what to do when you don't enjoy being a homemaker

[@scrambl3dmegs]

A home doesn't just happen, it needs to be made. ❤

[@sumgolfer41]

This was such an encouragement. I am a stay at home to a 20 month old and likely will be home school Mama eventually. People (even some Christians) are SO judgmental. We sacrifice so I can be home raising our son and taking care of the home and cooking meals. People will ask me “what do you do all day” I work way harder now then when I worked in the corporate world - at least now my work is meaningful ❤️

This blows my mind. Even if I thought that I’d be too polite to ask it lol sheesh!

[@aprilprothero1665]

Love your video. One thing though from a wife of an hvac guy. Please dont cover your thermostat. It has holes in it to flow the air in there to see what temp it needs to be at. If air flow is restricted, it can make your system work harder thus costing you more money. And if the system works harder, it wears out fast. You could just put a frame around it to make it look like art. But i wouldnt cover it. It was a cute picture though!

[@lisajenson1982]

Great tip!! Yesterday I was actually looking at my thermostat and was thinking about putting a picture over it. But I'm glad I saw this comment. It makes sense. I would like to add another tip. I also heard you're not supposed to cover your breaker box in case of an emergency....❤

I know this will sound funny, but I’ve seen a few of your videos here and there when they’ve been suggested, but there’s something about seeing the beautiful green walls in your kitchen that felt so cozy and home-like that I just had to subscribe😂 it definitely makes the space so warm and inviting! Love it!

I loved being a stay at home mom, my kids are grown now and say they loved having me home for them❤️

[@katherinethousand2382]

This is so timely for me. Three littles and I’m STRUGGLING because I just wasn’t taught how to run a home. My mom always worked full-time so thankfully I did have some chores… but it’s a huge struggle. I have no boundaries, few skills, and I stink at properly disciplining my kids. Every day is a struggle and I hate it most of the time, but I come on here for encouragement and to hopefully learn something 🫶🏻 so thank you. I follow a few other people as well and you all have just taught me so much.

[@victoriakaufman1564]

this is exactly how I feel...you are not alone mama

[@raidenflint2043]

In the same boat over here! Some days are hard with 3 kids 4 and under but we will get there eventually.

[@LovingAbundantLife]

Keep pushing on. You don’t have to perfect each of those areas just try each day to be a little better. Pickup a new skill and stick with just that for a few months maybe even longer. Be consistent in your disciple. Dwell on something you do currently love and that may be small and it may change each day. As someone who can relate to struggling with motherhood after 10 years I’m astonished as how much I’ve grown and how much I’ve learned. It’s a worthy pursuit and incredibly rewarding when you don’t give up and keep trying to do it well.

[@cindyf181]

Just work on one skill at a time. Don’t try to be excellent at all 15 skills at once or you will get burnt out. Decide what you can let go of for a bit while you focus on your most important skill. I didn’t know how to run a home well and still don’t clean as much as others do BUT you are lucky to have KZbin to learn some of those kinds of skills from. Take two weeks and focus on one goal then add another once you’ve mastered that one. You will look back in a year and see all the progress you’ve made. Even if it’s only 4 new skills those new skills will make everyday life better.

[@Simply_marryy]

I find that channels like yours, Farmhouse on Boone etc and listening to Fr. Ripperger have really inspired me on the type of wife and mother I want and should be! You guys have given me guidance, tips, ideas that I didn’t always have growing up. Just want to say thank you for being here for us new and well seasoned moms who are trying their best!

[@Caitlinabcdefg]

100% agree with every single tip. Motherhood was very difficult at first but just like any other job, there is a learning curve and it gets easier and you get better :)

[@haleysolmen4151]

I recently dropped to part time work to be with my baby more, and I was questioning all my life choices the first month. Your videos have helped me so much in adjusting to this new rhythm. Thank you!!

Bwah haha Mothering is HARD WORK aint it 😘 Don’t ever apologize for or let someone belittle your great work of mothering!

