How domestic engineers create desirable space physically and emotionally.
There are physical and mental challenges in fulfilling the "role" of a stay-at-home spouse.The Home as Our Castle
All of us know someone who does not work outside the home. Stay-at-home spouses raise children, run errands, clean house, and often joke that theiroutside-the-home partner has the sweet end of the deal. But not everyone working at home feels disadvantaged. Some stay-at-home partners enjoy the experience as a staycation, while others consider it to be house arrest. What makes the difference?
It can’t be as simple as workload. True, post-pandemic, many stay-at-home partners have even more balls in the air as they juggle housework with telework. However, there can be distinct advantages to a homebound schedule, both physically and mentally. Research explains.The enjoyment of working at home depends in part on the emotional state of the homemaker. Veysel Kaplan explored the interaction of mental state and mutual dependency in a piece entitled “Mental Health States of Housewives” .
But the opposite should then be true also. Many homemakers enjoy a lifestyle that fuels a very different self-perception than traditional societal expectations. They are expanding their mind by learning a new language or pursuing new educational opportunities virtually. They are in the best shape of their lives through an easy-to-schedule walking routine, or working out at the gym.

Google’s smart home will soon have help from generative AI.A new “help me script” feature for Google Home’s script editor could make setting up a smart home routine as easy as describing what you want to do. Google says you’ll be able to type a phrase like “Turn on the lights and raise the blinds at 6 AM” into the service, and “help me script” will code it for you to input straight into Google Home for web. The feature is coming to Google Home Public Preview this year and should make the many powers of the script editor more approachable to those without coding skills, which really shouldn't be a requirement for running a smart home in the first place.
