I like what you said about treating homemaking like a career and continuing to learn & research to be the best & grow. ❤ This is very good advice! Thanks for sharing 😊
I love this Abby 💞 My mom was a homemaker until I started school at 5. One big takeaway for me was learning that the things she didn't do for us as a SAHM have been just as valuable a lesson as the things she did do. I've been a homemaker and stay-at-home mom for almost 8 years and started homeschooling 3 years ago. I must say, before taking that leap, I have never felt I was fulfilling my purpose. There's literally nothing else I would rather be doing! Embracing this role has helped me grow and mature as a wife, a mother and as a person. My perspective on life has completely changed and I am so grateful. My children were talking about talents one day and acknowledging skills in one another. They look at me and say "Mom's talent is taking care of her family." God has blessed me beyond measure 🥲❤
I love this video Abby! I am a "first-generation homemaker" as well. My husband and I celebrated our 4th anniversary in August and just recently welcomed our third child so I have had to learn these lessons quickly in order to not only stay sane but thrive in homemaking and moterhood. I really resonate with these 5 things you shared! Those are things I had to learn as well. I think the biggest obstacle for me was my pride. Once I let go of that and decided to humble myself and put my husband, my children and my house first rather than my entertainment, things started to go better and I started to find joy in what I was doing. The other two things I would add to this list are things I have been recently learning on my personal homemaking journey: 1. Who you spend time with matters (which kind of relates to your point about demeanor). Whether it's in person during play dates or even through the TH-cam videos you watch, the people you spend the most time with will influence the way you think therefore influencing the way you act. I find that I am a lot happier and motivated to actively have a good time with my kiddos when I have been spending time/talking with women who I admire as homemakers or have watched videos about biblical homemaking/motherhood or just videos of women who happily take care of their family and home. If I don't, I tend to go through the motions and complain a lot more. And let's be honest: mom's mood affects everybody in the house. If mom is happy, the kids tend to be happier, dad comes to a happy home and everybody has a good time! If mom is grumpy, oh boy... 2. Recognizing the season you are in is important. I too go crazy when the house is a mess and have developed routines that help me keep the house clean. However, right now with a newborn struggling with jaundice, I have to spend a lot of time keeping baby on the light machine, which means we don't go out as much, meaning the older kiddos get creative to occupy themselves and the house becomes a big mess. I also can't get to dishes and other things like I normally do. I have had to learn to let go of that to prioritize what's most important to me: my relationship with my family. In the end, my kids knowing that I love them is more important than having a clean house so either I need to include them in the chores so they have meaningful time with mom or I need to put some things on pause and spend time playing with them. If I decide to fixate on how much of a mess my kids have made, I lose my patience a lot faster and am not as kind to them. Becoming creative in how to not lose my cool but still getting the desired outcome has been a life saver (making cleaning up a game for my kids and me playing it with them makes it so I don't get mad, they don't get upset, we "play" and have a good time but the room still gets tidied up) Sorry for the novel but I really enjoyed this video and the thoughts it prompted! Thank you for sharing your journey with us and inspiring us to be better! I think once we realize that there are so many ways we can improve our homemaking (cooking, decorating, cleaning, decluttering, homeschooling, sewing and crafts, thrifting, remodeling, etc.), it becomes an exciting journey rather than a daunting one!
This is awesome! love it!! ❤ and yes cleaning helps you mentally especially if your home all the time 😅 it really makes u feel better not just for yourself but everyone overall
This really helped me understand how to do what my fiancee was doing in order to take over the homemaker job. A traumatic event happened and I can no longer do what I did before so we had to switch our duties. I cannot believe she is sticking with me through it, kat if you see this comment thank you.
I was raised by hippies and not taught how to run a home. I'm also not naturally inclined to clean and organize. I had to teach myself by reading, watching videos, and trying different methods. It wasn't until the quarantine period of the pandemic that I fell in love with homemaking. It's love that makes a home.
