Are you spinning multiple plates at once? Mother, wife, employee, cook, cleaner, project manager, taxi driver, homeschool teacher? If it’s actually possible for women to have it all, as society assures us it is, then why do we feel like we are failing? All over the world, women shoulder most of the responsibilities of parenting and managing a home, even when both partners are in paid employment. The better they do this job, the more invisible it becomes. Failure to both recognize and value the Invisible Job is at the heart of today’s gender imbalance.

I strongly recommend this book!
The author, Paula Fyans, uses her scientific background to present and quantify in an enjoyable way, including her own experience, the household chores and care work.
Her research shows that women are still in charge of the major part of this unpaid work. This fact brings them an economic drawback, and often resulting in personal frustration and in a stressed situation with their partners.
What surprised me was the fact that Paula includes a flexibility factor to the domestic tasks, which represents, in addition to the time required, a relevant burden to the mental load. Furthermore, the better this job is done, the more it becomes invisible.
I completely agree with her that the failure on measuring, valuing and fairly sharing the invisible job is at the heart of today's gender imbalance.
