'we used to have intergenerational households where grandparents could help with chores' but also chores used to be. MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH harder. like that is actually a Pretty Big Deal historically that in the 1950s in particular household appliances got Way Fucking Better and the difference that made to women's empowerment. like yes there were intergenerational households in the Olden Days but also chores did take like. all day. a lot of the time. even WITH that.

#i assure you #in terms of like. chore enjoyability.#i would rather operate a washing machine on my own.#than wash clothing on a scrubber with my nanna there.#frankly sometimes Id rather my grandparents not be there at all honestly regardless of anything else #and I think it's sort of nice that I have the choice to do that #and that my everyday survivability doesnt rely on me NOT choosing that
