The washing machine broke down.\r\n\r\nSo, there I was\u2014sleeves rolled up, hands deep in soapy water. I hadn\u2019t washed clothes by hand in years, except maybe the occasional lingerie. My \u201cold school\u201d laundry moment felt like stepping into a time capsule. I remembered the Washman who used to pick up and drop off my clothes each week. I remembered dry-cleaning nearly everything else.\r\n\r\nAnd then my mother\u2019s voice came to me.\r\n<blockquote>\u201cA woman needs to know how to do housework. Even if you can afford help, what happens the day they don\u2019t show up?\u201d<\/blockquote>\r\nAt the time, I thought: <em>You wait until they resume. What else?<\/em> But here I was, years later, confronting the very thing I had been avoiding all my adult life.\r\n<h2>A Life Lived Everywhere But the Kitchen<\/h2>\r\nI\u2019ve done it all\u2014career girl, global traveller, aid worker, government liaison, missionary, student in a foreign land. I\u2019ve moved through boardrooms and briefing rooms with ease. But I had never fully immersed myself in one role: homemaker.\r\n\r\nBefore marriage, I lived the dream. A Washman for laundry. A house help for everything else. I didn\u2019t cook. I didn\u2019t mop. I didn\u2019t market. Even after marriage, I remained somewhat insulated\u2014until pregnancy made it clear that help was a necessity, not a luxury. We hired a Nanny-Housekeeper, and she became part of the furniture for 13 years.\r\n\r\nAnd I? I stayed focused on my career.\r\n<h2>Leaving It All\u2014Then Coming Back<\/h2>\r\nWhen I retired early to focus on family, I imagined leisure: gym mornings, poolside lunches, weekly massages. It was blissful\u2014for about six months. Then boredom hit hard.\r\n\r\nSo I chased another dream\u2014a doctorate abroad. But visa challenges brought me back home.\r\n\r\nTo fill the void, I launched a website and began writing. Two years later, the thought returned:\r\n<blockquote><em>Why do you keep running from your home?<\/em><\/blockquote>\r\nI argued with myself. I <em>did<\/em> take care of my home\u2014by managing people who did the actual work. Did I have to scrub floors or haggle in the market to prove anything?\r\n<h2>The Fear Behind the Mop<\/h2>\r\nIt wasn\u2019t laziness. I knew <em>how<\/em> to clean, cook, and shop. What I feared was what it represented: a loss of identity, the beginning of decline into the type of woman I never wanted to become.\r\n\r\nI once told my fianc\u00e9 (now husband):\r\n<blockquote>\u201cI will never be the woman who drags through Mile 12 in muddy boots to save \u20a6200. If that\u2019s your idea of a good wife, tell me now.\u201d<\/blockquote>\r\nBless him, he stayed. And so began our life\u2014with help.\r\n\r\nThe one thing I never did? Go to the market. That was a non-negotiable.\r\n<h2>Thinking Out Loud: The Diva Awakens<\/h2>\r\nThe day I told a friend I wanted to become a domestic diva, I surprised myself.\r\n\r\nI didn\u2019t have a plan. Just a burning desire to face the one thing that scared me: <em>housework<\/em>.\r\n\r\nNot because I couldn\u2019t do it, but because it echoed my mother\u2019s teachings. Her relentless emphasis on chores. Her belief that womanhood was proven with a broom, a pot, and a spotless home.\r\n\r\nMaybe I avoided it all these years for one reason:\r\n<blockquote><em>I didn\u2019t want her to be right.<\/em><\/blockquote>\r\nSo now, I\u2019m learning. Slowly. Rewriting what domesticity means for me. Not as a fallback. Not as failure. But as power reclaimed.\r\n\r\nI\u2019m learning to see the home not as a prison, but as a canvas. A space where I can bring intention, beauty, and purpose. I\u2019m not trading ambition for apron strings. I\u2019m expanding the meaning of womanhood on my own terms.\r\n\r\nI am becoming a domestic diva\u2014and I\u2019m proud of it.\r\n\r\nRead more <a href=\"https:\/\/feelnubia.org.uk\/?s=domestic+diva\">Domestic Diva<\/a>\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:post-content --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<sup>Ovie Farraday is a wife and mother of five (including 2 teenagers and a pre-teen) living in a sub-Saharan West African suburb.\u00a0 She is married to an Architect and entrepreneur.
