Shouldn't they file reports detailing every minute they spend during the days at home to evaluate productivity? don't they have benchmarks and milestones to meet? don't they have projects in addition to daily tasks? what's going on?

NO! NO TPS reports for homemakers!
I thought we already established that less paperwork was one of the perks.
You can get me a cup of coffee, though. Black.

As a homemaker.....productivity is proven in your children, spouse and home: are they clean? are they dressed appropriately (clean and mended)? are they fed nutritious food? Is you bank account in the black or in the red? Is your paperwork (insurance forms, manuals/warranties, monthly bills, vital documents) organized and up-to-date?
Benchmarks and milestones: helping the family save money to pay off debt; prepare little ones for school; go for weeks/months without take-out; celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, job promotions, first steps, no diapers....
Projects include: keeping the neighborhood safe (I keep an eye on everyone and their pets!); setting up birthday parties/get togethers; taking classes online/regular college for a degree AND obtaining it; volunteering at the school, church, etc.; remodeling the home (DIY) for equity and enjoyment.
And keep on top of cooking, general clean-up, laundry, dispensing meds, take the dog out, balance the checkbook, update the investment portfolio, wash the car, bake the weekly stash of cookies AND answer your question on Yahoo! Answers.
Now I need to go polish my pearls, whilst I look over my paperwork! (Donna Reed was my idol!)

Actually, it is not a bad idea. In case of divorce with the weekly reports she could get better compensation or money for delayed payments of the services offered.
Thanks for the idea!!!

That's the reason some women become homemakers; they don't want to deal with all the paperwork. I personally like dealing with paperwork, which is partly why I'm not becoming a homemaker.

As a homemaker and mommy of two, I do have projects, and I do inform my husband of what I do all day. You obviously aren't married.

No. Why is it your business what I do in my home. The only person who has a right to know what I do in my home is my husband and father in law and Wali if he asks me.

I don't know about anyone else, but I get loud verbal reports from my wife constantly. I don't need them written down.
