In the last three years as a home organizer I’ve seen that in most homes one person is responsible for the majority of the household tasks. Some call it the mental load or emotional labour, but at the end of the day it is work that adds more to one person’s plate. The reality is that the person who’s taking on the burden of the household often finds themselves resenting their partner as they either have to do it all or delegate tasks rather than the partner seeing on their own what needs to be done. What’s worse is the partner who doesn’t participate criticizes the decision to hire help, they don’t see that there is a problem or worst of all think that it’s not their problem.
