In this episode, my husband, Joe, joins me to talk about parenting, marriage, and how our relationship has evolved over the years from dating in high school to being parents of two. Joe shares his perspective on having a partner who struggles with mental health, how he best supports me, and reflects on whether he feels guilt or FOMO as a father when he gets time to himself. We discuss our division of labor and how we delineate tasks, how we deal with the mental overload of parenting, and how we moved through our “roommate phase” during postpartum. We also talk about advice for parents with kids having a “preferential parent” phase, the principles we try to live by as a family, working through disagreements while actively parenting, and much more.Key Takeaway / Points:Our relationship journey, from dating in high school to our experience in collegeJoe’s perspective on having a partner who struggles with their mental healthAdvice for those with partners struggling with ADHD and/or emotional overwhelmOn whether he feels guilt as a father when he gets time to himselfOn feeling FOMO with our kids and witnessing special momentsOn our division of labor and how we delineate tasksOn describing the mental load of parenting to someone who doesn’t understandOn moving through the roommate phaseWhat Joe learned from my postpartum journeyOn his favorite parts about being a parent and the most challengingOn Joe’s experience with the transition from one to two kidsAdvice for parents experiencing a preferential parent phaseOn the principles we try to live by as a familyOn working through resentment and arguments while actively parentingOn Joe’s unique relationship with my momHow Joe feels about my jobWhat we’re most proud of each other forThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
