So this just happened.
Idiot: So what do you do?
Me: I’m a mum.
Idiot: So you’re a housewife?
Me: I don’t really like that term. Makes me sound like I do nothing all day (Not entirely PC but we’ll get to that later)
Idiot: Housewives are extremely busy. I dont know what youre talking about. You modern women all look down upon housewives because they’re uneducated, look after the kids and do mom stuff, things that yall frown upon because you glorify high powered corporate jobs, living and travelling ovrseas and the modelling industry
Me: Hello? I am a housewife. I just said that I don’t like that term. For exactly the same reasons you’ve just cited.
Idiot: Hahaha! Get used to it! [You] get married to an ang moh (Caucasian) and be his trophy wife that sits at home all day and looks pretty for him when he gets back home. geez.
What???? I tell people that I’m a housewife and they say “Wow! You’ve got an easy life!”. I say I don’t like the term “housewife”, they call me a snob and then turn around and say I don’t do anything all day!! I can’t win!
