something a ho absolutely cannot turn into

A woman who stays home to take care of the house, the kids, the husband and the pets. She works up a sweat, has anxiety attacks and burst into tears when a 2 year old says "no!" for the 100th time that day after having to picking up dog poop from the livingroom floor, washing 3 loads of laundry, washed all the dishes, went grocery shopping with 2 screaming kids, who get sick and throw up in the middle of the store. Then she comes home ,cleans up the kids, starts to make dinner with both kids hanging on her leg, only to have it burn. She recieves no thanks from anyone and gets no paycheck.

What a woman becomes when she has no job skills, no career aspirations, no confidence and no goals in life.

Someone that is unemployed an stays home all day doing nothing.

An unemployed and often uneducated woman. Because daytime television tells her, she believes that she has the "hardest job in the world." In her peanut brain, she never quite comprehends that women with REAL jobs perform the same tasks as housewives in ADDITION to going to an actual place of employment for 8+ hours per day. Housewives usually are extremely subservient to their husbands and tend to battle depression. They claim to be tired out from long days of playing with small children, making dinner, doing some minor cleaning, and watching lots of television. They will usually cry at the drop of a hat. After the children get older, they become a taxi service for taking kids to activities and friends' homes. Again, still a very easy life. Eventually, the kids leave the house and they spend their time going to book clubs and shit. Oh, and housewives almost invariable cheat when they get bored.
