You still have to clean the home (manual stuff, like mopping/scrubbing/vaccuming/sweeping/dusting, etc) and you still have to cook and clean up when done, etc.
I consider being a homemaker a full-time job, regardless if there are things you can do to make it easier.
I personally hate housework. If I was a housewife, that aspect of it would make me miserable. If I was a housewife, I'd want to be rich enough to pay someone to do it for me. lol

Of course I am unsure of how hard it is in Japan to look after the home but here in UK it is not a full time job at all compared to the past when it ws truly HARD.
HOusework here is a doddle compared to the war years and the period I grew up in.
Japanese have their futons to air? how do they clean their tatami mats? from what I have gleaned is that most houses are small-- with not much clutter?
I have no idea if that is general of course.
I am willing to be informed of the truth for what shall we call the average household.
A lot may depend on how house proud a person is and how many are in the home.
But the important time spent with young children. How young are children when going to official nurseries I wonder-- starting their schooling?
children/pets? Umm, are pets allowed inside the home?
If there are several children in the home?
