The hope and idea of the thoughts collected here is to explore and observe what happens as I try to shift the balance of workload so that it is better shared around the members of my household.
I want to share the mental, emotional and physical load of running a home and life. I no longer want to be responsible for so much of it as well as paid full time work! Trying to move this burden is going to be tough – I want to do less, which means someone else has to do more. And they’re not used to that. It’s going to impinge on their free time.
Join the journey. Expect there to be tears of both joy and fury along the way, big sighs and cries of despair and little incremental steps that mark progress in the right direction. At times I’ll be looking for advice and input and other times I’ll be following my own inertia.
This blog will serve to document this process. One day, a few years from now, I hope I’ll be looking back at these early posts and note how things have changed. These scenes I hope will be playing out in families across the world in their own little way. This is how society makes any change!
I’m looking for a suitable quote

Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.
