Women Don't Do That (WDDT)

Welcome to "The Summer Vault," where we're taking a break but still bringing you all your favourite classic podcast episodes throughout the summer. Join us as we revisit and explore cherished moments, featuring special guests who share their insights and wisdom.

Have you ever asked yourself if it’s even possible to be a calm, happy mom? Maybe you’ve looked at the state of the world and wondered if having children has become irresponsible? Or maybe you just need some help with getting your kids through school. In this episode, one of Canada’s most trusted parenting experts gives us a dose of reality and hope. Ann Douglas is an award-winning, bestselling parenting author and the weekend parenting columnist for CBC Radio. Some of her books include The Mother of All Book series, Parenting Through the Storm, and most recently, Happy Parents, Happy Kids. She tells us why dads are typically enjoying parenting more than moms, and gives practical advice to help parenting become the positive adventure you always wanted it to be.
