Iโve been married for five years, and my wife does most of the cooking and cleaning. I hardly do those things.
Why? Because she cooks three types of meals on the weekend that last from Monday to Friday.
She only does laundry on weekends. She only cleans on weekends.
We also do our shopping only on weekends.
I had to help create these routines for her because she kept complaining about the โmental loadโ crap.
Women create a lot of this mental load for themselves and then complain that motherhood is hard. No, you made motherhood hard on yourselves.
She doesnโt have to deep-clean the floor late at night. She can do it tomorrow.
She doesnโt have to do laundry late at night either. Laundry can even be done on the weekend.
She doesnโt have to wash the dishes immediately; they can wait until tomorrow.
