Found this on social media and felt it was worth sharing.
“My Wife Doesn’t Work.”
A man sat across from a psychologist.
“What do you do for a living?”
“I’m an accountant at a bank.”
“And your wife?”
“She doesn’t work. She’s just a housewife.”
The psychologist nodded.
“Who makes breakfast in your home?”
“My wife.”
“What time does she wake up?”
“Around 5 a.m. She cleans the house first.”
“How do your children get to school?”
“She takes them.”
“And after that?”
“She goes to the market, cooks, washes clothes, cleans the house.”
The man paused, then added,
“But she doesn’t work.”
The psychologist leaned forward.
“When you return home from the office, what do you do?”
“I rest. I’m exhausted.”
“And your wife?”
“She cooks dinner. Serves the kids. Serves me. Washes dishes. Cleans again. Puts the children to bed.”
Silence.
“So,” the psychologist asked,
“Who do you think works more?”
Her day begins before sunrise.
Her day ends after everyone sleeps.
No salary.
No weekends.
No sick leave.
No applause.
And yet we say, “She doesn’t work.”
A housewife doesn’t need a degree or a title,
but her role holds the entire family together.
When she’s quiet, her mind is carrying everything.
When she looks at you, she wonders why love still survives being taken for granted.
When she says, “I’ll stand by you,” she means it—with her whole life.
Never underestimate her.
Never take her for granted.
Never forget her worth.
Dedicated to all women.
A woman is like salt.
You don’t notice her presence—
until she’s gone, and everything loses its taste.
