Being the eldest daughter means that when I talk about how I made dinner for my family every night in middle school before lockdown bc my younger brothers had practice and my parents were either working late or at practice with them, no one remembers.

oh but if your brothers had done it they would have been praised for centuries 🙄 women’s labor is invisible because it’s taken for granted and i hate it here

This all started bc I’m thinking about moving out and my mom is convinced I don’t know how to take care of myself and I brought up how I did that and also cleaned the whole house over the weekend and she straight up looked me in the eyes and said I never did that. My dad and brothers don’t even remember.

This makes me so sad. My childhood best friend was the eldest daughter and lived like this, but I didn’t understand bc I was young + an only child. My mom would send me over to her house with a whole grocery order to help out a bit
