For YEARS I’ve been known as a forgetful person and I only just realized I actually remember 99% of ev.er.y.thing but they only notice the 1% I forget.

‘Just tell me what to do and I’ll do it’ is so far from helpful!

My husband is amazing. So helpful. But when he says “you don’t have to do that today”. No sir cause I won’t sleep if I don’t cause then it’s added to my tomorrows list😂

I'm tired of planning healthy, cheap, and relatively quick meals every week. It's a lot of work to plan a week's worth of healthy food for 2, for under $100, while making sure we're not eating the same food every day. When I plan our grocery list, I'll ask my husband what he wants to eat that week. His response is often, IDK or something about how he doesn't care, make anything. I had to remind him, that every time he says that, he's pushing the responsibility onto me, because someone has to do it, and I don't have the option to opt out like he tries to.

Every time I try to explain it I end up feeling like I'm just moaning. They still never understand because they never have to deal with it.

I went out with my friend and her newborn, while we were out, bub had a blowout and we used the backup onsite in the nappy bag. When we got back to her place, I automatically put a fresh backup onesie in the nappy bag and thought nothing of it till later in that week she called me crying and thanking me for putting a new onsie in there because she forgot to and had needed one that day and her hubby would never have done that.

I describe the mental load as an ongoing list of tabs being open. and some tabs can be closed, but others cannot be closed. and the more tabs we have open, the slower the computer (brain) runs.

Laundry isn't just 'done', it goes back to the bottom of the list because you know it needs to be done again in 2, 3, 4, 5 days depending on a million different factors

“There is a difference between grabbing the diaper bag and making sure the diaper bag is stocked” If that doesn’t sum up the mental load of motherhood… 😂😅

and it's never "thank you for making sure the diaper bag was stocked today" - it's only ever "you forgot to stock the diaper bag today".

Everything about this, the topic, the POV, the examples, the speed you talked. This was a FaceTime with my best friend and itched my brain exactly right.

Now include that with lack of sleep, having ADD, and not having weekends off. It’s a 7 day a week job. 😭 On a positive note I am grateful I have my kids and my man and my family to do this for.. but the mental load sucks especially when it’s not understood because I guess it’s hard to understand if you aren’t the one actually always doing it.

Right 😭 then they’ll say “you don’t have to do all those things that’s why you are burning yourself out” but yet if I don’t the it just piles and won’t get done.

As a single girl who doesn’t have someone to share the mental load with, my meals are the exact same thing every day so it is one less burden I have to deal with.

I get told “well that’s the easy part, I don’t understand why you make such a big deal out of it”(referring to the mental load) if it’s so easy, why. don’t. you. do. it. 👏🏼👏🏼

When you get EVERYONE little ready to go… and then you get yourself ready and then get told “mom’s always making us late like hurry up …” 🙄🫠

Reminds me of the BBQ Reddit story of hubby wanting to host, and she said all on you buddy. And yes he did cook the meat, but there were no sides, no buns, no paper plates, no napkins, no drinks, no condimens, because he never considered she was always the one to be in charge of that plus clean up. Disaster.
