The mental load of motherhood
You probably know how it feels: you’re just halfway out the door when you suddenly remember that the lights are still on and you’ve left food in the oven. Not only that, baby wipes, snacks, and extra clothing for a playdate are missing. This is what we call the mental load of motherhood. This article contains tips for improving routine actions before everyone else notices.
The infinite to-do list
Mothers carry an invisible weight on their shoulders that no one else in the family has to endure. There is an infinite list of to-dos that can dominate the entire day. And yes, there is also your own life to take into account. This may often be disregarded for the sake of the family. The endless checklist includes tasks such as:
- Packing the right things for school or daycare
- Knowing when the next appointment is for outdoor activities
- Remembering the birthday of your little one’s best friend
- Keeping track of school events
- Bringing the right snacks, sunscreen, toys, and other essentials
And sure, there is also your own life, if time permits…
How to lighten the load
Things can often be overlooked because life just never comes easy. Mothers are constantly anticipating the needs of others, troubleshooting, and multitasking even well after bedtime. But where other family members might take it for granted, the fatigue can be a real stressor. Especially for mothers who also have a professional life to maintain.
In the majority of cases, the mother will always feel like the main responsible person in the household. This mental load can never fully be erased, but there are certain tools that can make a difference. Things like shared calendars or housekeeping help, but even a handy mom bag can already make a world of difference. Simply integrate it into the daily routine so that life becomes easier.
