[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm hearing this term so much on this board recently.  There's a thread about how women are unhappy in their marriages because of the unequal distribution of the "mental load" with their husbands.  Another thread in the Family section describes how stressful the holidays are because of the "mental load."  And on and on.  I've never heard this term until a few months back on this site.  Is this just a new buzzword?[/quote]

I am dying with the mental load right now, it's almost Christmas, the kids will be out of school in 3 days, I'm applying for jobs, etc...we need to buy a house in the next few months. I. mean, this is a lot to carry and on top of the daily grind of laundry, cleaning, food on the table, etc... Oh and don't forget trying to stay happy and emotionally regulated on top of all this. Today my DH said he was going to do something I categorize as "fun" and it's like we live on 2 different planets at times. He is much better at compartmentalizing.  [/quote]

As a women, I also feel like I am trying to plan a few Christmasy things with my family and think in detail about gift giving. My DH has not bought 1 item and has not mentioned one outing for example. [/quote]
