Women tend to spend at least fifteen more hours doing housework than men do (309). In the case of Ray's wife, Debbie, she spends all of her day doing housework and taking care of the children, which you never see during the episode.
When Evyn first saw Eleni, with her red lipstick, black pants, and high heels, she thought Eleni looked nothing like a college professor and a mother.

After her father, Birdie, reminded Evyn that her new combination lock was 5, 10, 15; she forgot, making her forgetful.

When they arrive home, the key is not under the mat and Zeena is usually in bed by now. Zeena comes to the door, and you can tell she is highly suspicious of the two, but she is only worried about herself and needs Ethan’s money for her doctor

Gestures such as a hand on a shoulder, or words like “thank you” or “I love you” whether said, or not said, or even something as simple as noticing a difference in a loved one’s appearance will make a big difference in daily life. Even while jack is not gone, the writer longs for any sign of affection from him. “You never question why the toilet paper never disappears or why we have an endless supply of scented candles.” She does so much around the apartment to show Jack her affection and care she feels toward him, yet he never acknowledges any of it and it is apparent that this bothers her.
