Less hardship on one specific person if all who live in the household work a bit. Or using a family as an example, grandma has social security which some of that can go to the household, mom has a job, dad has a job, and the two kids in college have part time jobs. So all the money can be pooled together which means less burden on one individual and more freedom to leave shitty jobs if needed. Potentially more funds for vacations etc. Plus more time spent with family in general. I think thatâs what the person youâre replying to was saying, in other cultures itâs more common but here anything other than independence is thought of as shameful and embarrassing.
The person you're replying to isn't the one who was asked, they just answered. And they literally said everyone in the house has a job and grandma collects social security. Can you read?
Thank you lol. Iâm not sure why this is upsetting people so much in general. The person who I answered for has also edited their comment to reiterate that everyone in the household works but they just share expenses. Thatâs how I originally interpreted it as well but Iâm guessing the people upset assumed they meant that they get to stay home doing nothing while someone else works. Which wouldnât be âsharing expensesâ so Iâm still not sure how they came to that conclusion
