Isn't it just someone else watching the kids and cooking the food? Except now that daycare worker or cook might be a man.

It's certainly an efficiency improvement (different people different skills) but not double the work IMHO.

Now when covid hit and we had to educate our own kids and cook our own food, while holding down our jobs - that was double the work.

No. Most people can't afford to have someone else do it even on 80 hours for the household.

It's a privilege to still have a house servant even if they are paid.
