Some women are spending a weekend at Mother's Camp,a camp with no husbands(丈夫)and children.
At Mother's Camp,a woman has room for herself.She can sleep,read or watch TV,and no one will trouble her.No children will ask, "Mum,what's for dinner?" No husband will say, "Oh,dear,I can't find any clean socks." About 50% of women in the US work outside the home.These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework.
In the US,working wives(妻子)do about three quarters of housework.Husbands say they can help.But when they cook the rice,they even can't find the pans(鍋).They ask so many questions and finally wives will find it is better to do the job themselves.
They go to camp just to get a rest from housework.For two days they don't cook,they don't clean,and they don't look after their children and husbands.What do they do?They enjoy warm,sunny sunshine,walking,fishing or boating on the lake and singing songs around the campfire.They relax away from home.
