Join two millennial moms and their boomer mothers to discuss the mental load.
This week Katlynn and Angie host their moms and mother-in-laws to discuss the mental load and get perspective from a different generation.
We have our moms here because we thought it’d be a fun way for people to get to know us but also because as we’ve discussed so often on the podcast, the mental load is gendered, it’s generational and there are so many social standards that keep it in place so we think it’s going to be fun to hear what our moms thought about the mental load raising us and what their thoughts are on it now that they’ve got adult children and grandchildren.
Together we discuss:
- What our moms knew about the mental load or how much they thought about it as they were mothering. Bringing us to one of the most shocking realizations that we discuss in the next episode.
- What they talked about with their friends about the mental load
- The biggest differences between millennials raising kids and their generation when they raised kids
- How they divided and thought about work amongst their kids
- What their expectations for their husbands were
- What they'd change if they could parent again
