Seven habits of highly ineffective housewives.

First, there was the "Seven habits of highly effective people".

Closely followed was it's successor, "Seven Habits of highly effective families".

And now, introducing the more realistic version for all you gals out:

Including yours truly. Ahem.

- Social Media Addicts Anonymous.

Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram. "Oh I am going to get SO much done today. I might just have a quick catch up on Facebook  first while I have a cuppa." Famous. Last. Words. Yes, an outrageous social media addiction is essential to be an ineffective housewife.

- The Scarlett O'Hara Syndrome.

"Oh well, I'll think about that tomorrow!" See my point?

- The Pinterest Effect.

Food, fitness, housework. If only pinning those things actually got them done IRL. Le sigh.

- The "Mama's watchin' her stories" phenomenon.

Aided and abetted by such wonderful technology as the Foxtel iQ box or uTorrent. Allowing housewives everywhere to watch their stories whenever they damn well please!

- The best of intentions meets procrastination.

Housewives always have the best of intentions. It's just, well, not everything comes to fruition. Usually because shiny things distract us. Now, raise of hands - Who is guilty of abit of procrastination? The Scarlett Syndrome? WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'LL RAISE YOUR HAND LATER?!

- The "Throw it altogether" manoeuvre.

A special skill that requires the wife to bypass the all-important sorting phase of doing laundry and merely dumping everything into the washing machine. Towels with black. Red with white. Breast pads still stuck to bras. Niceee!

and the worst habit of them all ... 

- REPRODUCING! 

Because I ask you, was there ever a housewife who could boast a clean house and a gourmet meal on the table at 5pm when there's kids about?!

Are you a highly ineffective housewife too? What's your dirty little habit?
