    I believe the myth of Sisyphus is 100% an allegory of house work. “This person angered the gods (had children), so he was doomed to push this boulder up the hill (clean their shit) forever (until the kids grow up, which feels like forever)”.

        I still clean, but most of the time it’s just a spot clean every few weeks or so. Unlike parents, which need to do a deep clean every week

            Using the kids doubles the labor and triples the time the task requires. It’s only valuable in the sense that you’re teaching the kids to eventually be competent adults. Which is admittedly a lot of value but it’s exhausting.

          I’d put it at 2 weeks to a month for a deep clean, just gotta clean as you go. Helps to enforce outside shoe removal at the entryway and to sweep and vacuum the garage floor occasionally. I will say, having kids now and being in charge of cleaning for a decade and a half, I really get anakin’s hatred of sand
