Meanwhile, my great grandmother had a clothes washer that was little more than a basin with a hand-operated roller attached. That was modern technology in action! She had to fetch water from the well every morning just to wash up before meals. All of the meals that she prepared were from food that they raised locally, none of it bought with cash (who had cash in the early 1900s?) My grandparents remember when they first wired up their house for electricity, and how amazing it was that they could read the Bible after the sun went down without having to use expensive candles or oil.

If they could imagine they could live a life where they only had to work 60+ hours a week to feed and clothe and shelter themselves, they would've jumped for joy! They had no idea what "free time" was let alone luxuries we take for granted nowadays.

Here in the deep south, landscaping alone is a weekly job most of the year, so between that, catching up on stuff like laundry, grocery shopping, meal prep, genral house keeping/cleaning, and God knows what else. With all that, you really only actually get one day off if you’re very lucky. Most probably only have a full half a day off to fuck off e wry week to get their mind right. I’m not bitching by any means, just stating the reality of the situation most live in. Between working out regularly, working, and sleeping at least 6-7 hours a night, it doesn’t leave much time during the week to get much done, especially outside during parts of the year.

you are retarded. My old relatives who lived like that didn't work 60 hour weeks. I have discussed the boomer thing with them and they are horrified at what their grandkids have to do. it was labourous but free. they divided labour between the kids ( and the community was involved so new families had kids from other households all the time. youngest daughters who didn't have thier own kids went around helping new families and families whose kids were grown up were helping their kids. my one great aunt reckoned at actually only 20 hour weeks and that helped her really appreciate the effort of her husband going to work so the culture of having home be a refuge for him was real).

it is normal for one generation to look down on the next one but boomers are the first one hated by 2 before and 3 after