In my high school, when I was growing up, there was a class called Home Economics- we learned some quick sewing tips (buttons, zippers, patching up holes, hemming, etc…), ways to make your home more efficient and living it it more sustainable, cooking, baking, and even some minor home fixes. To my knowledge, they no longer provide that class but I find that it could be very helpful for everyone (men took the class also).
As a graduate student who has been pushing for quite a few years, I found your insights on outlook and demeanor to be incredibly validating. It's true that life can get overwhelming, but we shouldn't feel the need to constantly voice our complaints to acknowledge this fact. Much like you, I've come to realize that my mental health suffers when I fail to actively seek a positive perspective in challenging situations. The pervasive influence of hustle culture, as you mentioned, often makes us believe that we're not working hard enough unless we're constantly miserable. This mindset is truly detrimental to our overall well-being. Thank you, Abby, for this fantastic video! And congratulations on your second little one on the way! :D
Great video, thank you Abby 😀 You are doing a valuable job as, like you say, we don't all have this teaching passed on in our families. I think that confidence in the priorities for your own family is an important part of homemaking. Best wishes, Joanna
I know from your videos that your mom was a wonderful working mom (I think honestly that we are all working - stay at home , working, etc- it’s all hard work) - do you think her choices contributed to your decision. My mom was a stay at home mom until my dad became disabled unexpectedly. I think that informed my choices - I consider my career my other child but did I make my decisions from a trauma perspective. My mother had no skills /college education to enter the work force . She also died of glioblastoma 20 years ago- that probably even confirmed my decision and looking back was it from a child trauma perspective
I am a stay at home mom, and I HATE cooking. I wish I liked it, but I just don't. Never have, never will. I have a 2 year old and I'm already tired of figuring out what to feed her every day lol. It sounds terrible, but it's true!
I feel the SAME!! And my boy is already 3 so that’s been a long time of feeling this way!! It’s even harder to love it when I’m cooking AND trying to keep him occupied or not destroying the kitchen/meal 😆😬😫
One thing you can try is to write out a plan for the whole week, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and just repeat that every week. There should be enough variety that you don't get bored, but enough familiarity that keeps it easy to do, and children really thrive with routine. As you get into the groove you can mix it up as fits your fancy. This has really helped my household run more smoothly lately. I hope you find a good system for you and yours!
Wrong. Full-time employed mothers have someone else raising the kids. Are you really going to sit there and say you are physically watching your kids most of the day while doing chores? You're passing the baton. At least, be honest about that.
Yes what is your schedule & erasable pen?? 😃😂🙌🏼 i have a white board calendar on the fridge currently f& I love it but I would love one I can also move
It is funny to see how the generations are changing. When I had my baby in the mid-eighties everything was changing for women. I could see (through a glass darkly) that it was being imposed. I had two layers to my understanding. Let me try to draw it up. Halfway through my life as a mom (Single-parent. Train wreck. Not proud. Long story) beaurocratic forms stopped allowing women to write "housewife" in the career column. Instead we had to put "unemployed". The Labour Party (left-wing in the UK) actually have a manifesto where they said women who stay home with their children were "a problem". Media shows would ridicule women who cooked, etc. I remember one show where a woman produced a home cooked meal. The other option was one of those new frozen meals. Naturally, the woman was humiliated and everyone chirruped (yes, we chirruped in those days) about how tasty and wonderful the frozen food was. I must side note. At school, the heart and soul had gone out of home economics. Sewing and cooking was ridiculous. Example. When I was about 14, I attended a cooking class. I had to make a cup of black instant coffee. This is where the politics comes in. The "utopian socialist" Marxist-feminist school of thought was that family was not women's natural sphere of life, but was forced upon women to stop them reaching their potential. Marx and Engels blamed women for making men's lives so happy and comfortable they failed to engage in violent revolution (they may have phrased it a little differently). Famous feminists like Betty Friedan and Simon de Beauvoir are both on record saying women with children had to be "forced" out to work or they would chose to stay with