Behind the scene of gender bias
<p>Being at home is frustrating: I clean but the only thing seen is the remaining filth, I tidy up but the only thing seen is the remaining mess, I cook but the only thing mentioned is what’s missing or what went wrong, I organise but the only thing seen is the leftover chaotic part, I do groceries but the only thing that will be mentioned is what I forgot. Being a mom at home is a reverse bullshit job, it’s doing something meaningful treated like it has no value. The whole logistic of the house and its inhabitants revolves around me, like a small enterprise and still, the feedback is that I’m doing nothing.</p>
<p>So I understand better than anyone else the frustration and exasperation of my mother in law, when her sons says “I have a job”, “I have to work”, which in substance mean sitting behind a computer and being overpaid for it. Work is work. An overachiever will always be an overachiever, whether it’s paid or not. Same goes for a shirker, and I’ve seen a lot of those when I had a “paid job”.</p>
