Great article. So true on so many levels. Funny how there isn’t the same self sacrificing model for men who are dads. They get plenty of me time to this day and just don’t get it Jessica when you ask them to share more parenting and household duties. There still is so much inequity on so many levels in our patriarchal-made concepts of society.
Thanks Brenda. Oh Will definitely shares or our marriage would have never worked out, but it our early days he did not. Not because he would not, but because he traveled so much for work. I would say because I have always worked from home since having children I did more, but now that we both work from home it is pretty equal. I know it is rare and generational, but it should be equal...period. A sure way to kill any romance and sex in a marriage is to be doing all the crap work. Ha. Love your thoughts, thanks for sharing.

My mum sacrificed her whole life for us and ended up killing herself!
That’s why I’m off to Panamá today!!!
To make my dreams come true and show my 3 daughters that it’s important to make your dreams come true! Especially when you’re a mum!
It teaches the next generation to do the same!
Oh gosh, so sorry. What a tragic story, glad you are rewriting yours. Congrats on your launch!!!!
