How is it like to be a plain housewife?

i've been to work since before i got married so i didn't experience being really just a plain housewife. during weekends, i personally do the household chores and sometimes i complained about it. well, no one had asked me to do that. it's just voluntary. i can't imagine being a plain housewife all my wife. i know it's a nobel work but sometimes one tends to forget about herself because of the never-ending chores at home. how is it like to be really at home 24/7?
