In today’s day and age, housewives rarely seem to get the respect they deserve in this country. Though they get no paycheck, they are working tirelessly 24 hours seven days a week to take care of their husbands and children as well as the family home itself.

An exchange between a doctor and patient is going viral this week that every wife and mother will definitely enjoy! Here’s the exchange:

Q: What do you do for a living Mr. Rogers?
A: I work as an accountant in a bank.

Q: Your wife?
A: She doesn’t work. She’s a housewife.

Q: Who makes breakfast for your family?
A: My wife, because she doesn’t work

Q: What time does your wife wake?
A: She wakes up early because it has to be organised. She organizes the lunch for the children, ensures that they are well-dressed and combed, if they had breakfast, if they brush their teeth and take all their school supplies. She wakes with the baby and changes diapers and clothes. Breastfeeds and makes snacks as well.

Q: How do your children get to school?
A: My wife takes them to school, because she doesn’t work.

Q: After taking their children to school, what does she do?
A: Usually takes a while to figure something out that she can do while she is out, so she doesn’t have to pack and unpack the carseat too many times, like drop off bills or to make a stop at the supermarket. Sometimes she forgets something and has to make the trip all over again, baby in tow. Once back home, she has to feed the baby lunch and breastfeed again, get the baby’s diaper changed and ready for a nap, sort the kitchen and then will take care of laundry and cleaning of the house. You know, because she doesn’t work.

Q: In the evening, after returning home from the office, what are you doing?
A: Rest, of course. Well, I’m tired after working all day in the bank.

Q: What does your wife do at night?
A: She makes dinner, serves my children and I, washes the dishes, orders once more the house, makes sure the dog is put away as well as any left over dinner. After helping children with homework she gets them prepared to sleep in pajamas and the baby is in fresh diapers, gives warm milk, verifies they brush their teeth. Once in bed she wakes frequently to continue to breastfeed and possibly change a diaper if needed while we rest. Because she doesn’t have to get up for work.

This is the daily routine of many women all over the world and it starts in the morning and continues until the wee hours of the night… This is called “doesn’t work”?!

This story serves as a reminder that we should always appreciate everything our wives, mothers, and grandmothers do to take care of us.
