No appreciation

(1970 September 2)

Also - one big thing housewives have against housework is they work so hard and it is never appreciated. Every time another type of work is done, there is praise - "A nice report you handed in, Susie" or "Did you really make that dress? Beautiful!" But who mentions the everyday tasks that took as much care and must be done over & over & over. No appreciation. ... If the cook has got up a good meal and everyone sits down talking about the 4th Dimension and ignores her effort, believe me she will soon think anything will do.
