Why is it that every task that’s required to run a home is a paid job… until a woman does it.
Chef. Chauffeur. Housekeeper. Tutor. Nurse. Admin. Therapist. Event planner. If another man was doing all of it, you might call him hardworking. Dedicated. Selfless.

Society calls it “just being a mom.” Business as usual.
It becomes an expectation instead of a sacrifice.
As husbands, partners and men, we have a responsibility to see it clearly. If the world minimizes it, we don’t accept that framing. Let the standard be set with you.
