For me, it often feels like women work two shifts every day: the first at the office, and the second at home.
Something inside still tells me that I have to cook, clean, and keep everything perfectly in order.
The strangest part is that the pressure is completely internal. My partner would never expect that from me — he sees our home as a shared responsibility.
And yet, it feels like our brain is trained to feel guilty if the house isn’t spotless or there isn’t a home-cooked meal every day. It’s not something anyone explicitly says — it’s just been in the air for so long.
