Halfway Isn’t Done: Revisiting the Fair Play Home Deck (Part 1)

from The Mental Load Chronicles · host A suburban family

Send us Fan MailThis week, we’re revisiting the Fair Play Home Deck — because it turns out splitting the cards once doesn’t magically mean the work stays split forever.In this episode, we walk back through the cards we originally labeled as shared, mine, or yours and ask the uncomfortable (but necessary) question: Is this actually how it’s working in real life?From tidying, organizing, and donations, to hosting, groceries, dishes, and money management, we talk honestly about what’s improved, what’s still lopsided, and what we’ve quietly let slide. Along the way, we unpack why “halfway” isn’t the same as “done,” how invisible labor sneaks back in, and why the mental load is never a one-time conversation.This is Part 1 of a two-part revisit of the Home Deck — and proof that rebalancing the load is ongoing work, not a checkbox.Check us out on Instagram
