Why Division of Labor Is So Important to Me and What It Looks Like for Us

In this solo episode, I sit down to chat about the division of labor and why I think it is such an important topic. I discuss the unfortunate reality that is the disadvantage, from the very beginning, the mother is put in when it comes to division of labor and why this topic is one that every couple should be discussing. I share stories submitted by the FF Family and also reflect on how Joe and I have evolved and grown since early postpartum. I share our struggles in navigating the topic and the tools that helped us get to where we are today.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• Unpacking why I think division of labor is such an important topic
• The unfortunate reality of the birthing person in a relationship being set up at a disadvantage from the very beginning
• Reflecting back on early postpartum and the feelings of resentment/anger I had and how “keeping score” sets you up for failure
• Tools that helped Joe and I tackle this topic and get to a place where we both feel appreciated
• What the division of labor currently looks like for us
