[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The mental load placed on women is perpetuated by gender-based expectations of a variety of parties, from parents, to health care providers to school staff, which always call the mother any time there is a problem at school.

If you aren’t smart enough to give them only your spose’s name and number, you deserve it [/quote]

I do give them DH number. They always call the wife first. One of our friends is a stay at home dad-even he noticed this. He had to fight hard to become the default. Another example: how many men’s rooms have a baby changing station in them? Why is that? Again women are viewed as default parent and carry a lot more of caregiving and mental load[/quote]

🤣🤣🤣 they always always call the mom. I've gotten calls to come get a sick kid while I'm miles away and in an OR performing surgery while my DH is working from home within walking distance. And when I get the message I have to be the one to call DH to go get the kid. They hadn't even tried to call him and they definitely have his phone number on file. Forking ridiculous [/quote]

Our school in MCPS always calls my husband, I have him listed first and clearly noted to call him. He carries an equal mental load too. But I understand our set ups are more unique.[/quote]
