SK: Good to know. What is the division of labor like in your house? What do the boys have to do?
SKB: The kids are more responsible for keeping their space clean, putting their clothes in their hamper, making sure that they make their beds and picking up their toys, that sort of thing. And then Ryan and I are more kitchens and bathrooms and floors. Although my oldest son will vacuum and sweep. I’m very impressed with him. I remember for me growing up as a kid, 10 was sort of the magic number where my mom said, “All right, it’s time for you to start washing your own clothes.” I’d been washing dishes for a couple of years, but by hand, and [that was the age for] learning how to load the dishwasher properly. … As my kids get older, their responsibilities increase.
SK: The Cascade campaign emphasizes saving water. Do you teach your sons about their role in protecting the environment?
SKB: You know what? They actually teach me a lot about caring for the environment. In the kitchen, we have refuse divided into garbage and recycling and whatnot. And if Daddy accidentally puts something in [the garbage], my son may actually check the carton and it has the recycling symbol on it, and say, “Dad this is supposed to go into recycling.” I’m like, “My bad, son. Thank you very much. I appreciate your help.” I like a shower, but they’re like, “Dad, you know, if we take a bath, we can actually use less water than the shower.” I say, “OK, bro, thanks a lot. I appreciate it.” The school system is actually doing a really good job of letting them know what part they can play in conservation, so I’m learning more from them than them from me.
SK: It’s was so bittersweet learning that This Is Us is ending, even though it was apparently a plan all along to run only six seasons. Often, when a woman’s job is ending, people say, “Oh, you must be happy, because you’ll get to spend more time with your kids.” Do people ever say that to you when one of your jobs is coming to an end?
