!!!

They say now it's the return of the housewives. First there were women who married early, had kids and when the kids were older went to work outside. Then came the supermoms who are trying to balance work and home. Now it's time for retrohousewives. That's right. These are women who have education and a career which they give up after having kids later in life. They postpone marriage and kids for the sake of career and then they give up their career to be with their families. Now you may call that having the cake and eating it too.

It's been a year since I have been without a job. Surprisingly I am enjoying the free time. Now I am thinking maybe I shouldn't go back to full time employment in the IT industry. It's hard to manage both home and work. It's cool to stay at home. There are so many things to do, so much to learn. I believe that for some of us girls who take up professional course and join the workforce we begin to think and act like guys. Some even dress like guys. I think sometimes we don't explore our feminine side. I mean earlier women who stayed at home were adept at cooking different items, making jams and pickles at home, making embroidery and knitting sweaters, making beautiful mehendi, rangoli and the rest. Women with jobs may have these skills but no time to enjoy them.
So I think I am going to learn some skills that I haven't in all these years.
