when you don’t have kids
can I tell you a something about having kids? While it did create more mess than I had before and it does make completing tasks
more difficult at times, in some ways having kids actually made care tasks easier for me. Caring for kids naturally necessitates having a schedule. They wake up at a certain time, eat at a certain time, nap at a certain time, and go to bed at a certain time. I genuinely don’t know how I would motivate myself to do closing duties every night if I didn’t already have the forced routine of putting kids to bed at 7:00 pm. That’s really the reason I find myself on my feet every night at
the same time and why it’s easy for me to roll right into closing duties.
My point is that having kids doesn’t make care tasks easier or harder; it just makes them different. I was messy far before I ever had kids. I struggled to get dishes done as a single and childless
person for my whole life. You do not need to have children for your struggles with care tasks to be valid. You are welcome here.
