  • The Great Fall Debate: Mom Hot Takes, Drop-Off, PTA & Date Nights | 79

    Happy September—or should we say Happy New Year? New school routines have us ready for a fresh start, so we’re answering rapid-fire questions about all things fall. From school drop-off outfits to PTA participation, we have opinions—and we want yours, too.

    This week on Bad Wives Club, Liz Fragala + Libby Pisano are talking about:

    • Back-to-school routines and why September feels like a reset

    • Closet cleanouts versus shopping for new fall wardrobe staples
    • School drop-off style: getting dressed up or keeping it casual
    • Joining the PTA or sitting this season out
    • Fall getaways with the kids versus an adults-only trip
    • Fall date-night ideas, favorite scents, and seasonal flavors

                • The Mental Load of Motherhood, Money & Husband Frustrations | 71

                  Toddlerhood, a husband’s now-infamous peach-juice moment, and the invisible weight women carry. Liz + Libby pick up where they left off with life updates and a very real talk about the mental load.

                  This week on Bad Wives Club, Liz Fragala + Libby Pisano are talking about:

                  • Life in the “threenager” era with Delilah and Rocco (tantrums and all)
                  • Liz vents about recent husband moments (yes, the peach juice)
                  • The mental load—and why men just don’t seem to stress the small stuff

                  • Threenager Tantrums, Marriage Frustrations and Liz Turning 34 | 70

                    We recorded a great one… and then lost the file. So we pulled the audio off our camera to save the week—slightly lower-fi, but worth it. Liz turns 34 and reflects on the year, the threenager stage, and husbands who somehow gaslight us.

                    This week, Liz Fragala + Libby Pisano are digging into:

                    • Liz turns 34 and looks back on the past year
                    • Parenting two threenagers—and handling it differently this time
                    • The husband moments that make us question everything
                    • A heads-up: recovered camera audio this week (bear with us!)
                    • STAY IN THE LOOP
