I live this task.
I'm currently at home with a 5 month old girl. Raising a child is labour, but not work. Teaching your child is education but not school.
Furthermore, I'm on currently on maternity leave from work - which is a school. And my coworkers - the faculty and librarians - are currently on strike.
So we have been making it point *not* to go to work/school. We walk around an invisible line that separates work/school and everything else. (We even sing protest songs. How quaint!)
I'm living la lida liminal.

Yours was one of the first tasks I saw after I signed up and I wanted to vote vote vote. Liminal. Living the task. Family tasking. Labour /= work. Education /= school. Lots of yay. But now again I have no votes. But also now I'm not so shy and so I will give you my yay and also my derkins (new word?!).
[Edit: now including actual votepoints.]
