The hidden load: How 'thinking of everything' holds mums back

When it comes to household responsibilities, women perform far more cognitive and emotional labour than men. Why is this, and is there anything we can do about it?

I have a suspicion this may be a feature of the difference between sexes. It has long been held, after all, that women are better at multi-tasking than men. I know that many of the problems that arise between me and my mother come from the fact that when I concentrate on anything, I completely lose attention for anything else, and she cannot understand that.
