Who Does What? The Real Talk on Division of Labor at Home


Listen Later

Hey Besties! Let’s be honest — the mental load is real, and the division of labor at home can feel… a lot. In this episode, we’re diving into all the unspoken tasks, the invisible work, and the everyday chaos of managing careers, kids, and household duties.

We’re talking about how things have shifted since becoming moms, the roles we’ve taken on (sometimes by default), and how we’re still learning to communicate, delegate, and let go of perfection. From laundry piles and swim class forms to who’s packing the sunscreen and buying the toilet paper. Nothing’s off the table.

In this episode, we share:

  • How our household roles evolved from newlyweds to moms of many

  • The emotional weight of always being the one who remembers everything

  • Real ways we’ve learned to ask for help (and not micromanage it after!)

  • The little things that drive us bonkers — and how we’ve learned to laugh through them

  • Tips for having these convos before the meltdown moment hits

Key Takeaways:

  • Communication is everything. It’s not just about dividing tasks — it’s about being on the same team.

  • You don’t have to carry it all. Sharing the load makes space for more peace and way less resentment.

  • Some things just matter more to us. And that’s okay — but it’s worth talking about.

  • The system should work for your season. Don’t be afraid to reassess and shift as life changes.

If you’ve ever whispered “I can’t do it all” to yourself while unloading the dishwasher and writing a mental grocery list — this one’s for you. Let’s talk about what division of labor actually looks like for working moms, and how to make it a little easier (and a lot more fair).
