      wat

      If you think this is bs, you either have a magical brain to be envied or you’ve just never actually taken on this work.

        No. I think everyone has cognitive load. The issue is how people compare cognitive and physical load. For example, in Fair play, annual chores such as buying a birthday card are given the same weight as daily chores such as doing the dishes.

      Not that I think it’s BS, but:

      It’s not so much who is in charge of childcare, or the time spent with a child, but the questions to ask should be centered around the cognitive labor of a task. In other words, the mental load.
