Time portal activate: Take me back to my childhood in the early 90s. ZAP!
As a child, I watched my mama take the housewife duties to an elite level of keeping the house, family, garden and all things “housewives” are tasked with while their husbands are the sole bread winner. I grew up in a house where you were not allowed to even walk on the dining room carpet because it would mess up the perfect “V” pattern that the vacuum cleaner sketched out on the floor. We didn’t have a white pickett fence, but if we did, you know exactly what type of front yard one would have. Flowers in bloom, bird bath, beautiful groomed lawn and few big wheels in the driveway for my friends and I to play in the cul de sac, while mama tends to the yard. I’ve spoke to many of my friends who grew up with a housewife as their moms and we all envisioned us as adults following in to those footsteps.
Sometimes the path that we thought we would be taking in our late 20s would resemble this lifestyle, but someone had a different plan for me. I did not think I would continue to work in corporate America after my 20s, but here we are. I want to dedicate this post to combining my passion for stockings and taking after my mama in “housewife” roles while not actually being anyone’s wife. I don’t think my mama ever did vacuuming in her thigh highs, so here is a plot twist to what my sexy version of a housewife could look like.
“All women are working women. Only a few are salaried”
12.9 million working mothers of school aged children, became full time stay at home mom’s between the pandemic and now. A lot of factors went in to this stat including; job loss, unemployment, not in the labor market and reasons to save on child care. Add a pandemic to ones family and now mothers were becoming their own child’s “teacher” during virtual learning days. Add all of these duties to a mama’s plate and we are bound to put our sex life and husbands needs to the side. To all the mom’s out there, you all deserve to be the Housewife of the Year – for a few years in a row I might add…
Let’s take care of two birds with one stone, eh? Slip in to your stockings, cute cheeky panties and bra and make your husband drool over the new housewife uniform. He will notice, he will be reminded that you can still be a superwoman and also gives him something exciting to look forward to if he has been a good man to you that week. But what about my kids playing around the house, while I am strutting around in the new outfit to clean the house? Turn it it in a dress up game with your little ones. “Mommy, why are you so dressed up to clean?” “Lola, go put on your princess costume and let’s play dress up together!” Trust me, she doesn’t know stockings implies sex, but it’s a bonding moment for you and your little gremlins. Embrace this and go get that Housewife of the Year award again!