[@TodaysBibleTruth]

I would say that the attitude toward homemaking changed more recently than the "last hundred years". I think it began around the 1960s during the women's movement. I know that during the 60s, and even into the 70s, the norm was that most moms were still at home with the kids. If they did work, they waited until the kids were a bit older. Just thinking out loud, for what it is worth. ♥

[@cristinap6394]

I agree. I’m also a millennial and I knew how to cook (like multiple course meals), clean, held a job, extracurriculars that taught leadership and wasn’t just for the workplace, and also babysat at 12, cared for animals before then too. I’m 37 and when I got married my husband had already had meals that he would often say was better than any high quality restaurant he ate at, a managed home, and so on. And most of my friends growing up had the same upbringing and all of us came from different walks of life but were all in public school. I grew up in the south though, so maybe it was different? My parents both served and retired from the Navy and my dad raised us growing up. Cooked my first steak on the stove to perfection at 9 because he wanted me to be able to take care of myself and others.

[@NormieNeko]

I enjoyed being a childless housewife because I practiced slow living and always finished goals and chores as expected. That is not the norm with children. It's gotten difficult with each baby. I honestly have way more help and time than the the average woman, but I'm so used to taking my time. I feel more rushed nowadays. What bothers me the most is that the cleaning is continuous because no space is ever tidy for long. Crossing things off my list is different. I feel like I'm never done, or I am done, but it's a repeat in a couple hours or so. It's exhausting. I also have this issue where kids suck out my energy. I originally thought it was just because I didn't have my own yet, or because I was around a large group of children at once. But it's definitely more permanent than that. I wasn't expecting it. It bothers me because I love my children, but I need multiple daily breaks to catch a mental breath.

[@mossyoakmom8880]

I’m sure you are very exhausted. I hope you are able to take some time for yourself here and there. I always wanted to be a stay at home mom but I’ve always had to work outside the home. My children are grown now. I think it is so wonderful when a mama can stay home with the children. You do need a break though. Hopefully you have support from family or friends to help lighten your load here and there. You have the most important job in the world.😊

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

You have touched on some extremely pertinent issues Just feeling like u don’t have enough time, have to rush, little ppls pulling at u… These are base problems, the foundation to what’s going on

[@mama_knitter]

This was a timely video. I’m 10 years into mother hood and I’ve been feeling dragged by it since we added a 4th. Just can’t seem to find my rhythm. Thanks for the pep talk! PS, I tried to cover my thermostat and my HVAC guy said it’s a no no, it can’t sense the temp.

[@jeannedumond285]

Love what you said about learning the skills - 1 at a time. Its true we as women have not been taught and unfortunately have to learn these ourselves. It would be cool to see a video listing out these homemaking skills, it would help me get motivated. Sending lots of love ❤

[@katherinemanna1821]

I love watching your channel and how you just apply it to real living and not “perfect”. My issue is I do have to work for our budget, but want to be more homestead mindset, and finding the time for that has been a trial. I love watching channels like yours for ideas and knowledge, but then working on putting things in place has been tough, without comparing myself to what I see on KZbin.

[@samanthacraft1077]

What an amazing video! Love it and great reminder. You're an amazing mom, homemaker, school teacher and women.

[@emilyscudero6076]

Gives me perspective on some ways we could improve in our house as well as what I have had to learn the past five years with starting a family. I have four kids 4 and under and I started out having never babysat a kid and never cooked a meal from scratch. The only thing I knew going into my marriage was how to clean and how to work multiple jobs (worked two jobs while in high school). I planned on having a career going (very happy I didn’t go in that direction) and so wasn’t prepared for the duties once we started having kids. All your points here are spot on. I pray for clarity on how to become a better home maker because it is hard these days going in without knowledge on how to do things. Thank you for this video! We need more moms out there like you to mentor us new moms so we aren’t trying to figure these things out in the dark!

[@meschouxpetits]

As always. great video and timely. I have a toddler and six month old and we just hit a new octave of busy. I've been eating humble pie lately realizing that I am coming up against my growth edge as a mom. So encouraging to see more experienced moms talking about the learning curve. P.S. Your husband's hat tan line is absolutely epic.

