We can so relate to this post!
Mum-of-three Meredith Ethington recently took to Facebook after she came home from work and found her husband taking a nap on the couch.
Sharing a picture of her other half, the Perfection Pending blogger wrote down a list of the things she thinks about after a "long day of work" - many of which we're sure you will be able to relate to.
(Just to get things clear, the Utah mum is not shaming her husband for having a snooze, she is, in fact, trying to highlight "the MENTAL load women carry that men often don't".)
"OMG. This house is a mess," she writes.
"Do we have enough bread for lunch tomorrow?
"I need to have a talk with the five year old about honesty and have him return that toy he 'borrowed'.
"I hope I can get some sleep tonight. Like, actual real sleep where I have a dream, or twitch, or something. I should buy a sleep mask.
"Did I put the laundry in the dryer?"
Continuing, the mum's train of thought flips from thinking about work to her kids' vaccinations to the flowers in her garden.
"Did I hit send on that email?
"Is it too late to register the 8yo for soccer that is six months away?
"Are they caught up on their shots for school?
"Do we need more cat food?
"I should clean out their closets.
"How is the ceiling fan THAT dusty? Like, for real. Why is there so much dust on a fan that spins all day? How is that even possible?
"I keep seeing spiders. Need to call the exterminator."
After admitting she needs a vacation from mum life, Meredith gets to husband.
Her husband who is lying on the couch having a nap after coming home from work.
"THOUGHTS DADS HAVE AFTER A LONG DAY OF WORK:
"I'm going to lay down here and take a nap real quick."
We love this post because it highlights the intense load us mums have to deal with on a daily basis.
And sometimes there is just not enough space in our head for everything.