their children. Friedan devotes a whole chapter of her famous book _The Feminine Mystique_ on what she calls, "The Wrong Choice". This played in to the stuffing being removed from anything that smacked of homemaking being taken seriously in schools. The consequence was young women would have children and wouldn't have a clue how to manage a home. If there is one thing that makes me madder than a pocket full of bees, it is people who think there is no skill involved in cleaning. That was one strand. Then there was my own experience. I learned to cook. I struggled to manage a home. Curiously, I was always much more ambitious than any other woman I had ever met, but the intoxication of being with my baby and cooking meals she really enjoyed. The whole homemaker shebang - I experienced something almost primordial. I still felt I had to go out to work. I got a gig in the Edinburg Festival. There weren't many female stand-ups in those days. The rest of the group were guys. I said I had a young baby and could only go if this could be accommodated. It wasn't. I realised that I was doing a job with all my mind on being home with my baby. She behaved in an unusual way that showed she wasn't happy. I packed up and took the night bus home. I swore I wouldn't go out to work until she was old enough to be cool about it. Slowly, I realised that (a) there was more to this woman-business than I had so far acknowledged, and (b) I was much more traditional than I had ever thought possible. Things are changing for women. They are taking back the role that was taken forcibly from them. Perhaps social media has had a part to play in this. Women can watch videos like this one and wake up to who they really are. Homemaking isn't right for everyone, but it has a value. And women like you are reclaiming it. Bravo!
I love your channel but I feel weird about this video. Cause you are saying this tips that are the minimum in my country for men, women, homemakers, people who work... I mean things like cleaning your floors at least once a week is the minimum in any normal house. I am a bit amazed at you saying this as smth special
This video actually is fascinating. I’ve always cleaned my house whether it was a rental or owned. I’ve never let laundry or dishes pile up. I’ve always been interesting in cooking and learning to cook better. Cleaning floors I do more than once a week. This as someone Abby thinks I’ve failed at life because I enjoy a career and I don’t want children. THIS is her big journey as a homemaker. So basically she was a slob before?

Just a random note. It's nice that she found her worth or personal potential in being a housewife. But homemaking is not a job and ridiculous to think so. Jobs you get paid vs being a homemaker you never get paid nor do you ever get days off. However, being a homemaker is personal mission that you choose to do daily. With that choice, comes the understanding that you are doing basic/fundamental life things and choosing that as a main focus to excel at vs working in a actual job where you get paid or got a formal education for. Being a parent isn't a job either it's a responsibility. Nothing wrong with choosing that lifestyle, but don't mix the two together. Just my humble opinion.
Hey, homemaking is absolutely a job, let me explain how. See, to live, you need to do some basic things, get a job get paid, get your food and these are the basics, right? In traditional households all these works are being split. The wife being the maternal kind, keep the house okay to live in, raises kids, educate them and men earns so that the family members don't have to. I have been both working woman and a homemaker and let me tell you, juggling everything is hard. Job needs to have a transection, yes but that never has to be financial when it comes to raising a family.
@@NaharTamrin I have to still disagree. Those are all basic human responsibilities. You are responsible for carrying for the human that you decided to bring into life. You have responsibilities to maintain a good lifestyle whether it's traditional or untraditional. You can live a traditional lifestyle and play by the roles, but it's certainly not a job. Its a choice of a creed to live by if you will.
@@_C8H10N4O2_ You say your country without providing the actual name of the country. I would like to know if it's actually true or a lie in order to validate housewives into thinking it's an actual job.

Your worth shouldn’t be found in anything besides Christ. Yes you can find joy and fulfillment but it shouldn’t be your accomplishments whether that be in the home or outside.

I was raised to be a girl boss by a homemaker. Her focus in raising me was doing well in school and going to college.
Watching my mom as a housewife made me realize I didn't want to do that.
I love this Abby 💞 My mom was a homemaker until I started school at 5. One big takeaway for me was learning that the things she didn't do for us as a SAHM have been just as valuable a lesson as the things she did do.
