mental bandwidth

In a totally different context, this mental bandwidth occupancy is the main reason why  many women find it so difficult to do research or any seriously creative work after having children. Issues like "is there enough milk in the house", " is kid2 developing a flu", "what should I make for dinner when guests are expected", "did kid1 finish his project"  are not earth shattering, important issues. But these are the things that need immediate attention and HAVE to be done.

By tradition, or conditioning, most men do not seem to have these worries. Anyway, wife will attend to it, so why worry!!
