EP571. In this solo episode, Renee dives into a surprisingly heated topic: why some moms cannot accept that other women have equal partners. After a Reddit comment accused her of being “lazy” because her husband does school drop-off, Renee unpacks the bigger cultural issues behind reactions like this.

She discusses why an involved dad is still seen as a threat to traditional motherhood roles, how internalized misogyny leads women to attack other women instead of the actual problem, and why cognitive dissonance and jealousy play a huge role in mom-to-mom judgment.

This episode explores mom-martyr culture, equal partnership, mental load, and the emotional triggers that arise when women see support they themselves haven’t received. If you’ve ever felt judged for having help, or wished your partner showed up more, this is a validating, honest, and deeply relatable listen.

Topics include:

• Mom martyrdom and outdated expectations

• Why equal partnership challenges people

• Internalized misogyny and mom-to-mom policing

• Jealousy disguised as moral judgment

• What it actually means to have support in motherhood

• The real story behind Renee’s “drop-off drama”
