2) No Housework
If youâre a homemaker and your work takes place in the home, a staycation can be even harder to take. All of the regular household chores still need to be taken care of and thereâs no housekeeping service to make the beds, bring fresh towels and restock the mini bar. Is it even possible for a homemaker to relax on a staycation? Yes, with a bit of discipline it is absolutely possible for a homemaker to relax on a âstaycation.â Our advice is to keep the household chores to an absolute minimum. Absolutely no cleaning is allowed (your house isnât going to fall down if you neglect to clean it for a week) and minimize time spent shopping and cooking. Buy a large amount of staple items before your âstaycationâ starts and eat out as much as possible, so you have few cooking and washing up duties. Also, do not do any laundry. Try to picture it like this — if you were away the chores would be piling up anyway.
