    Episode 2: Why Am I Drowning In Laundry?
    Apr 24 2025
    🎙️ Episode 2: Why Am I Drowning In Laundry?Subtitle: Loads on LoadsCristina has 5 baskets of laundry that have been on her couch for a week. This leads to a much deeper conversation between the moms about the invisible labor women are still carrying. From 1950s housewife propaganda to the real-life stress of asking your partner to please just switch the load, this episode takes a funny, honest, and slightly ranty look at what’s really going on behind the laundry basket and all the loads: mental, emotional, and literal.We unpack it all: gender roles, Eve Rodsky’s Fair Play, suburban vs. city mom laundry problems, and how the so-called “progress” of equality still leaves a lot of socks unmatched.🧺 What We Talk About:The never-ending pile: physical and metaphoricalWhy women are still “the default” at homeCapitalism, gender norms, and the 1950s housewife fantasyGI Bill + suburban development and how it pushed women back in the homeSelf-medicating housewives, and the pressure to smile through itFair Play and how to actually divide labor in modern families📚References1990's Nick at Nite Programming u/mschanandlerbong91.

    Episode 1: How Did I Get Here?

    🎙️ Episode 1: How Did I Get Here? |The Minivan Crisis

    Ever looked around your life and thought, “Whose minivan is this… and how did I become the one driving it?” Same.

    In this premiere episode of Mommy Has Questions, Cristina Sansone opens up about how she went from public health professional in New York City to stay-at-home mom of three in Arkansas — and the identity crisis that came with it. She’s joined by her three NYC mom friends, the co-founders of Among Other Things, as they dive headfirst into the complicated mess of modern motherhood.

    From the pressure to “do it all” to the outdated 1950s ideals still hanging over parenting culture today, these four women are done pretending. It’s time to question everything.

    💬 What We Talk About:

    The invisible grief of losing your former identity

    Patriarchal parenting norms we didn’t agree to

    Why “having it all” feels like a setup

    Community, collective care, and how we start showing up for each other

    The power of honest conversation (with humor of course)
