Homemaking is an umbrella-term that entails
all activities that go into maintaining an efficient household and successful
running of a house, which is the site for family life. Housekeeping brings to
focus concerns regarding healthy accommodation, nutritious food, financial
management and equally importantly, a congenial atmosphere for mental
well-being. The homemaker or housekeeper, whether a male novice or a female
specialist, has a big responsibility to carry out and cannot afford to miss out
on certain basic dos and don’ts.
Do’s
·
A
good homemaker must make sure that the household and the members present in it have
the availability of sufficient sunlight and fresh air. If the structure of the
house is a problem and does not permit adequate ventilation, it should be made
sure that a section of the house is open (a balcony or garden) where children
and elderly members at least can have access to their daily requirement of an
open sky.
·
Healthy
eating habits and wholesome nourishment are the most basic and major
prerequisites to a well-run home. The food-related needs must be of prime
concern, and it is very necessary that all meals be on time and wholesome in
terms of nutrition. A daily dose of protein, essential vitamins, fluids and
roughage must be taken extreme care of.
·
Since
a home is synonymous to comfort and convenience, an efficiently-run household
must have all basic amenities at hand such as a well-equipped kitchen-unit, first-aid,
basic home appliances, 24 hours communication source (internet and cell phones)
in case of emergencies et al. All these come together for an unhindered and cosy
living.
Don’ts
·
The
biggest and foremost don’t for a homemaker is unhygienic living conditions. All
efforts to run a home well are wasted if hygiene and cleanliness are not taken
care of. It entails not just neatness and uncluttering, but clean and medically
sound living condition. The habituated space must be routinely swept and
mopped, disinfected and dusted for the physical well-being of the members.
·
The
water and sanitation facilities must not be overlooked as being of subsidiary
importance. Improper sanitation can become a bane for the members living in the
house. Sewage and waste disposal in the right and proper manner helps curb the
possibilities of sickness manifold.
·
Financial management must not be overlooked, because in all
truth, all the rest depends on it.
Something that is most often overlooked in
the hustle-bustle of daily chores and errands, and which ironically should be a
matter of grave consideration is the mental aspect of well-being in a house. A
home is much more than just about food, shelter and clothing. You know a home
is truly healthy and congenial when it has the essentials of peace, positivity
and emotional stability. This can be achieved by inducing good values and
discipline into the atmosphere of the house. This intangible yet highly crucial
dimension to ‘good housekeeping’ must not be overlooked. You’ll find more
