Uneven Rest and Uneven Expectations

Uneven rest and expectations are the challenges discussed by Casey Davis in her book. Instead of equal work, Davis emphasizes the importance of fair rest. Both a coal miner and a stay-at-home parent deserve rest, regardless of who works harder. Uneven rest becomes evident when one partner relaxes while the other continues working. Additionally, uneven expectations can cause frustration, particularly when tasks are expected without agency in the decision-making process.
