What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms

We Caught Our Spouses Being Awesome


Listen Later

We asked the moms in our Facebook group about times they caught their spouses being awesome. Maybe it's supporting us in our difficult career choices. Maybe it's reading books on certain issues to do with our kids. Maybe it's brushing hair. (But don't get Amy started on that last one!)

In this episode, Amy and Margaret discuss:

  • Being good vs. being awesome
  • Subverting gender roles in the home
  • Qualities you wish for in a boyfriend vs. in a husband

  • Here are links to the resources mentioned in the episode:
