In Episode 2 of The Mental Load Chronicles, we do a thing: sit down with a literal deck of cards to sort out who does what in our household. Enter: the Fair Play method.
We talk through the realities of managing a full house—three kids, two jobs, multiple dogs—and how it all becomes a blur of unspoken expectations, unbalanced responsibilities, and surprise tensions about photos. Yes, photos.
This episode captures our first honest attempt at naming the tasks we do (or avoid), how it feels to hold them, and what happens when you start saying the quiet parts out loud.
Spoiler alert: It’s harder than we expected. But also…kind of amazing?
