    No way in fucking hell it takes 3 hours a week to run a household. I do that daily.

    Clothing, kids homework, meals to cook, cleaning, shopping for food, kids extracurriculars, bills.

    6:00 pick up kids from aftercare

    6:15 Get home with kids, take care of pets, reheat dinner

    6:30-7:00 kids eat dinner and I do laundry

    7:00-8:00 kids homework and cleaning

    8:00-8:30: violin practice

    8:30 - 9:00 whatever subject they are lagging in or if nothing shared reading.

    9:00 - 10:00 kids bath and ready for next day. Around 9:20 or so I eat dinner

      You also do it alone.

      People generally used to live with their extended families.

      The tasks you’re describing were generally spread out between 4-8 grown-ass adults.
