I finished my work last month, so I am a housewife now.
I was not good at doing house chores, therefore I didn’t do much although I lived by myself from 18 to 24 years old.
It was not because I’m a moon rider, but just a lazy person. hahaha.
After I started living with Jeff 4 years ago, I needed to work late especially in my last job.
So Jeff often did house chores for night.
And he prepared for breakfast since I could not wake up early..
But after finishing my job, I changed to a morning person!
Make breakfast, prepare for Jeff’s bento (lunch), do laundry, wash dishes before noon.
In the afternoon, I go grocery shopping and cook before he comes home.
I am just a regular housewife now.:)
When I was working, I didn’t have enough time to think about what to cook everyday.
Therefore I almost always bought same foods and cooked same dishes.
But now I have plenty of time, so love to go grocery shopping and think what I should cook today and tomorrow.
In Japan, there is a saying:
“If you want to get a man, get his stomach (=be good at cooking).”
Like other guys, Jeff loves to eat too.
We even had a fight for 100 JPY chocolate breads before. hahaha.
So now I’m so happy to see his happy face when eating my cooks, and feel that being a housewife is not that bad.
Since I changed a lot, he often says
“Take it easy. You will get stressed soon.” haha.
Well, I don’t know how long it lasts, however I will enjoy this housewife life.
