Moms, does your husband truly share the mental load at home?

Are you able to relax knowing that you’re husband is also managing the household without you having to remind him or watch over him? Can you fully rely on him to do the cognitive work the way he can fully rely on you?

As a husband and dad, yeah, I share the mental load with my wife. I track schedules, groceries, school stuff, bills, appointments, all of it, without her having to mom-me. That mental load imbalance is brutal and so common. You deserve a partner, not a dependent with facial hair.

Such a stupid question. Handling the mental load. Mentally most women can’t handle a majority of things. They breakdown crying, stressed out. To a lot of men, that “mental load” as you call it is nothing. Why do you think it’s usually men who are the most calmest in situations. Same reason women usually look to their man to be the rock in the relationship because they know he’s more stable, he’s more calm. I see it all the time in medical. A field dominated by women but they’re the main ones panicking, breaking down and crying. You act like men are so stupid we can’t do damn thing w out a woman lol maybe most women’s ability to handle things mentally isn’t as good as they think it is. To a woman she may think she worked the shift of 3 people when in reality it was just an ordinary day of work but because emotionally it gets to her it seems like it was hard and overwhelming.

Do you share the mental load letting him relax by mowing the lawn, ruining the trees, working on the cars, taking care of the house when it needs repairs. Do you pick up the dead pigeons, spray for spiders, and all those other things men do that a majority of women don’t do? All that unpaid labor he does for you? Lol no you don’t
