Episode Details

Are you frustrated that your husband doesn't help with the kids? This episode explores the surprising reasons why he might be disengaged, including the common "demand-withdraw" pattern and the concept of "maternal gatekeeping," where a mother's actions may unintentionally discourage her partner's involvement. We discuss how to break this cycle by changing the conversation from blame to collaboration. Learn practical strategies for discussing the division of labor, sharing domestic demands, and working together to create a more balanced and supportive partnership.
