Parenting is supposed to be a team effort, right? So why does it sometimes feel like the weight isn’t evenly distributed? In this episode of Thoughts from My Rage Walk, we’re talking about The Balancing Act—that tricky, guilt-ridden, sometimes infuriating feeling when parenting feels… uneven.
Lately, I’ve been noticing that my husband puts a lot of intentional time and energy into his 14-year-old, while our 4-year-old twins get the overstimulated, “just trying to survive the chaos” version of us. Is it just me, or do dads seem to shine in one-on-one, big-kid mode, while moms are left drowning in toddler insanity? We’ll talk about how this dynamic plays out, why it’s so frustrating, and whether I’m being petty or just pointing out the obvious.
If you’ve ever felt like the default parent or wondered how to make things feel a little more fair, this one’s for you. Let’s vent, let’s laugh, and let’s figure out how to not resent our partners (too much).
🎧 Tune in for some real talk, some questionable solutions, and—at the very least—the comfort of knowing you’re not the only one feeling this way.
