74. The Mental Load of Staying Home (Rebroadcast)

We're on pandemic hiatus, but rebroadcasting some of our favorite episodes — that seem super useful right now!  Why do most men do so little at home — and especially in the kitchen? Why are women (still!) doing so much? Darcy Lockman, author of All the Rage: Mothers, Fathers and the Myth of Equal Partnership is on the podcast this week to talk about why mental load tasks like grocery list making and meal planning and prepping are still especially gendered — and what we can do, to find a better balance. Send us your mental load questions! Find us @v_solesmith and @yummytoddlerfood on social media or email [email protected]. And you can read the show notes for this episode here.
