Invisible work, the thinking that goes into managing work, family and households. This phrase entered my world a few months ago and I’ve been doing some research to bring this to you. This is part one of a two - maybe three part series. Today we define and start understand what invisible labor is. Next episode we will discuss how to communicate invisible labor to those in our house.

“A reminder, in itself, takes tremendous mental effort by you. It requires knowing what needs to be done, remembering what needs to be done, and reminding someone to get it done, whereas the person being reminded gets off easy. He doesn't have to remember a thing, nor does he worry about forgetting. And if you think about it, reminding and praising is the daily work of parenting children, not partnering with husbands.”
