HERE’S A COMMON SCENARIO BETWEEN PARENTS THAT COUPLE’S THERAPISTS FREQUENTLY
SEE: ONE PARTNER, OFTEN THE WOMAN, IS FRUSTRATED, OVERWHELMED, AND RESENTFUL
BECAUSE THEY FEEL THAT THEY’RE TASKED WITH A GREATER SHARE OF THE MENTAL LOAD IN
THE RELATIONSHIP. THAT IS, THEY TAKE ON MOST OF THE APPOINTMENT-MAKING, THE
PARTY-PLANNING, THE MEAL-PREPPING, AND OTHER SUCH WORK IT TAKES TO RUN A
HOUSEHOLD. WHEN THEY EXPRESS THEIR FRUSTRATION, THEIR PARTNERS BECOME DEFENSIVE
AND RESPOND WITH “WELL, WHY DIDN’T YOU JUST ASK?” CONTEMPT AND RESENTMENT
BUBBLE, ARGUMENTS ENSUE, AND THE CYCLE REPEATS. ONLY WHEN BOTH PARTNERS COME TO
TERMS WITH — AND DEVISE A SYSTEM FOR — THE AMOUNT OF INVISIBLE WORK IT REQUIRES
TO KEEP A HOUSEHOLD HUMMING ALONG, CAN THE CYCLE BE BROKEN.

TIPS AND TRICKS
WHAT IS THE MENTAL LOAD?
IN GENERAL, THE MENTAL LOAD DESCRIBES WORK THAT HAS TO BE DONE IN ORDER TO KEEP
A HOUSEHOLD RUNNING. THIS INCLUDES:
- RESEARCHING. WHICH DOCTOR SHOULD BE SEEN? WHICH SCHOOL THE KIDS SHOULD GO TO?
CAN YOU TAKE A CAR SEAT ON THE PLANE?
- REMEMBERING. WHEN IT’S TIME TO UPDATE THE CAR REGISTRATION, HOW LONG IT’S BEEN
SINCE CHANGING THE FILTERS, AND WHEN A PERMISSION SLIP NEEDS TO BE SENT IN.
- NOTICING. FOR EXAMPLE, THAT A LIGHTBULB IS OUT, THAT THE WASHING MACHINE IS
MAKING A FUNNY NOISE, AND THAT THE YOUNGEST CHILD HAS SEEMED A BIT MORE
LETHARGIC LATELY THAN USUAL.
- DELEGATING. FOR EXAMPLE, CALLING THE LAWN PERSON TO COME RE-MULCH THE GARDEN,
LETTING THEIR PARTNER KNOW WHICH TYPE OF CAKE MIX TO PICK UP, AND REMINDING THE
KIDS TO PUT THEIR LUNCH BOXES AWAY
- MAGIC. THIS WAS INTRODUCED BY AUTHOR AND MENTAL-LOAD EXPERT EVE RODSKY.
EXAMPLES OF “MAGIC” ARE MAKING SURE THAT THE TOOTH FAIRY LEAVES THE DOLLAR, THAT
THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS ARE UP IN TIME, AND THAT THE FAMILY’S FAVORITE RECORD IS
PLAYING AT DINNER TIME. THIS IS THE MENTAL WORK THAT MAKES LIFE SPECIAL.
THE REALITY IS THAT THE MENTAL LOAD EXISTS. TO KEEP LIFE MOVING, PEOPLE HAVE TO
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. THE KEY TERM HERE IS PEOPLE RATHER THAN ONE PERSON.
