What Women Who Prefer to Stay at Home Can Do With So Much Time in Their Hands
Career women envies mom who chose to stay at home and tend the kids – not because they cannot do it themselves but because Moms who chose to stay at home and watch the kids can afford to do such. However, such women envied career women as well. They long for more creative activities that will increase their feeling of self-worth and esteem.
Aside from sewing, keeping house and watching the kids, what can a woman who have spent most of her lifetime caring for her family do? What can she create that she can derive satisfaction from? Women are known to have the capacity for multi-tasking – meaning they can do things simultaneously successfully. Imagine how a woman cooks dinner while she keeps watch of the little children playing at the front yard, without any untoward incidents? Imagine how she manages to answer the phone while cooking?
Not to belittle the capacity of a man’s capability for such tasks, but when a man does answer the phone while cooking, two things may happen. Either a conversation that he remembers little about, especially if the caller wanted him to take note or remember to tell someone something important. Another is, he may remember all the facts of the phone call but end up burning the food he’s trying to cook. So, don’t ask if he tried to cook, when you are surprised to see that dinner was delivered from a restaurant, but he was able to remind you of that important phone call. Sounds familiar?
Some of the things that women excel in are those activities that require skills in arts and craft. This is why women who stay at home usually have time to organize photo albums and scrapbooks. But when they are done with almost everything at home, especially when kids have grown and can fend for themselves in terms of dressing, the woman is left with so much time in her hands. She will either start to look for ways to amuse herself like following her husband’s activities, which of course will irritate the husband.
Why don’t you give her a gift that will put her energies and creativity to work? Such gift can be from arts and crafts like scrapbook making and gift cards. If she have created almost everything imaginable inside the house, one great gift idea for her is a candle making kit. These kits usually come with instructions and are easy to follow. If one will have difficulty or is quite impatient with reading instructions, videos are also available both online and off line.
Though virtually the same like the arts and crafts, candle making gives more satisfaction to the creator. Like scrap books and albums or personalized greeting and gift cards, it provides an outlet for the creative energies of a person. The added feature of making your own product before decorating it, makes the art of candle making different from any endeavor that you have tried in terms of arts and craft making. Due to the difficulty and accident prone for kids of the candle making hobbies, this is advisable for women who have more time in their hands because the kids have grown up and are busy with their school or social life.
Candle making kits makes the art of making candles an easier task with items that are already available. If you will hear someone making candles as their hobby, you might even say to yourself that you won’t try that hobby because of the degree of its difficulty – but the wide array of candle making kits available make the task sound difficult but surprisingly easy and fulfilling pursuit.
