The recent mums net survey re household chores & family set up got me thinking…. Is there ever a happy set up?
I know stay at home parents who resent their partner for having a life outside of the home whilst they’re stuck in a (sometimes) relentless bubble. Who then also has hobbies at the weekend, leaving SAH parent with even more of the same.
I know successful career people who feel huge guilt about missing out on precious family time. Always having to juggle work vs family and never quite getting it right on either count.
I know couples who both work full time who still don’t fairly share the chores, with one person, commonly the woman, bearing the mental load, chief cleaner and chef too.
question is, does the perfect set up exist? If so… what is it?
