American National No Housework Day

No Housework Day is one of those days you see on calendars on the Internet but don't know where it came from. It is always on April 7th. It is one day of the year when it is OK to do nothing in the house. Everybody has the day off from doing the household chores. It's OK to let the dishes and the washing pile up; it's no problem to let another layer of dust settle on top of the TV; and it's absolutely fine to leave the vacuum cleaner in its corner for the day. The laundry will be just fine in the basket until tomorrow. And as for cooking, make sure you have a home-delivery phone number handy. Or get yourself off to a restaurant. This is also a good day for those who never do anything around the house, who never lift a finger, to appreciate those who do the housework.

You could celebrate it a little differently; if you're not the person who normally does the housework, why not take over just for today? Or if you have an elderly neighbour, how about offering to help out with the chores on this No Housework Day?

What is housework, exactly? If you never do it, you probably never think about this. It is a lot of hard work and someone does it every single day. It starts while the rest of the house is still asleep. Next time you wake up, listen to see if you can hear the washing machine working or smell the coffee machine. It happens while you are still trying to open your eyes at the breakfast table. Then while you are at school, the breakfast dishes are magically cleaned, the tables wiped and the dishes all put in their place. You come home from school and the bath is clean, again. Your shirts are washed, ironed, and hanging in your closet, again. The toothpaste tube in the bathroom is never empty. Who does all this invisible housework?

A recent study conducted at the University of Michigan found that the average married American woman does 17 hours of housework per week! After a long day at school or work, housework is the last thing anyone wants to come home to do.

Doctors say that it is essential for people with busy lifestyles to relax. Relaxation can lower heart rate and blood pressure, reduce headaches, and improve concentration.

Celebrate National No Housework Day by ignoring the dirty dishes in the sink and the piles of laundry that need to be done and just relax. You deserve it!

American National No Housework Day
Американский национальный день без работы по дому

No Housework Day is one of those days you see on calendars on the Internet but don't know where it came from. It is always on April 7th. It is one day of the year when it is OK to do nothing in the house. Everybody has the day off from doing the household chores. It's OK to let the dishes and the washing pile up; it's no problem to let another layer of dust settle on the furniture; and it's absolutely fine to leave the vacuum cleaner in its corner for the day. The laundry will be just fine in the basket until tomor-row. And as for cooking, make sure you have a home-delivery phone number handy. Or get yourself off to a restaurant. This is also a good day for those who never do anything around the house, who never lift a finger, to appreciate those who do the housework.
День без работы по дому — один из тех дней, которые вы видите в календарях в Интернете, но не знаете, откуда он взялся. Он всегда приходится на 7 апреля. Это один из дней в году, когда можно ничего не делать по дому. У всех есть выходной от домашних дел. Можно позволить посуде и мытью накапливаться; нет проблем позволить очередному слою пыли осесть на мебели; и совершенно нормально оставить пылесос в углу на весь день. Белье будет прекрасно лежать в корзине до завтра. А что касается готовки, убедитесь, что у вас есть под рукой номер телефона службы доставки еды на дом. Или отправляйтесь в ресторан. Это также хороший день для тех, кто никогда ничего не делает по дому, кто никогда и пальцем не пошевелит, чтобы поблагодарить тех, кто выполняет работу по дому.

You could celebrate it a little differently; if you're not the person who normally does the housework, why not take over just for today? Or if you have an elderly neighbour, how about offering to help out with the chores on this No Housework Day?
Вы можете отпраздновать его немного по-другому; если вы не тот человек, который обычно делает работу по дому, почему бы не взять ее на себя хотя бы на сегодня? Или если у вас есть пожилой сосед, как насчет того, чтобы предложить помощь по хозяйству в этот День без работы по дому?

What is housework, exactly? If you never do it, you probably never think about this. It is a lot of hard work and someone does it every single day.
Что такое работа по дому? Если вы никогда ее не делаете, вы, вероятно, никогда об этом не задумываетесь. Это очень тяжелая работа, и кто-то делает ее каждый день.

It starts while the rest of the house is still asleep. Next time you wake up, listen to see if you can hear the washing machine working or smell the coffee machine. It happens while you are still trying to open your eyes at the breakfast table. Then while you are at school, the breakfast dishes are magically cleaned, the tables wiped and the dishes all put in their place. You come home from school and the bath is clean, again. Your shirts are washed, ironed, and hanging in your closet, again. The toothpaste tube in the bathroom is never empty. Who does all this invisible housework?
Она начинается, когда все остальные в доме еще спят. В следующий раз, когда вы проснетесь, прислушайтесь, слышите ли вы, как работает стиральная машина, или чувствуете ли запах кофемашины. Это происходит, когда вы еще пытаетесь открыть глаза за завтраком. Затем, пока вы в школе, посуда после завтрака волшебным образом очищается, столы вытираются, а вся посуда расставляется по местам. Вы приходите домой из школы, а ванна снова чистая. Ваши рубашки постираны, выглажены и снова висят в шкафу. Тюбик зубной пасты в ванной никогда не пустеет. Кто выполняет всю эту невидимую работу по дому?

A recent study conducted at the University of Michigan found that the average married American woman does 17 hours of housework per week! After a long day at school or work, housework is the last thing anyone wants to come home to do.
Недавнее исследование, проведенное в Мичиганском университете, показало, что среднестатистическая замужняя американка тратит на работу по дому 17 часов в неделю! После долгого дня в школе или на работе домашние дела — это последнее, что кто-то хочет делать, приходя домой.

Doctors say that it is essential for people with busy lifestyles to relax.
Врачи говорят, что людям с напряженным образом жизни необходимо расслабиться.

Relaxation can lower heart rate and blood pressure, reduce headaches, and improve concentration.
Расслабление может снизить частоту сердечных сокращений и артериальное давление, уменьшить головные боли и улучшить концентрацию.

Celebrate National No Housework Day by ignoring the dirty dishes in the sink and the piles of laundry that need to be done and just relax. You deserve it!
Отпразднуйте Национальный день без домашних дел, не обращая внимания на грязную посуду в раковине и горы белья, которое нужно перестирать, и просто расслабьтесь. Вы этого заслуживаете!
