challenging hopeful informative inspiring slow-paced

4.5

THIS is the book that actually solves for the problem that everyone knows: women carrying nearly all the household administrative load. The book Fed Up shows the problem, but here's what everyone should read next. The author lays out a mindset and a system to create more parity in household labor and provides all the necessary guidelines to truly remove some load from women. It's quite focused on couples with kids but could easily be applied to those without. She does belabor some points, but honestly the belaborment is worth reading through because there are gems in there. It's from a very cishet perspective but the system could work for anyone. Everyone should read this.

Content warning for people who have experienced intimate partner betrayal and abuse: there is a quote from the snake oil salesman/cheating evangelist Esther Perel calling an affair something "exuberant" and a mention of women nagging being a reason that men have affairs. No. That is the same victim blaming as rape culture. People have affairs because they lack character and are entitled. Wish the author was more educated in this area.
