I’ve been homebound for exactly 1 week and I can tell you that the one thing I enjoy the least is cleaning my house.

I like a clean house. The floor should be polished, it should smell nice, the kitchen table should has nothing on it. The pillow should be white, there shouldn’t be any hair left on anything. I like a very clean house.

Yet I’m so so bad at cleaning.

Let me rephrase. I can clean okay, but it toook me really really really really long time. Right now as we speak, I just finished cleaning the kitchen. It took 2 hours to clean, and I don’t really cook, I just warm thing up. I used a lot of bowl, and a lot of glasses though. You know why, because I get tired cleaning up, so much that during washing the dishes, I need to wash my hand, and then take a break at the sofa. I counted my behavior, it took exactly 3 stops, and 2 hours since I finished washing the dishes and polishing my kitchen.

I’m so tired of cleaning that I decided I will only eat once a day, and I did for the last 3 days.

You know, right now I’m still in the midst of cleaning. It took so much from my time that I don’t have time to do anything, from reading to writing to practicing. So I decided I will sit down and tell you how much it frustrate me that I took so much time to clean.

After cleaning my kitchen today, I wanted to stopped eating for couple days because I’m tired of cleaning. I just want to spend my days reading books, working and writing.

After writing this blog post, I also need to stand up, vacuum my home, mop the floor boy it would take me another 2 hours and that’s it my day is gone.

So while cleaning my kitchen today, I can definitely say that I’m not a good wife. I don’t have the skill and the capability. While it takes me about 10 minutes to write this blog, it will take 10 hours for me to finish cleaning the home where I live alone with 2 dogs. Can you imagine if I live with 1 husband and 4 more kids? I can’t put that into my mind, that thought would kill me haha !

I need to have a househusband? No, I don’t like that idea. I’d like to have a husband that is on the same page with me. We will be both working, and we will be hiring maids. Let me repeat, Maidsssss. You know one for each kids, and the overall one to clean the house, cook the food.

I like cooking, but I don’t like prepping. I like cooking not because I’m a woman, I like cooking because I like to cook. I like cooking, but cleaning will take me a long long time.

For that reason, I conclude that I cannot be a good wife in the assumed role that society has forced onto woman.

Well, I need to stand up and vacuum my home now. See you in 5 hours
