A mother’s loneliness is unique. She is met with the challenge of teaching and caring for her children but cannot connect with them on an adult level. Rather than the astute conversation she indulged in during her college years, she is reduced to reading nursery rhymes and using baby talk. When her kids are of the age to go to school, she parts with her daytime playmates and spends half the day in solitude. 

 Wives keep the homefires burning. By the time hubby can say, “Honey, I’m home!” there is a hot meal on the table and the kids have already been shuttled from point A to point B in the minivan. But, the 1950’s fairytale relationship between June and Ward Cleaver does not fit the modern couple: overworked men who return to the house in a foul mood, concerned about their jobs. Thus, they cast their female counterpart aside emotionally to stew in their own stress. Again, mom is left to mind the children on the weekends when the Mister goes to play golf with his buddies. She has every right be teed off. 
When the man brings home the bacon for a family, the housewife is typically considered to be a lucky woman. Forgotten in the popular glorified notion of the duties of the stay-at-home-mom is the self-sacrifice and the isolation. Housewives feel underappreciated by their families. Reaching out to friends seldom solves the problem because fellow housewives are busy keeping their own families together. Meanwhile, their childless friends continue to climb the corporate ladder, distancing themselves further and further from the concerns of a mommy. 

 And, finally, after years of sacrificing their skills and dreams for the unappreciative family they raised, the children move out and leave Dear Old Mom with an empty nest. The loneliness can be remedied, however, when she seeks a younger male companion. MutualArrangements.com can hook her up with a strapping young man for a day out – and they’ll both reap the benefits of those rainy day funds.
