... so he can experience what it’s like to run our household (baby, dog, new homeownership and all the insanity that entails, plus we each have full-time jobs and not a lot of extra money to outsource things like housecleaning) with minimal help from a partner. I appreciate that he’s trying his best to share the responsibilities, but he has NO IDEA of the mental load required to keep everything going. And when I try to explain it to him, he tells me that it’s okay if some things drop. I can’t get away with “I’m trying my best, sorry it’s not good enough” when it comes to adulting - literally living creatures would suffer if I used that line as much as he does. I just want him to experience what I carry, physically and emotionally, for one week./end rantETA: I know this isn’t an original sentiment. I just had to get it off my chest. thanks for the catharsis. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2HbHGPL
