How do I share the caregiving load with my partner?

Research shows mothers carry approximately 71% of the household mental load. Sit down together and do a 'time audit' — list all parenting and household tasks, then redistribute based on each person's strengths and schedule. Be specific: 'You handle bath time, I handle bedtime routine' works better than vague promises to 'help more.' Regular check-ins prevent resentment from building. Talk to your pediatrician if caregiver stress is affecting your family.
