How to invite your partner to watch the Fair Play Documentary & Conversation Starters.

Burnout or breakup are constant dangers when one partner carries too much of the mental load of looking after the home and family. Here’s how to spread the burden more evenly.

It's the most wonderful time of the year… and somehow also the busiest! In addition to everything already on our plates, the holidays pile on an extra layer of shopping, wrapping, decorating, mailing, cooking, hosting, and staying on top of all the little details that keep the holiday magic alive.

That's why we created the Fair Play Holiday Guide in collaboration with Jam Family Calendar – to help take the pressure off, share the load more fairly, and make space for the good stuff: joy, connection, and maybe even the rest we all need.

In the Fair Play deck, Birth Control/Family Planning is its own standalone card, and for good reason. This is often one of the most emotionally and logistically complex aspects of life planning, and it should never default to the birthing partner. Download this conversation starter to get insight into how to CPE the Family Planning card. *This guide focuses primarily on the conception and fertility-planning phase of growing your family.

If you’ve been struggling to figure out what childcare or household support actually makes sense for your family—or you’re entering a new season like welcoming a new baby, navigating a return to work, or balancing kids and aging parents—you’re not alone.

This guide is here to help lighten the emotional and invisible load of grief, whether you’re grieving yourself or supporting someone who is.

Fair Play is a movement that values what we call EDE—Explicitly Defined Expectations. As we have watched countless individuals go through a wild card like divorce without protections in place for the unpaid labor they have performed in their home, the Fair Play Policy Institute believes that every partnership would be well served by establishing a partnership agreement. Let’s get one misconception
out of the way: having a prenup or a post-nup doesn’t mean you are planning for divorce. It means you value a relationship where both partners feel valued and financially rewarded for contributing to their family’s success. These contracts are simply insurance against a messy, costly, lengthy divorce.
