Why Moms Carry the Family Mental Load and How to Share It
I remember sitting in the parking lot after dropping my youngest off at soccer practice.
My phone buzzed.
"Did you remember the permission slip?"
Before I could answer, another notification popped up.
"We're almost out of diapers."
Then my husband texted.
"What time is the doctor's appointment tomorrow?"
Five minutes later, my mom called.
"What should I bring for the kids this weekend?"
I just sat there.
Not because any one message was difficult.
But because every single answer lived inside my head.
