My kids don’t have a maid. They have a mom.
I’m not suggesting my kids should be my cleaning crew. I wouldn’t feel good about laying down with my feet up while they did all the work. But wespend a little time every day making it an enjoyable place to be. They won’t live here forever, and these are necessary skills for adulthood. They won’t know how to do laundry or dishes, sweep and mop, pick up after themselves,
, partners and even co-workers, they need to know how to be respectful of shared space and pick up after themselves. One thing my mother-in-law did really well was teach my husband how to pick up after himself and do basic household tasks. My mom did the same for me. We both know how to do every chore properly, and my husband does everything I do around here. He doesn’t see housework as “woman’s work” or even “stay-at-home-partner’s work.” He sees it as everyone’s work. He doesn’t expect me to do the work of a paid cleaner. I’m not the maid.

Teachers Will Not Be Getting Those Free Draper James Dresses After AllOn April 2, Reese Witherspoon’s clothing line Draper James—a kind of grown-up Laura Ashley that seems designed exclusively for Southern country club members—announced that it would be giving away free dresses to teachers. The decision was reportedly a thank you gesture, inspired by staffers’ newfound realization that teachers’ jobs are difficult after a couple of weeks spent wrangling their own children amid covid-19 school closures. But what the company, comprised of just 30 employees, didn’t seem to realize is that there are three million teachers in America who didn’t immediately understand that they were entering a raffle, not a giveaway.\n
