My Mental Load Is All These Goddamn Toys
Toys: once symbols of childhood joy, now for some, harbingers of an oppressive mental load. The sheer volume of toys that modern families accumulate can be staggering, each piece demanding its place, each clutter-prone whim crying out for attention. This constant battle against the tide of toys can leave parents, and particularly mothers, feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. While the toys themselves may bring joy to children, the managerial burden they impose on their caregivers can become an invisible weight, a constant nagging reminder of yet another task to complete.
