A mother of six says the quiet part out loud and the internet loses its mind. In this episode, we break down the backlash faced by Sharon Johnson after she warned people to “absolutely not” have six children. Not because she hates her kids. Not because she regrets them. But because lived experience tends to ruin fantasy.

We unpack why honesty about motherhood triggers so much public rage, why “children are a gift” somehow means “never complain ever,” and how social media only tolerates parenting narratives that come wrapped in filters and inspirational music. Is Sharon wrong for being real, or are people just uncomfortable with a woman admitting that love and exhaustion can coexist?

This conversation dives into parental shame, influencer culture, financial and mental strain, and why society applauds transparency in theory but punishes it in practice. If you’ve ever wondered who actually gets to tell the truth about parenting and who gets yelled at for it, this episode is for you.

Spoiler: being mad doesn’t automatically make you right. And honesty isn’t child abuse.
