Mental Load Class

aka Home Ec 2.0

Thanks to Eve Rodsky’s book, “Fair Play” we’ve seen important progress in recognizing the mental load that women often disproportionally carry. But there is a critical flaw in handing our partners a list of chores- they don’t know how to carry the mental load.

I’m toying with the idea of creating a virtual class and gauging interest and wishes. Below is what I’m thinking would be included in the class.

How to:

• Remember Stuff is Happening

• Plan the Stuff

• Do the Stuff or Get Others to Do Stuff

• Keep Track if Stuff Gets Done or Not

• Note People’s Feelings about Stuff

• Make Stuff Easier for Next Time

This will be a non-judgmental space with practical tools to help partners co-lead in the home.

If you or your partner could benefit from a course like this, please sign-up in the interest below!*

*By signing-up, I’ll also add you to my substack for honest reflections on modern parenthood and coupledom.
