- I think the wages for housework makes sense logically, but is not practical. I mean, where would the money come from? the government? It would make taxes go up even more and would be something else the government could tax. I also think it still reinforces the idea that it's "women's work" too.
- I don't know how I feel about hiring a main though. I never saw a problem with it because it allowed working women to focus more on their careers. I mean, regardless of whether you hire a maid or not, she is going to find another low-paying job somewhere else. Maybe you just insist on a male maid or treat them very fairly. It's a problem with no easy answer. I guess too you could just divide the housework up evenly between you and your spouse.
- Interesting about the size of houses increase. I'd heard that before too. And the part about people spending less time at home too. I feel that is very true and kind of sad. Families are so busy- they don't spend much time together and the bonds of family are not very strong.
- I totally agree about people not knowing how to clean. They're slob. I live with a girl who admits she didn't know how to clean because her mom didn't teach her. I thought that was crazy! My mom made me help clean from a young age. I hated it, but it taught me good values and that if you live with a group of people, you help contribute to maintaining the household. It's just something that has to be done.
