Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of I Heart Radio.

Good morning. This is Laura.

Welcome to the Before Breakfast Podcast. Today's tip is to determine the full scope of what's necessary to manage your family and household before you

before you figure out who does what. In other words, agree on the whole before divvying up the parts.

As any parent will tell you, the amount of work required to manage a family is astonishing. With kids still around 24-7 in some places,

many couples are feeling the pressure. Interestingly, some research finds that a lot of parents

feel that they are doing more than their partners are.

A survey for the New York Times, for example, found that 45% of fathers thought that they were bearing

most of the homeschooling responsibilities, but only 3% of mothers

thought that their partner was doing most of the homeschooling. Among couples both

working full-time, 67% of mothers thought that they were most responsible for housework, and 64% thought that they were most

responsible for child care. But only 16% of men thought that their spouse was most responsible

for housework, and just 12% thought that their spouse was most responsible for housework and just 12% thought

that their spouse was most responsible for child care. Something doesn't add up.

My hunch, couples who disagree over who's doing the most may not know the true denominator.

They know what they're doing, but they don't know what is getting done without them.
