WE’RE LIVING IN UNPRECEDENTED TIMES. SURE, FIVE YEARS AGO THE EXPERTS PROBABLY
COULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT WE WERE DUE FOR A GLOBAL PANDEMIC, OR THAT RUSSIA WAS
LIKELY TO MAKE A BIG POLITICAL MOVE. BUT THE AVERAGE AMERICAN HAD NO IDEA TO
EXPECT ANY OF THAT. LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE, IT’S LIKELY YOUR KIDS WILL HAVE
JOBS THAT DON’T EVEN EXIST YET. TECHNOLOGY IS DEVELOPING AT A RAPID RATE: HUMANS
ARE RACING TO MARS, DRONES ARE BECOMING THE CENTERPIECE OF WAR, AND ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE IS REACHING SCI-FI LEVELS OF SOPHISTICATION. AND WHO KNOWS HOW
CLIMATE CHANGE WILL AFFECT OUR CHILDREN’S LIVES? WHAT COMES NEXT IS SURE TO BE
NOTHING WE EXPECTED. SO, HOW CAN YOU PREPARE KIDS TO THRIVE IN THE FUTURE WHEN
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT LIES AHEAD? IT STARTS WITH RAISING KIDS WHO KNOW HOW TO
TALK ABOUT ALL THESE POLARIZING TOPICS — AND WHATEVER ONES POP UP IN THE FUTURE
THAT WE CAN’T EVEN FATHOM RIGHT NOW.

for themselves, and they also need to learn to manage themselves.”

TIPS AND TRICKS
TWO QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF ABOUT THE DIVISION OF LABOR
ASKING YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS AND REALLY INTERROGATING THE ANSWERS IS
IMPORTANT FOR THE HEALTH OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP.
1. DO I HAVE A SENSE OF THE CONTRIBUTION MY PARTNER MAKES?
BEARING THE MENTAL LOAD MEANS BEING THE PERSON IN THE RELATIONSHIP WHO’S
CONSTANTLY REMEMBERING TO REMEMBER: KEEPING TRACK OF BIRTHDAYS, THE LAST NAME OF
FRIENDS, WHERE THE SPATULA MIGHT HAVE GONE. THIS TASK OFTEN FALLS ON WOMEN. SO,
IT’S IMPORTANT TO ASK YOURSELF — ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE THE ONE WORKING EIGHT
HOURS A DAY — IF YOU TRULY RECOGNIZE HOW MUCH YOUR PARTNER IS DOING. “BY ASKING
YOURSELF THIS QUESTION, IT’S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HUMILITY ON SO MANY DIFFERENT
LEVELS,” SAYS RELATIONSHIP COACH MARIE MURPHY. IT’S ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY, SHE
ADDS, TO “RECOGNIZE YOUR OWN IGNORANCE.”
2. AM I DOING MY SHARE?
WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO GET DONE AND FIND PLACES WHERE YOU CAN
CONTRIBUTE. OR WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU CURRENTLY DO AND WHAT YOUR PARTNER CURRENTLY
DOES. THIS MIGHT SEEM LIKE ASKING FOR A FIGHT. BUT THIS EXERCISE ISN’T ABOUT
I-TOLD-YOU-SO’S. IT’S ABOUT RECOGNIZING IMBALANCES THAT MIGHT EXIST AND FINDING
WAYS TO HANDLE THEM. IT’S ABOUT BEING A BETTER PARTNER. “IT’S IMPORTANT TO MAKE
YOURSELF FULLY AWARE OF THE WORK YOUR SPOUSE AND FAMILY MEMBERS PUT IN,” SAYS
MICHELLE ENGLISH, LCSW, THE CO-FOUNDER AND CLINICAL DIRECTOR OF SAN DIEGO-BASED
ADDICTION TREATMENT CENTER HEALTHY LIFE RECOVERY

“NOT ONLY DOES THIS MAKE YOU MORE APPRECIATIVE, IT ALLOWS YOU TO GAUGE WHAT
YOU’RE PROVIDING RELATIVE TO YOUR PARTNER.”
