Gemma Chalmers, irritated with the age old belief that housewives sit around relaxing and chatting with their friends all day, decided to put together a time-lapse video of her day. So before she even began her video, her little boy had broken two glasses, then she proceeded to shower and dress herself and then dress her little boy. In the video, she is seen playing roles of teacher, nurse, art director, and so forth. During the day, she also read to her child, picked up laundry, washed dishes, tidied her home, took her son to play, folded laundry and organized it, wrapped a gift, ate lunch, fed her son lunch and made dinner. Overall, she had a busy day and only sat to eat, re-organize, and drive. This banishes the idea that stay at home “housewives” do nothing.

Key Takeaways:

• One stay-at-home mom decided to share what her typical day envolved, a reminder that stay-at-home moms are not lazy as the stereotype suggests.
• She recorded her day and posted the time-lapse video to her Facebook showing all the roles she had to play throughout the day.
• The video goes to show how stay-at-home parents may not work for pay outside of the home but what they do throughout the day is clearly work.

“After getting fed up with her partner assuming she just “hung out all day,” Gemma Chalmers, a stay-at-home mother of one, shared a time-lapse video of what her typical day looks like.”
