Housewife for hire
As daily lives go, mine is pretty cushy. Yes, I still cringe when I fill in “housewife” for “occupation” on airport immigration forms — after all I do have 18 years of schooling behind me, and I’m not talking vocational or liberal arts degrees here but good old fashioned “you may hate Accounting but you will get a job after graduation” business degrees — but there’s no denying the fact that while my husband trudges off, reluctantly, to work every morning and draws a paycheck twice a month, I have no such constraints on my daily schedule and yet have marital drawing rights on his income.
This subject is rife with comedic and dramatic possibilities, but let’s save such talk for another post.
