Parenting Uncovered with Dave & Ashley Willis
Kids & Family:Parenting
Welcome back to Parenting Uncovered; today, we have a special guest, Dr. Morgan Cutlip. She discusses the concept of the mental load and its impact on relationships, particularly in the context of parenting. The mental load refers to the running to-do list that individuals, often parents, carry in their minds. It takes up cognitive real estate and includes invisible tasks that are often not shared with partners. The mental load can lead to frustration, resentment, and burnout. Dr. Cutlip suggests regular check-ins and open communication as ways to address the mental load and avoid burnout. She emphasizes the importance of self-care and self-check-ins to maintain mental health and offers insights on how couples can support each other in managing the mental load. The conversation also includes fascinating parenting facts and lighthearted jokes.