I think the mesh basket with handle is a vintage soap holder. You put a piece of bar soap in it and swish it in water, either for washing dishes or other cleaning. That was before we had soap in a squeeze bottle!😂

[@Shannon.Hazleton]

Well said. My mom was and is a homemaker and I still entered marriage woefully incompetent- because my focus was always on school and social activities and looking forward to college and a career.. after traveling the world I realized all I really wanted was to be a wife and have kids and stay home with them; but by that time I was in my late 20’s and learning from scratch. And like you said, learning it AS I was raising babies who all came in quick succession. (We have eight)… even after 21 years of Homemaking there are areas that I’m not quite competent and honestly my nearly grown daughters will be able to excel where I fumbled for years.

One of the biggest things I struggled with as a full-time working Mom who was forced to become a stay at home Mom; was feeling like I was doing nothing. My husband was the bread winner when our boys got to preschool and my entire paycheck minus $30 every week was the preschool bill! I am a queen procrastinator! I can't stand the fact that I have a huge lazy bone in me! Working forced me to get my butt up, shower, and get ready by 7am! Being at home, I lived in my pajamas. It took me a decade to start changing clothes and taking care of me. Then we had a surprise rainbow baby girl when I was 39! Thank God because she completed our family. ❤

[@LovingAbundantLife]

I like to tell moms who ask me how am I so productive at home that I treat it like I did my nursing job. I wouldn’t show up looking like I rolled out of bed, I prepped stuff the night before to make me successful, AND I tried to have a good attitude about it. Apply those same ideas to being home and you’ll become wildly productive. I don’t go over board but even if I plan on staying home all day I pick out a cute thrifted outfit, fix my hair, do my makeup, and throw my shoes on. I show up to the job of motherhood ready to go. Now we all need a day where we stay in our pajamas and just lounge but that’s a treat not everyday.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Getting showered and dressed asap brkfst is key to getting the day going I used to put on Sesame Street for my kids and get in shower. Every day at 9am I had to get in becuz SS would be over if I didn’t. Thank goodness we had no internet when my littles were young. It’s so addictive. Much more fun than cleaning crud off the table and rinsing down dishes so then u can nurse the baby while reading to the toddler and preschooler who fight over who gets to sit next to mommy where they can pet the babys head. My first baby I read so many bks nursing him! I’m a voracious reader and that’s where the internet sucks me in now. A free library w/experienced users on skills I want. Plus research I can access outside a university library!

You could take your art piece and take out the inside board, so to use your thermostat you had to flip up the floral print. So fun 🥲🤍

The gadget you thought was for brewing tea is really for putting soap scraps in then you swish it in your dish pan to wash dishes. I save my scraps of Ivory and Grandma's lye soap for washing dishes.

[@oldchickenlady]

I didn't explain that very well... you swish the basket part with the soap scraps in it in your dish pan just to get enough soap in the water to clean the dishes. Women used it before liquid dish soap in a bottle.

Just a little tip your thermostat will function differently ones its covered because of the sensor. I hat someone say that they could not figure out why the heater would not go on when it was so cold. But its the sensor being covered so if you make an opening or so at the bottom of the frame maybe it will be better

what I want to know is how to get kids to do things on their own without fighting or needing me every 10 seconds. I feel I can't cook meals, or pick things from the garden, or do anything really. if I try to do something other than explicitly STARE at the kids I have one who "runs off." ex: im trying to water the plants, ask the kids if they wanna help, one will take off running towards the road. siblings follow. trying to make a nice home cooked meal turns into "he's looking at me, she took my toy, I dont like that meal" etc. I see you cooking in your videos and im so inspired but when im in the kitchen like that all 5 of my kids are at my feet, winding my ankles like house cats lol im sure someday ill look back on "the good ol days" but its really hard to get ANYTHING done these days.

