[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question - "How many women here divorced primarily due to imbalanced, unsustainable home workload?" None. It is a staffing issue, not a relationship one. Not a problem, just an expense. [/quote] I'm all for outsourcing for cooking, cleaning, landscaping, etc but that's only part of it. A housekeeper doesn’t fix the mental load, the planning, the remembering, the emotional labor, or the resentment that builds when one person is treated like the default parent or manager of all the things. Calling it “just an expense” is a lazy way to avoid accountability. And yeah, it’s a problem.[/quote] As a counterpoint, I am the default pare t and manager of all things, but DH makes about 3x what I make, and works really hard (on his computer at 4 am most days), so I don't mind. If we earned the same and I was the default parent and manager of all things, I would be resentful. [/quote]
