This Woman Just Destroyed Anyone Who Underestimates a Stay-At-Home Mom's Workload
As a mom of three, Ryshell Castleberry knows just how much effort mothers dedicate to their families. Unfortunately, she also knows how many people underestimate the work they do depending on their job title.
As a tribute to stay-at-home moms, Ryshell shared a buzzy post on Facebook that is still being applauded by those who understand that a hard day of work isn't limited to a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. schedule. Although her message might be a bit over-the-top, it gets the important point across by recounting a hypothetical conversation between a close-minded husband (H) and a psychologist (P).
Q: what do you do for a living Mr. Rogers?
H: I work as an accountant in a bank.
P: Your wife?
H: She doesn't work. She's a housewife.
Q: Who makes breakfast for your family?
H: My wife, because she doesn't work
Q: What time does your wife wake?
H: She wakes up early because it has to be organized. She organizes the lunch for the children, ensures that they are well dressed and combed, if they had breakfast, if they brush their teeth and take all their school supplies. She wakes with the baby and changes diapers and clothes. Breastfeeds and makes snacks as well.
Q: How do your children get to school?
H: My wife takes them to school, because she doesn't work.
P: After taking their children to school, what does she do?
H: Usually takes a while to figure something out that she can do while she is out, so she doesn't have to pack and unpack the car seat too many times, like drop off bills or to make a stop at the supermarket. Sometimes she forgets something and has to make the trip all over again, baby in tow. Once back home, she has to feed the baby lunch and breastfeed again, get the baby's diaper changed and ready for a nap, sort the kitchen and then will take care of laundry and cleaning of the house. You know, because she doesn't work.
P: In the evening, after returning home from the office, what are you doing?
H: Rest, of course. Well, I'm tired after working all day in the bank.
Q: What does your wife do at night?
H: She makes dinner, serves my children and I, washes the dishes, orders once more the house, makes sure the dog is put away as well as any left over dinner. After helping children with HW she gets them prepared to sleep in pajamas and the baby is in fresh diapers, gives warm milk, verifies they brush their teeth. Once in bed she wakes frequently to continue to breastfeed and possibly change a diaper if needed while we rest. Because she doesn't have to get up for work.
Ryshell dedicated her insightful post to all of the women who give their lives for the welfare of their families. "The woman is like salt: Her presence is not remembered, but its absence makes everything left without flavor," she wrote. She hopes to inspire others to both celebrate and appreciate the women in their lives because she explains that being a housewife has no diplomas yet the yet sacrifice is priceless.
I work as a wife of the home, 24 hours a day
I am a mother,
I am a woman,
I am a daughter,
I'm the alarm clock,
I'm the cook,
I'm the maid,
I am the master,
I'm the bartender,
I'm the babysitter,
I'm a nurse,
I am a manual worker,
I'm a security officer,
I'm the advisor,
I am the comforter,
I don't have a vacation,
I don't have a license for disease.
I don't have a day off
I work day and night,
I'm on duty all the time,
I do not receive salary and ...
Even so, I often hear the phrase:
"But what do you do all day?"