So my mother and my family have always been self-employed so proprietors my mother had a general store back in the early 70s. We had a game room in the 80s. We had a few bars. My mother had three restaurants. My grandmother had a restaurant and we kept on with that self-employment I had a bluebell ice cream shop for 16 years And then things happen. My mother took. I am the only girl so I took care of her for years until she passed away in 2002 then my mother-in-law and my father-in-law lost their house from the hurricane and they both took GALE so I took care of my mother-in-law, a couple years ago and she lost her with my father-in-law. He is living with us and we are empty, but my father-in-law has pretty bad dementia and then my husband was diagnosed with cancer so I’ve always took care of somebody and someone pointed that out to me you have always taken care of other people you need to make sure you take care of yourself And it is so true but it is just overwhelming to have two people under the roof. I have to find those good days so a lot of my vegetables and melons and stuff and potatoes onions garlic everything like that and I’ve gotten real good at it, but I can’t really get out the way I used to, because of my husband with his cancer and my father-in-law with his dementia and my father-in-law has three other sons do it my grown boys have three grown boys and they help me more than anything my middle child my garden for me I had some raised beds built out of some metal sheeting that I had and they were pretty big and bulky for me to move so he moved them and he got this guy to come and clean my backyard and it came out beautiful. I just started learning how to weed eat. My husband doesn’t have to do a lot so I will have to learn how to weed now my kids can do it, but I hate to bother them as much as I do because they have their own families I have grandbabies and you know they have young children And so I kind of put it on myself and my son says I’m too hard on myself. I know it really got me close friends said you’re always taking care of somebody like always kind of but that’s the truth. I mean that’s what you do when you married 40 years and your husband took out you have to take care of him with no regrets with no you know I do have to learn a lot of patience because that’s one thing I’m not blessed with and I pray to God all the time to give me patience, I felt like I’ve had some nervous breakdowns but the Lord for strength and I try to make every day something that I enjoy doing and enjoying, but I actually were blessed so my grandmother died in 1985. She was born in 1900 lot of antiques that I use now I use a lot of the antiques that I have and I use them. I display them, but I use them and people are like you shouldn’t be doing that but I do, what I do I don’t have that many kids. I started having babies when I was 17 and my last child I was 32 like I said they’re all grown. They have families.

If you're not cherishing your blessings, spend some time talking to the Lord. He'll lead you into all the Truth. His Word is truth. Not every part of homemaking is enjoyable. But all of it is worthwhile.

I was born in 1971 and I was surrounded by stay at home moms including mine. The only thing I was required to do was to become educated. I appreciate your personal experience, but 6 minutes in I can't listen to anymore of this. I hope one day you leave home and meet more than just your community or at least get a broader perspective than some talking points. I have worked a corporate job from home for 20+ years. My husband has found great value in also working a corporate job part time from home (long before covid). MANY women wanted to work from home or stay at home with kids when I was a young adult so most of what you're saying is just foreign to me. If you mean that the divorce era left many women with nothing, then yes. It was thought to protect your daughter she should not have to depend on a man, therefore, we became educated, self sufficient AND skilled homemakers. We still have full lives, participate in our children's lives and if I want them to have fresh baked bread I buy it; when I want to I bake it.

Stay at home mom's, work hard and don't have the luxury of 2 - 15 minute breaks and lunch. Staying home with your children is a great honor

I'd rather submit to my husband who promise before God to love and care for me rather than a boss who doesn't really even know me

I would not pay attention to others opinions Know why you do this

[@kathsch8966]

I'm trying to get past the fact that you found sending a steer you raised off to be killed & butchered "exciting".

[@MeghanElizabeth21]

I’m sure that it’s exciting because that means she’s about to get a lot of meat. Not that the killing was exciting (As a former 8 year vegan I get why the wording was uncomfortable though)

[@EveryPeachInReach]

The prospect of having a lot of fresh meat in the freezer is exciting. ❤

[@silvernblack21]

I'd be excited to know I raised my meat and didn't have to rely on who knows what down at the grocery store.

I'd say the answer to your video title is trade your life with mine and you'll be begging to be back sooner than later.
