14. Is there something culturally specific about the way you clean or your relationship to cleaning?
I would think there is, but I'm hard-pressed to identify it. My mom's family, many generations back, is Norwegian, and perhaps I feel a sort of Nordic resignation when it comes to cleaning! But if anything I suppose my attitudes about cleaning are attached to the culture of my economic class, which is a mix of middle class and, hmm, I won't say working-class exactly, but service class - my parents almost always worked in administrative or social service-type jobs, in churches, hospitals, homeless shelters, youth homes, and at times working two jobs each. So they worked hard, and they helped people on their jobs, and they cleaned at home, but it was more of a chore than anything else, and something you did for yourself.
