I'd like to outsource my thinking :-)

I'm fed up of thinking about chores, meals, shopping, dieting, exercise, paperwork and so on.
Can I get someone to think for me every day and then write schedule and time slots for these things?

Let me know when you find it! Me too

You need a wife!

This is me too. Glad my estranged husband doesn't have to think about all the things I do!

I'd find it fun organising it for someone else. Wonder if I could make a living from it...?

@ElegantlyTouched how about trialling it here? Smile
I'll need family thinking too, as well as personal, home and work.

I think this is the biggest difference between most men and women. Women always seem to carry the mental load.

DH will do anything I ask him to in regards to housework, chores, kids etc but he never seems to get that it's the fact I have to ask or remind that bothers me.

I would like a Household Manager who runs the (sensible) schedule past me once a week or so., having considered all the variables and made decisions. Then I could just go along with it. Feels particularly acute at this time of year, and in the run-up to Christmas.

Exactly. This is the mental load.

I think you've just described a wife. This post is a great insight into what it must be like to be my husband tbh!

Yes I remember a thread on here where the husband had (for once) organised a trip away - wife just had to pack her own bag, all the rest had been researched booked and packed by husband. She couldn’t believe how easy and stress free it was. And that this was his usual experience.

Gives me the rage tbh.
