Welcome back to the relaunch of Love Doesn't Pay the Bills: Highlighting the Value of Care Work!
Guest Laura Mauldin is the author of "In Sickness and In Health", about America's failure to properly support citizens who are chronically ill or disabled, instead relying on the unpaid labor of spouses.
Laura interviews care recipient and caregiver dyads who are romantic partners.
Laura shares some of her own experience caregiving for a spouse. We discuss the common framing of 'love' to obligate people to extensive care labor, some of the harms this obligation causes as well as common themes Laura noticed in her interviews.
