[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone give me specific examples of emotional labor? The only thing I can think of is supporting a relative who is going through difficult times for whatever reason. Postcards, elaborate dinners, laundry and shopping sound like physical tasks. I guess there's the planning component, but how emotional is a to-do list, really?[/quote] I see references in the PPs to several documents, but I followed the article link that the MetaFilter posting appeared to be in reference to, and the things the author mentioned were: [list]listening to people[/list] [list]comforting people[/list] [list]advising people[/list] Mostly, being up in their personal business and not just up in it, but emotionally engaged in it. Which made her sound like a busybody/noseyparker to me.[/quote]
