Mental Load

Once upon a time, there was a little boy who’s parents did everything for him. When he was in high school, his mom packed his lunch and in college got care packages. Eventually he married a woman who planned every event, every holiday, every vacation with lists and did the grocery shopping. He packed his clothes to get ready and then would wait in the car jingling the change in his pocket. What was taking so long? Why are you so stressed dear, it’s vacation.
