Burrows, Bangs, and Balayage: Navigating the Caregiving Deck
Manage episode 503717443 series 3682079
Tooth fairy fails, surprise haircuts, and why “helping” sometimes makes things harder—this episode dives into the caregiving side of the mental load. We work through the Fair Play deck and unpack how small tasks highlight bigger truths about partnership, parenting, and communication.
Highlights include:
- Why surprise “help” (like an unexpected haircut stop) doesn’t always lighten the load
- The difference between “just doing it” vs. “doing it with shared knowledge”
- How small tasks—like dental appointments, bedtime routines, or haircut preferences—reflect bigger patterns in marriages and partnerships
- Honest (and funny) reflections on how mental load shows up in daily family life
