Merry Christmas Mum Clubbers! This week in Mum Club 101 we gear up for the holidays and catch up on recent festivities.
In ‘critique of the week’ we discuss "What is the right way to split domestic chores with a partner?" Research by starling bank shows that typical couple will do 63 hours of unpaid household chores each week, but only 29% of couples share these tasks equally.
When it comes to Christmas, the tasks – the hosting, present-buying and cooking – all amp up. They asked 14 couples to share exactly how they split the domestic load. The percentages, and how each couple feels about them, are incredibly revealing.
In ‘nonsense time’ segment we giggle at Christmas Party Stories - Part 2.
We would love to hear from you!

The mental load of Christmas magic
We are back after an impromptu week off (sick note submitted from Vicky). We catch up on our absolute dumpster fire of a visit to the Christmas Tree Farm.
In ‘critique of the week’ we dissect the season of 'Stressmas'. The pressure to make Christmas magical whilst maintaining any sense of sanity and wellbeing during party season is all too familiar. We're giving you permission to set boundaries this month!
And in 'nonsense time' segment we have a good giggle at some truly unhinged Christmas party stories.
We would love to hear from you!
