Are you a homemaker who despite working 24×7 feels you are not contributing enough? Well, guess what? You are not alone to think that way!
Hey Superwomen of the Homefront!
Ever feel like you’re the CEO of a multi-faceted, 24/7 operation but the board of directors (aka society) forgot to send you a memo of appreciation? Well, it’s time to flip the script and give yourself the kudos you so rightfully deserve. Here’s why you, dear homemakers, need to be more respectful towards yourselves and realize just how pivotal your role is.
The Home CEO
First things first, let’s call it what it is: you’re not “just a homemaker.” You’re the Chief Executive Officer of your home. Managing finances, organizing schedules, cooking meals that could rival Gordon Ramsay, and solving conflicts that would make UN diplomats jealous—these aren’t just chores; they’re high-level operations. And this is what we call women empowerment. Next time someone asks what you do, just tell them you’re in upper management and watch their jaws drop.
The Real MVPs a.k.a Most Valuable Player
Ever notice how superheroes never seem to get tired? That’s because they’ve got nothing on you. Cleaning up spills faster than a speeding bullet, juggling tasks like a circus pro, and keeping everything running smoothly is no small feat. Respecting yourself means recognizing that you’re the MVP of your household team. Without you, everything would fall apart faster than a house of cards in a hurricane.
Self-Care is Not Selfish
Ladies, let’s get one thing straight: self-care isn’t selfish. It’s essential. Also a mantra for women empowerment. However, women in India choose to go on a guilt trip whenever they take sometime out for themselves. But, remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup. Taking time for yourself, whether it’s a hot bath, reading a book, or simply enjoying a quiet cup of coffee, isn’t indulgence—it’s maintenance. Think of yourself as a luxury car; you wouldn’t skip an oil change, so don’t skip taking care of yourself.

Breaking Stereotypes
Society sometimes treats homemaking like it’s a 1950s relic, but women in India know better. By respecting yourself and your work, you’re shattering outdated stereotypes and showing the world that managing a home is a critical, skilled, and highly valuable job. Plus, it’s 2024, and anyone who still thinks homemaking isn’t a real job probably also believes the earth is flat.
Spread the Love
Respecting yourself sets a powerful example for your kids and partner. It teaches them the importance of self-worth and mutual respect and also empowers you. When you treat yourself like a queen, your family learns to appreciate and value the work you do. You’re not just raising kids; you’re raising the next generation of respectful, empathetic adults. And why it is important to stay rooted? You can read here!
Your Role, Your Respect
In the grand scheme of things, homemakers are the unsung heroes who keep the world turning. So, stand tall, give yourself a pat on the back, and maybe even a tiara. Realize your worth, respect your role, and remember, the world may not always see it, but without you, everything would crumble. You’re important, you’re valuable, and it’s high time you recognize it.
So here’s to you, the true queen of the castle. Keep being awesome!
