It is so Infuriating that there is such a discrepancy between mothers and fathers when it comes to leisure time. And how for men it’s expected to ensure the family (read wife) and makes it happen whereas mothers need to fight for even 15 minutes of perfectly scheduled-ensure everyone else is fine-prepare the whole operation in advance kind of situation … 😭

The Third Shift

Here’s to claiming leisure time because you exist, and not because you earned it.

Studies have shown that women spend considerably more time on household activities, caregiving, and personal obligations, and consequently, less on leisure and sport. The leisure women do manage is rarely truly free. Our leisure is usually time boxed, and in the background is a pressure to return to responsibilities. Women do not get to check out and immerse themselves into the sovereign hobbies with the same reckless ease that men do
