Ladies Don't Say No to Caregiving. They Just Add the In-Laws to the List.

This week I'm getting into that moment when your partner's mother falls, and there's a pause in the room where everybody looks around, and the looking lands on you. You already have a list: your kids, maybe your own parents, a job, a household, everybody's schedule living rent free in your head. You never actually say yes. You just quietly start knowing her medications, and you call that being family.
We get into why you're just better at it isn't a compliment, it's a job offer with no salary and no end date. We get into how a married woman was historically absorbed into his household, and how today's long-term care system still runs on the assumption that a daughter or daughter-in-law will do it for free. We get into what it costs when that load lands in the perimenopause and menopause years, hitting her career, her retirement, and her health all at once. And we get into the hardest part, writing down every task for two weeks and saying one sentence out loud to your partner: these are your parents, what's your plan?
