As lawyers, we are often brought in to help others with their conflict and difficult situations. However, we are never really taught how to manage a difficult and challenging conversation.

Check out this May 2, 2022 article from the Washington Post published in the IBJ. Discussing findings from an analysis published in the journal Work, Employment and Society, the author highlights: "Women with children reduced housework from 18 to 14 hours a week as they went from earning zero to half of the household income. But after passing her husband’s salary, a woman’s home tasks increased to nearly 16 hours a week, the analysis found. In contrast, a man’s housework ranged from six to eight hours a week when he was the primary breadwinner but then declined as his wife out-earned him."
