If your partner is taking on a task, don't offer to help or make a list. Instead, each person should own their task from start to finish.

“Kids can distinguish between genders as early as 18 months old, and use their knowledge about which group they themselves belong to in order to model their own behavior. And to put a bit of pressure on the dads out there, research with older kids, both male and female, shows that it’s their fathers’ attitudes about marital roles—and not their mothers’—that get internalized,” said Lockman.
“A growing body of research shows that the gender wage gap is really a motherhood gap. Women without children earn just about as much as men. The thinking goes, employers expect women with kids to be less available, and they don’t expect men with kids to be less available, and thus they pay them accordingly. Until that shifts, even mothers with equal partners at home are going to continue to take a wage hit,” Lockman says.

The new normal is not to pretend and hide the fact that we have families, it’s to celebrate the value of care and caregiving in all its chaos and glory.
