It&#8217;s just &#8220;for somebody else to take the wheel, even for a little while&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Posting a clip of the podcast to their social media, women were quick to relate to this specific burden in the comments.<\/p>\n<p>In the podcast, Zoe &#8211; looking fed up &#8211; shared, &#8220;Sometimes I&#8217;m like, &#8216;I decided what to buy in the supermarket for food. I&#8217;ve decided what&#8217;s for dinner. I decided that we&#8217;re going to do this and that.
