There's a frequent imbalance of responsibilities between partners especially during festive seasons- a 2024 study from El País found that 55.7% of women report heightened stress during the holidays, compared to 42.5% of men, largely due to responsibilities like organizing family gatherings, decorating, and gift shopping.
