The Lazy Person’s Guide to Domestic Equality

Brigid Schulte was quoted in the New York Times about the unequal division of labor by gender at home:

When Schulte’s balance was off in her own home, and she was full of resentment about how little domestic work her husband was doing, they started going on long walks together. “I literally interviewed him: how did we get here? Why didn’t you ever take a paternity leave, did you know I have been mad at you for 15 years about that?” Letting it fester for more than a decade was not healthy for her, but those walks set the stage for them to completely reorient their domestic world. They started with little tweaks, like it was always her husband’s job to unload the dishwasher.
