This challenge is not meant to be offensive in anyway shape or form, it does not reflect my beliefs on what a women's place should be. Please take that into consideration whilst reading about this challenge.

Intro & Rules:

Intro:
Your sim has just gotten married she (or he) does not have a career they are fully dependent on their husband's (or wife's) pay check. Your sim stays home and cleans, cooks and looks after the children. Your husband expects you to be the perfect housewife because that is one of the reasons why he married you.

Rules & Responsibilities:
1. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner should be cooked everyday, there should be no left overs and No ordering pizza's on weekdays and Sundays. (You may go out for dinner or order pizza on Friday and Saturdays only!) Your husband should never have to cook.
- Try took cook dinner 1 - 2 hours before your husband comes home so that the meal is already prepared when he comes in. If you don't have any children as of yet lunch should be put into the inventory of your husband as it will count as his "packed lunch". When you do have children you will still have to make "packed lunches" for your husband and you ca either make "packed lunches" for your children or give them food when they come home.

2. Children, Babies ect.. Your baby should always be cared for, they should always be fed clean and happy. Your husband should not have to feed or change them, they should just be able to interact to build relationship with the child.

3. Keeping a Home. Home training, your sim should have the neat trait and be family oriented she must clean the house at least once a day, the bathrooms and kitchen should ALWAYS be clean there should never be plates left on the table. Your husband should never have to clean the house unless you are heavily pregnant (third trimester)

Hosting:

- For every child you have they should all have birthday parties hosted by you, at your home or a venue of your choice. A cake should be made BY YOU! The child's friends must be invited.
- You should try to have dinner parties every other Friday inviting, you and your husband's good friends all food should be prepared by you. Your home should be spotless and your house must be decorated accordingly.
- Try to have Holiday parties often, Halloween, Christmas ect..


Extras:

- This challenge can be played with a male or female.
- You should try to master all cooking skills, baking, gourmet cooking, home style cooking. (You may cheat if you want to.)
- If you have get to together you may also make a club for married sim wives to get together and discuss "wife stuff" during your free time.
- By the end of the challenge you must at least have 3 children that makes it harder because you are cleaning up after more sims.
- You may earn extra money by painting or gardening,
- You can have an affair to spice things up and make the challenge of balancing your life at home and your lover harder.


This challenge is not to offend anyone so please do not think I am trying to enforce any kind of stereotype.
If your sim has a daughter she will be the next "Perfect Housewife".

Here's an example of how a scenario would play out. This is what you want.

- Your husband goes to work at 9 right now you have one daughter she goes to school for 8.
- You get up at 4 to brew coffee and to prepare breakfast and "packed lunches".
- Your husband has gone to work and your daughter to school.
- You clean the table and the kitchen, you then check the bathrooms to see if they need to be cleaned. If you garden tend your garden.
- It is now the mid afternoon, your daughter should be home soon so you prepare her a nice lunch.
- You also make sure she has started her homework.
- You clean up, and start to prepare dinner.
- Dinner is prepared and your husband arrives.
- You greet your husband with an embrace and a kiss.
- You then call everyone to dinner and dine.
- You clean up once again and then you are done for the day.

* After every meal there should be no left overs you must clean up meals with left overs.*
*"Packed lunches" should be placed in the inventory of the desired sim before they go to school or work*

For some people I know this challenge could get boring pretty fast but doing your research on gender equality and the typical "housewife role" may just keep your interest.

This challenge is not to offend anyone so please do not think I am trying to enforce any kind of stereotype.
