but what do I know, I was born in the middle of WWII. Back then I think all this unpaid work was called raising a family and not actually a burden.
The Burden of Unpaid Work is a Barrier for Mothers in the Paid Labor Force
A 2018 analysis showed that across the world, women perform more than three-quarters (76.2%) of unpaid care work—including looking after children, spouses, partners, or other family members.10

It is sad. Pretty routine things are now treated like they are some kind of major ordeal. “Unpaid work” – I mowed the lawn this afternoon. It was hot as heck and I sweated like a pig, but the lawn needed to be mowed. I’m not paying a landscaper to do something I can do myself. Oh, I cooked dinner tonight – no take-out or personal chef. More of that unpaid work…Life is just like working in the salt mines!

“Mothers in the Paid Labor Force”
When I was a kid, there were very few of those, even in poorer families.
When the wife and I were both working, I was king of the outside work and a helper inside. The wife was the opposite.
Now there is virtually no outside work (condo) and I do a lot more inside. The biggest change is we pay for weekly housecleaning now.
