Morality concerns itself with the goodness or badness of your character and the rightness or wrongness of decisions….How you relate to care tasks—whether you are clean or dirty, messy or tidy, organized or unorganized—has absolutely no bearing on whether you are a good enough person.
I think I knew this in my head, but my gut feelings don't match. I heard somewhere that women view their homes as representations of themselves. Often when they want their lives to change, they start by working on their homes. Housework bores me and I am completely unmotivated to do it. Perhaps by reframing it as care tasks, done to care for Tomorrow Me, I'll be able to do the truly necessary tasks. I hope so. And who knows, maybe that list will expand over time.
