but I spent Saturday mornings helping my mother catch up with her housework. (Housework belonged to females back then.
When guys got a day off they got a day off. When women got a day off they tried to "catch up", or so it seemed.)
A woman's work is never done.
Actually, I had 4 brothers, 2 parents, and 1 grandfather living with us. There was no woman's work. There was just work. Even if I would have had sisters, there would have still been "just work." My father's family, even though they were of stubborn German descent, had always believed in equality of the sexes.
