[quote=Anonymous]I’m not a millennial.  I’m 43 and I’ll chime in.  Have you ever seen that cartoon with men and women on a race track? The men are clear, but for the women to complete the race, they must clear hurdles.  The hurdles are cooking, laundry, cleaning, etc.   These are real jobs and it takes real labor to do them.   Raising a child is also a job.  Having a job is also a job.  As women, we are constantly peddled this myth that we can and should be able to do all three jobs well.  As a working mom, I dread that excruciating moment of the day when I come in the door after preschool pickup.  We are all tired, hungry , and cranky.  But everyone looks to mom to fire up second shift.  For me, hiring help has been a way to ease that transition- I walk in the door and the chores are done and dinner is made.   I can actually enjoy my evening.   I don’t know op, the grind is hard for some people.  It’s hard for me.  So I paid someone to make it easier.  She needs the work and it helps her, so it’s win-win.
