„Povara mentală”, suportată de tot mai multe femei. Ce sarcini ar trebui împărțite între parteneri

Academics highlight that mental load disproportionately falls on women in heterosexual couples, with mothers handling 71% of the mental tasks. A survey of 3,000 American parents revealed that while fathers manage occasional tasks, mothers are burdened with ongoing responsibilities. This invisible load includes tracking household chores and school-related communications. Psychologist Natasha Wallace notes that many women feel overwhelmed by numerous small demands, leading to chronic low-level stress that affects their well-being. This stress can result in sleep issues, irritability, and decision fatigue.
