note from my good friend…
…when I told her I did not get the full-time job I interviewed for (adding that I have not been offered full-time work since 1998):
“I think you forgot that you have been working more than full time since 1999. Yes it’s unpaid and undervalued but you have been doing the essential and invisible work of mothering since you got pregnant. After the revolution, mothers and elders will be revered properly, but until then we have each other to remind us that making breakfast, feeling warm foreheads, remembering the asthma meds, folding laundry, etc. is THE MOST IMPORTANT WORK ON EARTH.”
So those of you who need to hear this today? Yes, it is the most important work on Earth.
Thanks, my friend. I needed to hear that.
