Ever hear this at home? “I’d do it… but I don’t really know how.” It sounds harmless, but when “not knowing” happens often, the weight falls on one person – usually mum, partner, or the one already carrying most of the household and mental labour. This isn’t just uncertainty. Psychologists call it weaponised incompetence – when someone avoids tasks under the guise of “I don’t know how,” leaving the other to carry both the mental and physical load. π You’re scrubbing the shower… again. π Folding towels “the right way.” π Doing washing while everyone else relaxes. And for many, the pressure is heavier: It’s not laziness – it’s an invisible burden that unfairly falls on the person already keeping the household afloat.
