Workshop: How To Share Family Work, Part 2
In this second half of the workshop, we dive into the work that goes into running a family. We’ve already talked about what goes into caring for ourselves and individual people within the family, which constitutes a large part of family work. But there’s also those communal responsibilities of feeding a family, taking care of the home itself, and all the things that go into running the organization of a family, including fun things like culture, traditions, recreation, etc.
