If you don’t understand that “mental load” is a thing...


I’m tired. I don’t DO everything, but I definitely plan, coordinate, and manage everything. Nobody would have any idea what was going on if I didn’t keep it all straight. Nobody would ever freaking leave the house if I didn’t stay on top of them to get ready in the morning. Nobody would ever go to bed if I didn’t make them.I know this is called parenting. I understand that. I just feel like I’m the bad guy half the time, and the other half, a behind-the-scenes manager who is pretty much invisible unless something goes wrong.I guess I can have a life if my own at some later time, right? And everyone will probably tell me that when that finally happens, I’ll miss this. (Right now, I say bring it on.) via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2nmK2W8
