@Orangulent @mgreenwa @lynnac9461 @PatyQueti @LadyDemosthenes People who use Gothic script in their Handles are often pompous pricks. Based on a sample of you, that is 100% accurate.

Text to my husband today: โWhere do we keep the house filters?โ
Why? Because the AC guy was here today and offered to change them for us, a job that my husband handles. He knows when to change them, and he knows the size and type of filters we use. I do not.
Because in a marriage you divvy up the mental load.
I handle the grocery list because I cook, because Iโm better at it! He does the dishes, so when heโs low on dishwasher soap he tells me and I add it to the list.
This video implies only women have a mental load which is utter BS. Husbands and wives just handle different aspects of the household. Thatโs how it works. Thatโs how itโs always worked.

@SmalllIvy @LadyDemosthenes Yep, easiest job in the world! That's what they always say!

@Orangulent @LadyDemosthenes Oh yeah, like how my son would jump up to see me come home in our garage half window door
Or my daughter in her princess dress and gloves for the daddy daughter dance.

@Robk000 @LadyDemosthenes It's a pretty well known subject, buddy. I'm sure you can find Google and the NIH website without my help. But, I dunno, these threads have told me that men's brains simply cannot function without the help of a lady, so ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ

@Orangulent @LadyDemosthenes if you can't back up your critique of my points then your criticism has no validity
like I said I have read all I need on the matter to form an opinion
nothing you have contributed to this discussion as given me a reason to change that opinion
U SAY READ MORE but no Citations?

@atrupar They ignore the fact that COVID and Trumpโs 2017 tax cuts drove inflation (as predicted). Everything Bidenโs admin did was super focused on pulling us out of that. And they succeeded masterfully.
Rs succeed at spinning lies.

@Robk000 @LadyDemosthenes The fact you came back hours later to tell me you own books because you didn't like that I ignored you ๐คก๐คก

@Orangulent @LadyDemosthenes My book case has hundreds of books ... stop obstufcating or changing the subject if you don't have a counter argument just accept defeat ๐ or maybe read up on it and get back to me...

@Robk000 @LadyDemosthenes I'm not here to do the work for you. There are studies on this that you can easily seek out.

@Orangulent @mgreenwa @lynnac9461 @PatyQueti @LadyDemosthenes Nothing says ignoramus like judging people without knowing anything about them.
English

@SmalllIvy @LadyDemosthenes Yep, that sure is all there is to parenting full time! You nailed it!
Decatur, IL ๐บ๐ธ English

@Orangulent @LadyDemosthenes Yeah, I remember that.
My son when he was like 4 would get up at 530 and watch Mr. Roger's while I jogged, then we'd snuggle in a chair and watch Caliou together.
That was brutal.
By 5 or 6 he was putting trash bags in. After that he took care of the litterboxes. Big help!
English

@SmalllIvy @LadyDemosthenes Lol, please talk to more stay at home moms at let me know if they're only clocking 50 hours a week. Do you think the kids cease to exist at night? On weekends?
Decatur, IL ๐บ๐ธ English

@Orangulent @LadyDemosthenes I didn't say it wasn't a job.
But if you look at the time required for basic home and childcare, you'll find it's pretty equivalent to a fulltime job with commute.
It's also paid since you get at least half of whatever your husband makes.
English

@SmalllIvy @LadyDemosthenes Wild that so many of you think being a stay at home parent isn't also a job, or that it's easy. Unpaid labor is still labor!
The unequal division of labor and mental load also isn't exclusive to single income households.
Decatur, IL ๐บ๐ธ English

@Orangulent @LadyDemosthenes What about the typical 50 hours a week most guys spend working + commuting to work?
When you add to that the 800 hours/year things like filters, home and auto repair, yardcare, trash, errands,... take up, it adds to a lot.
Plus dad is handed the baby when he gets home.
English

@Robk000 @LadyDemosthenes And what exactly did you read? A bunch of posts from blue check grifters on Twitter?
Decatur, IL ๐บ๐ธ English

@Orangulent @LadyDemosthenes I won't say what I think you should do but your debating style is totally disingenuous I've read all i deem necessary on the subject to have formed an opinion but I'm willing to put those opinions to the test by debating them ...
English

@LadyDemosthenes @MileyDurbin Wow, I had no idea so many women were married to linemen! That would explain why statistically so many women bear the brunt if the mental load I guess- all of their husbands are linemen and their kids should just go kick rocks
Decatur, IL ๐บ๐ธ English

A lineman is not HOME consistently enough to be able to be in charge of extracurricular activities! You do realize this, right? So she KNEW he could be away from home for weeks at a time and SHE still decided to sign the kids up for all of these activities. So yeah, this mental load is her own fault.
English

@ScottWi23694014 @LadyDemosthenes This concept is not specific to single income households. It's very common in situations where both work full time as well. There are also plenty of households where the stay at home parent manages the money.
Decatur, IL ๐บ๐ธ English

@Orangulent @LadyDemosthenes Filters, car maintenance, lawn, house maintenance, financial planning, paying kids college, taxes, paying billsโฆthings that if they go wrong your whole life falls apart (except for lawn). I think maybe the wife can handle the type of milk to buy.
English

@LadyDemosthenes @MileyDurbin Ah yes, of course. 2 parent household but of course it's all on mom to handle the child's activities and that's her own fault. ๐
Decatur, IL ๐บ๐ธ English

@MileyDurbin @Orangulent I too am a working mom. I also understand that if I put my child into a bazillion activities, I am creating for myself more mental load. She has created most of her own problem.
English

@Robk000 @LadyDemosthenes Again, I think you should do more reading on this subject.

@LoyalArgus @mgreenwa @lynnac9461 @PatyQueti @LadyDemosthenes Don't worry, the cross emoji and lion pfp already alerted me to how you likely feel about women.
Decatur, IL ๐บ๐ธ English

@mgreenwa @Orangulent @lynnac9461 @PatyQueti @LadyDemosthenes In fairness, I know many women who actually are great listeners & partners. Who accept responsibility & accountability. But they are rare. My wife is one of them, I love her.
