S4E3 - S04E003: Double Standards of Parenting

🎙️ In This Episode:
This week, we’re talking about the parenting double standards that somehow still exist — even in 2025.
Why is a dad praised for doing basic parenting tasks while a mom is questioned for the same thing? When did “babysitting your own kids” become a thing, and why won’t it die?
We dig into how we were raised, how expectations followed us into adulthood, and how judgment shows up differently depending on who’s doing the parenting. From doctor visits to park trips to household responsibilities, the bar is uneven — and we’re calling it out.
