Bored Housewives

With the children pretty much self-sufficient and the household is decorated, often clean and organized, what more is there really to do for the bored housewife?  She has to find something to do.

Many bored housewives become this way because they don't bother to do things that make them feel good.  Rather, they look to others and their current surroundings to rescue them from feelings of boredom, good luck.  Talking to relatives and friends get old, home upgrades are stressful and expensive, and the newness of purchases grows old quickly.  The bored housewife must find what interests her and it just might be going outside of the home to find out.

The thought of leaving the comfort of one's home may scare some, because these housewives have grown accustomed to being "kept" women.  Their husbands, mothers or possibly grandparents have encouraged them to be at home for any number of reasons. Some men don't mind partners being at home because they are insecure and jealous.  They fear that if their beautiful wives find employment, become independent, and do other things for their selves, the marriage just might be threatened.  However, if the bored housewife doesn't come out of her shell when she innately wants more out of life, the marriage will still have its share of challenges.

When one is bored, one is idle.  She may do and say things she shouldn't.  The housewife might take risks with her money and body to rid herself of bored feelings.  She might even consider leaving her family if emotions of boredom persist.  Although at times, we all can resist change, when you are bored, you find yourself being open to it.  You start thinking, "What more should I do with my life?  Where can I go to feel fulfilled?  What more do I need to do to feel content?"

If you or someone you know is a bored housewife, encourage them to utilize their talents to do more with their lives other than be at home worried about family, friends, etc.
