My text alert goes off before I'm out of the driveway. It's been 7.9 seconds since I left my husband and son, so something must be wrong. I imagine worst-case scenarios involving beds as trampolines, sprained body parts and glitter explosions. I check my phone. It's a message from my husband. "What should I have for lunch?"

I’m the default brain in my family. The keeper of schedules and meal times and the rememberer of lost items, including car keys, socks and homework — so I know how heavy the mental load can feel. And I’m not the only one. Research on parents’ mental loads from the University of Bath in late 2024 found that 71% of mothers are the primary planners in their household. So if your overworked mom-brain is desperately looking for a break, it makes sense.
