Cedric Thompson Jr., a former NFL player, experienced the mental load of parenting while his wife was on vacation. Acknowledging the exhaustive nature of managing family responsibilities, he learned that mothers often bear the brunt of this cognitive labor. His experience highlighted how planning and organization extend beyond mere tasks, encompassing a deep emotional and mental commitment. Research indicates a disparity where 71% of mental labor is managed by mothers, showcasing a common underestimation of parental workloads by fathers.

You don't understand the mental load of being a mom unless you carry it.
The endless planning, remembering, and organizing is exhausting in ways I never understood before.
Fathers are also more likely to see household mental labour as equally shared, while mothers disagree.
