Housewife: “I feel like I’m working non-stop. There’s always something to do at home, no breaks, no holidays.”

HR Manager: “I understand your point. I’m also getting more work. But, I do get weekends off.”

Housewife: “At this point, I am jealous as I’m unsure when my last day off was. My responsibilities never end, even during holidays or when I’m sick.”
