@sheisapaigeturner: When your partner asks you for your opinion, or for you to weigh in on a decision they are not only looking for you to communicate with them. They’re also looking for you to share the load of that decision with them. Being the default person to make decisions and plans for a family might seem small, but add up because they’re always small things and big things to be planning and making decisions about. #millennialmoms #thementalload #thementalloadofmotherhood #domesticlabor #fairplay #millennialmarriage

When my bf asks me opinion on decisions I say whatever you want because honestly I’m exhausted and don’t wanna make a decision anymore.

It also makes me feel like my partner is uninterested or not invested in whatever the plans or decision is!

When I am fine with whatever I tell my husband “I don’t have a strong preference either way so if you do let’s go with that”

Then they weigh in, and we present some problem with what they suggested, and then they put it back on us like we set them up

I explained I needed help with the mental load and decisions so now he asks more of me. For example…

Agree, it feels bad cuz often you're trying to create a family experience & opting out feels like they're uninterested & uninvolved in the family.

If I want to make all of the decisions, then I may as well just *be* alone and make all of my decisions independently 🤷🏾‍♀️It’s exhausting 😏

My husband and I are both indecisive, so we’ve been using “I don’t have a preference but I’m happy to make a choice” and the occasional 1/2

I used to be this guy. But now I live alone and I have all kinds of opinions about how things should be. And if I got in a relationship again (1)

My partner adopted this during wedding planning and it’s glorious: I have no opinion on this, would you like me to decide? Then I can say yes—

because family was involved he didn't want to choose your sister or his or whatever... he wanted to know what you wanted. 1/

Here here! Solo parent here of three children - two I birthed the other “easy going” I married. So frustrating and builds so much resentment

I wish it was this simple. Sometimes people ask because they want you to say the thing they want to take the responsibility off their shoulders. (1)

My husband likes to dump all the decision-making on me and then get upset that his unshared opinion is never considered or he can't unilaterally

My husband has just as much mental load and decision responsibilities as I do. If either of us says “whatever you want to do”, we just roll with it.
