Here’s a reminder that the 40 hour work week was intended to have a partner at home, to take care of the housework, errands, bills, etc while the employee was at work. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and like you don’t have enough time in the weekend, it’s because the weekend was supposed to be free. But since wages haven’t kept up with inflation, everyone in the house needs to work, meaning nobody is available to be a homemaker.
