If the contribution is complete then why is respect half incomplete?
A woman diligently extends her efforts beyond her capacity, managing the household and coordinating all arrangements. Upon her husband’s return, if some tasks remain unfinished, he may question her apparent idleness.
And then, one day when the entire home is messed up, kids are fighting, and the kitchen is also scattered. The reply to the above question by the wife is “You always say, what do you do? So look, I didn’t do anything today.”
In the context of a woman’s responsibilities, this scenario reflects a bitter reality. Over time, such behavior not only undermines her self-confidence but also fosters dependency in crucial matters.
It falls upon the woman to initiate change in this situation, requiring five essential steps:
Speak Clearly and Challenge Wrongdoings
Learn to unequivocally label unacceptable behavior. If a family member acts disrespectfully, address it politely but firmly. By doing so, you communicate your feelings, potentially correcting unintentional actions and fostering a change in attitude.
Highlight the Importance of Every Household Task
Emphasize the significance of all household chores, from cooking to caregiving. Don’t carry the burden of all the tasks over your shoulders. From the very beginning, both children and husband should be got into the habit of helping in the household work.
Take care of yourself, fulfil your passion, seek happiness
Generally, it is the habit of the woman to not eat breakfast in the morning due to work, and in the afternoon eats food once everyone is done. After a while, even the family members start feeling that the woman has no interest in anything. No one pays any attention to the woman’s happiness.
It is the responsibility of a woman to pay attention to your diet, pursue your hobbies, listen to songs, and read books. This will make it clear to your family members what you like and dislike.
Enhance Knowledge and Skills for Independence
Stay informed about current events through daily news, engaging your family in relevant discussions. Demonstrate your eagerness to learn and adapt in the age of the internet, thereby boosting your self-confidence.
Increase Financial Literacy and Explore Investment Options
Evolve from managing household expenses to gaining knowledge about investments. Take charge of banking-related tasks and discuss financial matters with your husband. Align your family’s happiness with your own, recognizing the reciprocal nature of familial well-being.
By following these steps, you can cultivate happiness, garner respect from others, and realize your intrinsic value. In doing so, you naturally enhance your ability to contribute positively to your family.
