My mother always warned me (very bright, very successful woman) that if I wanted to be a mother, I had to operate on the assumption that my husband was not going to do anything around the house and I would be doing 100% of the childcare, no matter what he promised, because I couldn’t opt out of motherhood. I thought she was being harsh until I started seeing reels on how to encourage your husband to load the dishwasher and how to praise your husband for playing with his kids
