housewives
A housewife (also known as a homemaker or a stay-at-home mother/mom/mum) is a woman whose role is running or managing her family's home—housekeeping, which includes caring for her children; cleaning and maintaining the home; making, buying and/or mending clothes for the family; buying, cooking, and storing food for the family; buying goods that the family needs for everyday life; partially or solely managing the family budget—and who is not employed outside the home (i.e., a career woman). The male equivalent is the househusband. Webster's Dictionary defines a housewife as a married woman who is in charge of her household. The British Chambers's Twentieth Century Dictionary (1901) defines a housewife as "the mistress of a household; a female domestic manager [...]". In British English, a small sewing kit is also sometimes called a huswif,: 115 housewife or hussif.In the Western world, stereotypical gender roles, particularly for women, were challenged by the feminist movement in the latter 20th century to allow women to choose whether to be homemakers or to have a career. Changing economics also increased the prevalence of two-income households.

Examples of housewives in a Sentence
Even though we had traded some emails and texts – Teri went to chef school right after ‘Housewives,’ I moved to Minnesota – we did stay in touch… but we realized we’d never seen each other, we’d never been in the same place physically since she drove away from my ghost in the front yard, but it’s one of those kinds of friendships – and I have this with Dean [Cain] from ‘Superman’ – where you don’t necessarily see each other all the time, or even talk all that often, but just know that if you needed something, we’re there for each other.
I seem to go through guys fairly quickly. I call them 'micro relationships' because as soon as I think something is up I sabotage and leave. I run away. So I thought, you know, 'Why not just go and see if I get anything from this?' i thought about not wanting to put my love life there out on camera, but let’s be clear I did ‘Housewives,’ everything is already out there so why not look for love on camera? What do I have to lose really? Nothing.
I have often been downcast, but never in despair I regard our hiding as a dangerous adventure, romantic and interesting at the same time. In my diary I treat all the privations as amusing. I have made up my mind now to lead a different life from other girls and, later on, different from ordinary housewives. My start has been so very full of interest, and that is the sole reason why I have to laugh at the humorous side of the most dangerous moments.
It’s not unforgivable but I think it’s going to take some good PR, look, you can’t compare Brian Williams and the ‘Housewives’ but everyone should be forgiven.
