There is a lot to say and explore on this subject, but if try to say any of it I️ might yell, or you might not listen, and then what?!
A book I’ve loved this year about the division of household labor (#1 and possibly only cause of nagging) is called Fair Play by Eve Rodsky. I️ also recommend the cartoonist Mary Catherine Starr’s work on Instagram - and an online comic by the French cartoonist Emma called You Should’ve Asked. I️ read that one years ago and it changed my life. She also has a graphic novel called The Mental Load that deals with the same subject and is really good.

Yes to all of this! Also, I'm reading Angela Garbes' Essential Labor which is so so good on this front.
"Maybe I don't do things the way you* would" made me laugh so hard. Especially since I was scrolling and it took an extra second to see the upside down baby in his hand. Wonderful work as always, Liana!
