Jennie and Dave introduce Eve Rodsky, author of 'Fair Play,' to discuss the division of household labor. Eve shares the story behind her book, sparked by a text from her husband about missing blueberries, which highlighted the imbalance of household responsibilities she was shouldering. This led her to research and advocate for a more equitable distribution of invisible work in the home, challenging traditional assumptions and promoting structured decision-making.
  • Eve Rodsky was inspired to write 'Fair Play' after a personal 'blueberry breakdown' due to feeling overwhelmed with household duties.
  • Rodsky's research revealed that women often shoulder two-thirds or more of household work, regardless of their income.
  • The goal of 'Fair Play' is to eliminate assumptions about household responsibilities and implement structured decision-making tools for couples.
