The
time it takes women to do the
unpaid domestic work around the house.
(WARNING: iminent sarcasm)
-Some kids and husbands think the tiolet, bath and hand-basin are all self-cleaning mechanisms.
-Have no idea the amount of time involved in separating clothing into whites and colors for washing, then scrubing stain remover into hard stains, soaking the required time, then hanging cothes on the line, and taking them off, or going back and forth to the dryer to check whether they are done, then folding them, then placing each family members pile of folded clothers into the right draws in their room, then ironing the clothes that need ironing. No. Clothes don't take that much time to keep clean and folded and ironed and away in draws/cupboards handy for use at all.
-And then of course it is very fortunate that the cupboards and fridge have new fresh food magically appear in them every few days, the bathroom cupboards are always stocked with everyone's required hygiene products, and the cupboard never runs out of cleaning agents, the kitchen draw never runs out of pens, paperclips, note-paper, sticky-tape, stapler/spare staples, torch batteries etc, and the medicine cabinet magically always has sufficient bandaids, antiseptic cream, anti-acid medication, pain relieving medication etc, again which requires next to no time to plan, buy and pack away so no one else in the family has to go to a grocery store/drug store and inconvenience their planned daily activities.
-Won't bother to mention the underestimated amount of time it takes to plan and cook dinners, breakfasts and packed lunches, taking into account all family members likes and dislikes, health, favourite treats and convenience.
