Like many working mums I know, my household is hectic. Between showing up for my job and raising three children — alongside keeping on top of everything from homework to a never-ending list of chores — it often feels like I'm constantly chasing my tail.
It's a full-time job to keep the house stocked with everything required by a family of five — plus a cat and a dog, because three kids clearly isn't enough work. Establishing any sort of routine for who manages which supplies seems impossible, as I've pointed out when trying to explain the mental load to my partner. Running out of essentials like cat food, toilet paper, milk, or coffee feels inevitable.
