Her ideas of being a “good wife”
Jackson talks a bit about how older generations had different ideas of what it meant to be a good wife, and how millennials are totally changing the game, with millennial women marrying later in life (if at all), having kids later (if at all), and working 40-hour weeks, even if their partners also work full-time. Household tasks like cooking or helping kids with homework are more equal among parents now, says Jackson, but that can welcome some judgment from older mothers who see this arrangement as unconventional. “Moms will give you the side-eye and say ‘What do you mean you haven’t cooked for your husband and children?’”
