Micromanorial economy. Maybe everybody can also have a budget “family office”, time-shared e-butler, etc.

This pattern is mostly cost-control and defensive in 2019, to hold position rather than ambitiously move forward like in 2006. https://twitter.com/aelkus/status/1201247629398757376?s=21 … https://twitter.com/Aelkus/status/1201247629398757376 …

Hot take: tradwifery, ironic or sincere, is economically a conservative status-stop-loss downward class-mobility defense. Domestic stock buyback to take family, inc. private almost. Two-income living is increasingly a bad deal in big, expensive cities, especially with kids

It is a better deal to have one member of a couple stay home and take over a lot of internal service and product operations that would be far too expensive to buy at market rates. Childcare is an obvious example.

Honestly, society needs more professional moms. As a mother who has moved for work, I can attest to the anxiety of filling out emergency forms and asking colleagues whom I've known for a week if they'll be an emergency contact. It's insane that this isn't a service.

*pro moms/dads, basically people with the life experience of household management and childcare who can pinch hit. Extended family provides/d this support in trad societies.

I would pay to have a grandparent. I wonder if you can choose specific traits. I definitely would not want a FOX news grandparent, but I wouldn't mind listening to stories and sitting awkwardly on a davenport.
