There is a specific — though not special, per se — burden on childless women when the labor is reallocated and the boundary between work and home is erased.

I have had to be THEE most aggressive about demands on my time during the last year when people slid into casual boundary transgressions because “what else could she be doing??”
The worlds worst therapist told me to “get hobbies” at the height of the pandemic and it dawned on me that we had absolutely no language applicable to what was happening. I said, “what hobbies do you suggest?” “*%#!?” was implied. She got quiet and I hung up.
(She really was the worst. About once a week I think about her and daydream of blowing her up on the internet. Make that revenge fantasy, Hollywood.)
(I am also impossible to therapize. I admit that. But also she sucked.)
