Dimmer Down on Caring

Send us Fan MailThis week, we continue through the Fair Play deck by Eve Rodsky to see how our family’s responsibilities stack up — and who’s really holding the cards. From civic duties to cultural outings, travel plans to kids’ activities, we talk through what’s working, what’s… not, and how we can better share the load. It’s part strategy session, part reality check, and a whole lot of honest conversation about making home life feel fairer for both of us.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Fair Play and Mental Load01:47 Managing Auto Responsibilities02:59 Birthday Celebrations and Calendar Keeping03:51 Financial Responsibilities and Bills05:21 Civic Engagement and Cultural Enrichment07:56 Technology Management and IT Responsibilities10:13 Extracurricular Activities and Communication11:58 Navigating Extracurricular Activities13:48 Coaching and Sports Involvement15:41 Managing Seasonal Transitions18:11 Packing and Unpacking for Travel21:13 Travel Planning and Organization24:54 Leveraging Points, Miles, and Coupons26:00 Mental Load and Leisure Time28:28 Knowledge Acquisition and AI Tools30:04 Managing Returns and Store Credit30:34 School Forms and Kids' Activities33:18 Family Meetings and Planning35:58 School Breaks and Summer Planning38:50 Tutoring and Coaching KidsCheck us out on Instagram
