I've been married almost 42 years. My folks were married 56 years when my father died in 2000. They are both gone now.

"Woman's work" is kinda hard to define, actually...
There is no “women’s work”.

I had my mom to do that stuff. My dad taught me to ride bikes, shoot hoops, use chainsaws and watch the evening news. And if he carried me it was way up top on his shoulders. Funny, I never saw anything about that experience as sorrowful

Of course there isn't. Nor men's. My mother taught me to crochet when I was five to keep me busy. I taught myself to knit. In high school, I joined the knitting club when we had to pick something. Most of the guys joined sports clubs, and a lot of them laughed at me.

I was in a room with eight girls for an hour every week with something in common to talk about. I knitted a sweater for a girl I was dating. None of the girls thought I was in the least compromised because I did "women's work". The guys didn't know what they were missing, and I didn't smarten them up.

I happily dumped a macho "alpha" type who held those types of archaic beliefs and lived in the gym for a sweet and nurturing scientist who I'm happily married to now.
