This week was alot of work.
Actually it was, we talked about work, and the affects that it has on the family.
We discussed the history of work which I found very interesting. How it hasn't been until recently, since the industrial revolution, that families have been separated during work. Before then everyone did most everything together. Which I had never though about before. Yes there was still some division of labor but it was due to the skills that people possessed. Since men are generally stronger they would do some of the heavy lifting, and women and more detail oriented.

This is not the case anymore. Dad works outside of the home, and in many cases mom does too. The children used to work in factories, but now they are gone all day for school, then scouts, sports, dance, piano, and hundreds of other things.

I grew up working, and I love it. I don't have a job right now and so I feel extremely lazy. I used to get mad if there was family work that I wasn't able to do. Work has always been part of my life, and I see the benefits of it.
