[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you are equating knowing when soccer pickup is with loving and respecting you, and they have zero connection. It’s annoying he doesn’t know but it’s not likely a personal thing. I think you should pursue counseling.[/quote]

It’s the mental load. Why is it always the wife’s job and why are people always trying to pretend it doesn’t matter or men don’t need to worry about it?[/quote]

Because none of this is the wife’s job. In my house, my dad did all of this, while my mom earned the money. Even if she hadn’t been the breadwinner though, she wouldn’t have done any of it because she was never interested in raising kids. She just wanted to have them.

The point is, if you don’t want to do everything, don’t. Ask your husband to do it. If he won’t do it, either accept that it won’t be done, or divorce and look for a man who is interested in getting these things done. They are out there.[/quote]

I agree that the person who doesn't do mental load is the one who's actually not interested in raising kids, just in having them. So what do you do when neither parent wants to carry the mental load? The kids are already there. [/quote]

Great question. [/quote]
