You know, part of it came out of the grief and loss that I felt at the start of the pandemic.
As a writer, I had sort of nebulous deadlines, and I didn't get a regular paycheck or health insurance.
But my husband's job gave us that.
So I basically stopped writing.
And because childcare centers closed, I was taking care of my kids.
And I knew that that was the most important work I could be doing.
But it also...
I felt like I wasn't getting any recognition for it.
We were hearing about essential workers, healthcare workers, sanitation workers who are yes, essential, but we were never hearing about parents who were working 24 seven, trying to take care of their families, trying to keep communities safe.
And that's really where like, this is what I'm like, what I know you understand is that
domestic work mothering we do it to ourselves every day feeding ourselves taking a shower right without care work and domestic labor you know this is the work that makes all other work possible the idea that domestic labor is somehow less valuable than quote-unquote professional work
I just think it's a myth.
Yes.
This is so many, you know, we talk about this care crisis that was exposed in the pandemic, right?
When childcare centers and schools closed down, we were lost.
People didn't know what to do.
But many of us have always known that, you know, until your child is age six, in America, you're really on your own.
And there are many people who are choosing between, should I put my child in daycare or should I work?
Because it's really about the same amount of money.
But so studies have been done.
