Or maybe you're trying to get your kids to eat more vegetables, and you bring home pepperony pets
Speaker 1
a. Or maybe you bring hom something that one year kids really doesn't like to eat, and so now she's going to be dealing with the temper tanch room. Or maybe she's stressed out about money, and you go home and bring a whole thing of chinese food instead of making a ten dollar meal from scratch at home, because you can't be bothered to figure i haw to cook. Yes, ye. So also, i'm sorry this this thing bothers me. Ok. This is the whole idea of spaces for men. It's like, wow, you get such a pat on the back for bringing home takeout.
Speaker 2
You knowteis, if a woman brings home some freaking takeout, once in a while, she gets told, you didn't do enough. She gets told, haven't you thought about the budget? She gets told, but does there enough vegetables in that? What happens if a man brings home take out on the one freaking night that

Not everyone has to do that, but the reason that we did that was because we understood that the mental load of ordering a piza is almost nothing rit there's no dishes, like, there's no decision n anan, remember too, like if someone orders in when
