Parenting coach May Flam joins the show to discuss the realities of burnout, division of labor at home, and how couples can stop keeping score. May shares her personal experience growing up in a home daycare, how that shaped her approach to parenting, and why she and her husband strategically divide household responsibilities—including his unexpected role as the family event planner. She explains the invisible workload many women carry, why "letting things go" isn’t the solution, and how the Fair Play system can help create a more balanced household. The conversation dives into common parenting struggles, from dealing with the never-ending dinner dilemma to handling a partner who just doesn’t see the mess. Plus, May introduces the ultimate relationship hack: giving your spouse the light when they’ve gone on one tangent too many.
