In this episode, Emma and Sara answer a question from a listener who wonders why they now hate Saturdays as the primary parent to two children, aged 5 and 2, even though they are good at self-care and have a helpful spouse. In their response, your hosts dig into feminist philosophy and psychology theory, along with their experience as mothers to children that same age.
