Episode 2: Mental Load
Show notes
This week Erin puts Terry on trial for the thing every household quietly fights about... who actually tracks what's going on. The appointments, school stuff, the where-is-it-now, the do-we-have-milk. The invisible, unpaid job of running a house, and what it does to a relationship when one person feels they're carrying more than the other.
We get into the funny side, the things Terry asks for that are sitting in his eyeline. Then the serious side, why it's not really about the things that have gone missing. It's about the default homemaker role, the resentment that builds quietly underneath, and the fact that in 2026 most couples are still pretending this is a women's complaint when it's actually a household design flaw.
Plus: the rules we now live by, and whether Terry actually manages to follow them!
Tell us in the comments: what's the one thing your partner can't find that drives you completely cracked?
