Any adult, with or without kids, should take the time to read this book. I wouldn’t say I’m necessarily drowning in household care tasks, but it has definitely shifted my mindset with how to approach cleaning and organizing without feeling shame or guilt when things pile up.

This was a really good read! Probably perhaps not the moment for me as my brain spent of lot of time being like "yes but not for you :)", but I think this was a good foundation looking ahead at the new apartment, particularly the chapter on division of labor! It also planted seeds I would love to re-visit later, I'm almost certain this is a book I will have to read a second time to get everything out of. Overall good and would recommend!
