    She’s right. Parenting, especially work women are expected to put in, is uncompensated social labor. Having to manage yours and other people’s emotions during said labor is emotional labor.

      Extending the definition to parenting is an internet phenomenon, the academic discourse around the concept is largely centered around Workplace relationships, Customers, co-workers, bosses etc

      In what world does “compensation” even make sense in a parent-child relationship, aside from the obvious dark implications?
