Does anyone have any advice on how to communicate what "mental labour" is to my DH?
He is an intelligent man, (doctorate level education) but can not seem to grasp the concept.
I had a proper meltdown this morning over something which on its own is inconsequential but is actually a continuation of an ongoing problem.
He doesn't see why it's an issue that he doesn't remember when bin day is, what drawer the baby vests are in, where the dishwasher tablets are and so on...
I'm sick of reminding him and sounding like a nag. I'm mentally exhausted at having to think of everything. He plans lovely things, like a weekend away, but doesn't plan things like booking the dog into kennels, will there be room for a travel cot, can I freely access boiled water and a steriliser or should I take ours.
How can I make him aware of the necessities without sounding critical?
He's an amazing man who would do anything I ask of him... sometimes I just wish I didn't need to ask...
