Does giving "emotional support" to a householder (from another) constitute what's defined as "house work"?
Does planning ahead of time and purchasing stuff through navigating a tight budget for the household, constitute contribution toward "house work"?
Or, is just cleaning, in the traditional sense, organizing closets and other kinds of tangible labor that goes into keeping a house as some say, are the only forms of "house work"?
The Case For Filth is a revealing piece of writing and gives lovely responses to the intellectually confounding definition of "house work."
One observation that stands out in my mind is about house work around the task of cleanliness; while cleanliness feels highly organic (my house is "clean" because I am clean"), it really is constructed, as "the relativism of hygiene over time is amazing."
