Domestic
Olivia Benson was many things. Domestic wasn’t one of them.
She could operate a washing machine, knew how to iron her sweaters (which she never really did) or how to fix a grilled cheese sandwich. Not that she didn’t want to be domestic - she simply didn’t have the time. Or a reason to be.
Today Olivia Benson can not only operate a washing machine, she can operate pretty much any household appliance. She irons Alex’s suits, her sweaters and shirts, even her panties. She knows how to get rid of wine stains on their beige carpet, how pretty much any other stain can be erased with some glass cleaner and a sponge, how to hang the wash without the pegs leaving any marks on the clothing, or how to cook a five-course menu for a crowd of 15 even on short notice.
Now Olivia Benson has the time because she’s a stay at home mom with a working wife, who appreciates the effort.
