some work in the home is more valuable than other work, isn;t it? or is it all one flat rate?
for instance, im in charge of all vomit, always have been? isnt that charged out ata higher rate?i hate cleaning vomit.
also i ahve always been in charge of everything toilet related. i once almost threw up myself after a particularly horrible toilet event. but i plunged forward. how much is that worth? same as like, dusting? a year of dusting? a day?
i was also in charge of clipping infant fingernails because for some reason it freaked my wife out. hwoever, i completely enjoyed it. not sure why? is it valued at what she wouldve paid someone to do it because it was so weirdly freaky to her to cut her childrens little tiny nails, or shoudl it be billed out at zero, because for me it was a hoot? i just love cutting their tiny little nails. i also love giving them baths?
does the fact that there is pleasure involved lower the wage? if your spouse SEES you ahveing a good time, does it move it in the spouses eyes into the nonwork column, or maybe lower perceived wage column? is ay yes.
thats why i have always contended that it is important to appear to be struggling and vaguely disgruntled at all times, or oyull be perceived as a slacker. never be seen as happy.
work outside the home is extremely easy to value; as there is a wage attached to it…
