people overestimate how bad it is to marry someone who tends to be upfront about concerns and underestimate how much damage can be done by a spouse who’s not comfortable expressing sources of discomfort or unhappiness

many of us read that piece on Central American parenting from a few years ago where children learn from when they’re tiny to participate in housework: the key is to give them real tasks when they’re small enough to be interested, emphasis on real - even 18mo’s want stakes
