I know this isn't the 1950s, but...
My high school didn't offer Home Ec classes. I don't know how to cook much more than Kraft Mac and Cheese...even then I botch it if I don't follow the instructions with measuring cups and all.
I can't sew more than a button on. I am terrible at getting out tough stains and tend to iron in more wrinkles than anything.
I suck at budgeting. My idea of balancing the checkbook is checking online to see how much we have...or avoiding that altogether by using my credit card.
I can't handle planning meals for a whole week, let alone grocery shopping that far ahead without throwing out half of it from going bad (or eating it all the first two days).
I get overwhelmed easily when I see a pile of dishes, smudges on the walls and floors and remember the laundry piles in the laundry room. When I'm overwhelmed I do what any good woman does, I grab the ice cream and turn on some reality tv (if the kids are awake we leave the problem/home and return in time for naps, dinner etc)
I fail at keeping a clean house and clean kids (dried boogers on the cheeks is in right now, yes?) with a smile on. I cannot maintain two kids and a house on my own while daddy works....especially in high heels with makeup on and perfect hair! If you can, feel free to come over here and do it for me.
