| Title |
A woman's work is never done. |
| |
| Description |
The men comes in in the evening, at night, and sits down to their supper. They’re finished for the day; but the mother’s not finished. No, she’s not finished, not to bed-time. My mother was going to ten o’clock at night, with one thing and another. Things she couldn’t do in the day-time, she come in and did them at night, now, such as ironing clothes and baking. She did all her baking at night. And when there’d be washing or clothes to iron, she did that at night. Because she couldn’t afford to take an hour or two off in the day-time. There was too much to see to. You young ones know nothing about work. No, youse know nothing about work at all. Do youse do anything at all?
