I will never be able to stop being shocked at the magic table and the magic soap dispenser that never emptied.

My husband and I have a pretty equal split on the chores and duties, but the mental load is absolutely all on my shoulders. The thing is, it’s so ingrained in me that even if he wanted to take over some of it, I wouldn’t want to let go of that control.

I opened my laptop after an exhausting day to read your email and it hit me. This is what I have been grappling with... the mental load.

Thank you for writing about this. Keep writing.
