Do We Need to Lower Our Standards?
Manage episode 418364702 series 3367092
When we explain to our partners and families that we need them to pitch in around the house, we sometimes hear back that the real problem is our too-high standards. That if we actually think "doing the laundry" means FOLDING the laundry, instead of leaving it in the dryer, that that is just too high a bar.
Eve Rodsky, author of FAIR PLAY, suggests that partners establish a "minimum standard of care" for household duties. But how does that get set? And is that really all it takes?
In this episode Amy and Margaret discuss:
- How to use "community standards" to determine minimum standards of care
- The tired old idea that women have impossible standards
- Why it might be your system that's the problem, and not your partner
