And it's gendered.

It's gendered.

Right.

Yeah.

No.

In the time use data, we just see women doing so much more of this caregiving labor, just drastically more of this caregiving labor.

And it's even when

It's the in-laws, even when it's taking care of his parents, the women are doing a lot of that labor.

So that is, it's not just, it's not in your head.

It's not a feeling.

It's backed up by the time use data that women just spend more time on this.

Yeah, I think of it, I talk about this period in life that's like a squeeze, right, which is when, you know, our kids are young.

And I think the aging parents create like a second squeeze on women.

And it is because of systemic failures because we don't have real support in society to be able to like provide long-term care to our parents or assist us with that, that it ends up falling on kind of individuals to close that gap.

And so, yes, it is going to affect your time in the labor market.

And that's where one of the things I try to do in the book is to say, even if the systems don't change – because I can, like, go on and on about how I want systems to change.

But even if the systems don't change, I want to empower women to, like, get back in the driver's seat of their own lives.

And you do that by really recognizing –

It's a 24-hour day.

That's the constraint.
