Why Soviet women never got tired and where they got their strength and energy
The household function of the family is to ensure that all relatives are shod, dressed, fed and healed in case of need. There is an opinion that in this matter Soviet women were head and shoulders higher than modern housewives. They worked for ten and never got tired. What was the secret to their energy?
My good friend recently went to a conference in a neighboring city. Before the trip I thought to clean the house to get back to clean, but gave up on it.
When I entered the apartment, dusty surfaces immediately jumped into my eyes, a mountain of unwashed things on the chair, unwashed dishes. But where do you get the strength to do this? It was as if she was not getting new impressions, but working at the mine.
My mom and grandma also wanted to visit. We need to get them to come back later. They won't understand or forgive. The house should always be cleaned. These women in their youth had time for everything: order to bring, and homework from the offspring to check, and then also for embroidery to sit down. And their cookbooks never got dirty. Every weekend, it's baking.
The secret of Soviet women Where did they get their strength? Their lives were objectively more complicated than they are today. It's the same problem. It's money. Laundry was squeezed by hand, dishes were washed without any dishwashers, the apartment was cleaned with a broom and mop. And it was necessary to defend in the store a kilometer queue for sausage and a pawn to bring food to the fifth floor without an elevator.
Children and the family budget are in the same steppe. Instead of diapers, diapers. All need to feed, check the lessons, think through a cultural program for the kids. Every penny should count. Then there were no applications for convenient budget calculation. If you do not calculate the costs, please shrink to paycheck or borrow. Credit cards haven't been invented.
And the slogan "Everything by itself!" did not allow to attract a man to the household sphere without need. He worked in the factory and came from work without strength. And he needed care and care. They did.
Why do modern housewives get tired so quickly in the presence of all kinds of equipment? Scientists call the XXI century the century of rapid dopamine. We enjoy ourselves without much mental or physical cost. Whether it’s watching TV series in your free time, collecting likes for selfies or endlessly flipping through pages in online stores. But this pleasure is short, it does not saturate, does not burn.
But there is another explanation, a more global one. It doesn’t matter how much work you do during the day. What matters is why you do it. Here is the viewpoint that has found many responses online:

How can you get tired when you work for your children and their children? You look decades ahead, which means you can handle any difficulties.”
By and large, the world as we know it, gave a generation born in the 30-40-ies of the last century. These people raised the country from ruins and raised our moms and dads. Our parents found the collapse of the Union, but a strong upbringing kept them afloat.

Of course, you need to work to live well and pay for yourself and your family. But is there a global goal for decades to come that provides the same impetus and inspiration for Labor? Creation in a pure form, from which you do not get tired.
We don’t want to shame the younger generation. Especially when the acceleration and simplification of life suddenly hit the family. Who knows, and suddenly the reason for the fatigue of a girl who does not want to cook for her husband every day lies in the fear of a foggy future. The institution of marriage became shaky in comparison with the same USSR. Why invest when tomorrow your husband can go to another? There's no guarantee.
And what do you think was the secret to the irrepressible energy of our mothers and grandmothers? And what is the basis of the fatigue of modern women? Share your opinion in the comments.
