Hannah, I feel you. Most of the time I can laugh at this and shrug it off as a full-time working mom of two boys and a spouse that works just as hard but there’s always that underlying feeling of “what the actual f?” But we’re not perfect and we’ve definitely perpetuated the stereotype without giving it much thought so my kids know I’m usually the food person, the snacks always prepped person, the dinner person, the leftovers person, the lunch packing person. It’s my thing even though my spouse can do it, i just took it over so I think, many times, they just associate me with that activity. They know their other parent is fully capable they just haven’t yet realized that parent can also be associated with that task. I like to think Astronaut mom maybe is the food person when they’re home?
