Welcome to #CheckIn for Monday, May 20

Hey, hey, it's Monday!

I was a tomboy growing up so there were a lot of stereotypes I just didn’t bother with. That changed at around 16 as I absorbed elements of women’s roles. One thing I seemed to buy into was that an adult woman is always supposed to have the highest cleanliness level of household occupants. No one I lived with expected me to be the super cleaner but I expected me to be the super cleaner and it made me feel unappreciated. It wasn’t until we actually settled on being childfree that I could shed the role of critical cleaner. Now I clean as much as I needed to feel comfortable in our home. There’s a whole other person with thumbs who can do the same (and robovacs) so we’re content with the outcome.

Is there a cultural ideal you internalized that took way too long to shake off? Or tell us your secret to embracing that ideal.

Today’s topic is suggested by @Cass M 👋🏽 but there’s always an element of randomness. Grab your beverage preference (pixel or not), follow Wheaton’s Law and enjoy the space.
