What De-Motivates Indian Housewives


Major Indian families do not prefer their daughter-in-laws to work. So their jobs are dropped in other to manage the household.  The task of a house wife may look easy but it is not. Managing everything to make the life of the other family members is not cake walk. In the process her family becomes her life. Because technically they are the only people she is in contact with. Housewives facing a problem of loneliness are very common. There are few de-motivational aspects to that.  


They have a monotonous routine


Workplace is an important area where we come in contact with people, share different ideas and see the world with a broader view point. Housewives do not work. So their major social circle is cut down. The only people they talk to are the neighborhood, relatives and the family. They don’t have people around them discussing intellectual issues. The only issues they talk about are the household once, which doesn’t make their minds grow.

Housewives have a monotonous routine, monotonous than any other job. Sitting at home wandering from room to room is boring. Having nothing to look forward to in life is really depressing. 

Always being dependent on other leads to low self confidence

Housewives are dependent on their family members for money. As they are not working and are at home all the time they ought to depend on their family members for the money which is so de motivational, especially when the family disrespects her every time they give her the money to get things for their house. Such treatment makes her feel low.


Lack of recognition

Being a housewife is the most difficult job but once a lady becomes a housewife, she lacks her recognition. Then she is only known by the name of her husband or maybe some other elder or dominating member of her family. A working lady has a good personality, self confidence, and recognition in the society but a house neither has confidence nor personality nor lacks recognition. The reason behind this is the treatment given to her by the family members, if the family members won’t respect her no one else would.

A house wife actually is the busiest person                                                               

She wakes up before everyone else in the family prepares breakfast for everyone, sends her children to school, sends her husband to office, cleans the house, prepares lunch, washes clothes and what not from morning till the night she has got never ending work to finish off. But she is always available for anybody and everybody who needs her help and at times availability leads to disrespect.

If a person is always available to work and help the other person, he would be taken for granted by the other person after some time. It is very important to keep yourself and your priorities ahead of everyone else.


The major problem of every housewife is that when she is free, during afternoons or maybe in the evening she starts to think. She thinks of everything and anything she could think of and then crops up lots of unnecessary tension.

Every lady who is a housewife has to understand that they have their own life and are not bound to be available for their family members all the time. She has the liberty to liver her life the way she wants.
