My wife recently had a baby and I stayed home 2 weeks home to help out. After doing cooking, laundering taking care of the older kid, etc I can really say how much of a job it is to be a housewife. We men take them for granted and their job remains a thankless and unpaid(in terms of wages). Now I can appreciate her work more than ever. P.S. A side note. My wife is nursing and suddenly she felt she did not have milk and the baby is going hungry. Upon doctors advice we tried o supplement with formula. But the baby totally rejected the formula. When we told the doctor, he said of course nothing beats the taste and the nutrition of a mothers milk. I really feel sorry for infants who are deprived of this by their mothers for often (if not always) selfish interests.
