Are you a bored housewife?

[Cehrabehra]

I''m an overwhelmed housewife.... I come here to escape from the reality that the next 5 weeks of my life are going to be hell!!!!

I knew from previous threads that most of us were very educated, so I am not surprised by responses yet. How about DF? Is he a bored house husband? Who else would have time for all those questions?

not bore but POOR uneducated house husband!!

 

[zhuzhu]

Even if I do become a housewife one day, I don''t think I will ever be bored.... Time is never enough for the list of things I want to do!

 

[DivaDiamond007]

I work nearly full time (35 hours a week) as a busy bankruptcy paralegal, am married, have a 16 month old son and a dog to take care of. Bored? Hardly. PS is a hobby of mine and a way to relax - although I''m guilty of posting while at work

 

[Kaleigh]

I never thought of myself as a houewife, I hate that term. Yes am married, but not to the house!!! I am too busy to be bored. I worked for years, while raising 2 kids, and being a caretaker. No time to sit and eat bon bons, but I do make time to watch Oprah!!! LOL!!!

PS is my water cooler as well.

Sometimes I FEEL like a bored housewife....

...and then I realize I have almost no domestic skills of which to speak, and I have about a 10 foot high stack of notes to read through before my next medical school exam.

I use PS to relax and procrastinate. Oh, and learn of course!

I did honestly consider being a stay at home mom at one point. But then realized that if I only want 1 or 2 kids, and if the kids turn out anything like me and my husband, they'll be independent and smart alecky by the time they are 5 and won't need us for much. And then I'd just be bored and probably annoying the heck out of my kids because I'd have nothing else to focus my project-building energy on, haha.

I love Lorelei''s answer. Yup . . . count me among the bored. Not bored because there is nothing to do. Bored because I need some mental stimulation!!! Glad I found you all!! It''s fun to have something to obsess over!! My husband may not be so glad however He he!!

 

[AdiS]

Sigh... I wish I was. But no, I''m the exhausted general manager of an investment company. I post at work too, when I have a few free moments.

 

[monarch64]

Dammt--STILL can''t claim housewife status...still can''t claim boredom...STILL can''t claim anything but happiness! Wth is the point of this question???

 

[sba771]

Not a wife and I work full time...I will say PS saved me when we first moved here and we had no friends, didn''t speak the language and I didn''t have a job....wait we still have no friends and don''t speak German....but not bored.

 

[elrohwen]

Uhh, kind of. I joined PS when I was working 40-50 hours per week and travelling a lot, so I certainly wasn't a bored housewife at the time! Now that I'm not working there anymore, I guess you could classify me as a bored housewife

(though honestly I'm not that bored!)

 

[risingsun]

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and am able to practice independently in my state. I am also permitted to accept third party payments. Unfortunately, I am on extended medical leave from my position and am bored out of my mind

I''m still undergoing evaluation and treatment and find PS a wonderful place to spend some...err...massive amounts...of time. Before my medical leave, I also spent a lot of time on PS. It''s my favorite online forum

 

[that_someone_special]

Guess you could call me that... more of a "bored housefiance" But trust me, there isn''t a lack of things to do around here. I welcome PS as a nice distraction.

not a housewife but I rarely post at home.

I''m what you call a bored assistant

 

[soocool]

Boredom is not allowed in our household!

The point WAS that another poster on RT went to a BM and was told the information online was false because only "bored housewives" post on such forums. Shopping at a BM was much more reliable. So how many of the posters on PS are bored housewives?

Oh yeah, I was looking for someone in the same boat as me. Bored... yes, but at my office, not at home. I have plenty to do when I get home actually haha.

I''m still in the process of going from an hourly employee to full time staff so while I work 40 hours a week there''s about 4 big responsibilities that come with my job but that they can''t actually let me do until I''m officially a staff member... so I''m currently very bored. My job tends to be like an amusement park, I spend a few hours standing in line (i.e. sitting on pricescope cause I have nothing to do) and then all of a sudden I''m strapped in going 80 mph (i.e. one of our machines breaks and I''m running around like a crazy person trying to fix it). So I use pricescope to fill those gaps.

BTW there is a purple house by me that I never noticed before and one of these days I am going to take a photo of it and post it for you.

 

[FrekeChild]

Bored Psych undergrad senior. I can''t wait to not be bored anymore!

 

[Tuckins1]

No way! I am a full time teacher, I exercise almost every day, I clean the house, go grocery shopping, spend time with my family and friends and I am about to start on my Masters degree..... So, no, I am not a bored housewife!!!

 

[arjunajane]

nope! Firstly not a wife; a full time student here who also works 25-30 hours week at my University in a very interesting field.
Busy, yes. Stressed, sometimes. But bored? Well, not with PS around, lol!

 

[Lew Lew]

I prefer the term "domestic engineer".

 

[D&T]

ummm yep really bored

Two kids, work over 40 hours a week, teach sunday school and sometimes I feel like a single parent while DH is in school and I do most posting at work, rarely at home

[kas baby]

definitely not bored or a housewife. Full time student with lots of things to do! study study study! PS is my ''break'' so my brain doesn''t explode. I went to bed last night and could not stop thinking about physics

this is when I know I''ve spent too much time doing hw non-stop

 

[Callisto]

Ugh I am extra bored at work today and keep thinking of this thread. I''m sure all the housewives on this forum are probably way busier than I am...

Any suggestions besides pricescope to amuse myself?
