[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just thinking about the[b] "mental load"[/b] and how much of it is stuff that truly has to be done (dinner planned, childcare organized) vs how much is social niceties (gift giving, thank you and holiday cards, assisting a sick friend).  On the social niceties side what do you think would entirely disappear if women were gone and men either picked up the ball or let it drop? I think for the most part all gift giving, thank you notes, and all holiday celebration beyond the meal (decorations, events) would pretty much disappear because most men just don't care whether or not these things are done[/quote]
OP, life is not just "mental load" stuff. There are many "physical load" things that need to be taken care of. If you really take account of all that stuff like home repairs and maintenance, lawn, car upkeep, etc. then you realize that everyone plays an important part. Instead of wondering about who would do the things that you currently do, think about who would do the things your DH does if he wasn't there. A well maintained, safe home is probably the most important thing...without that, everything you mentioned above wouldn't matter.[/quote]
