Are you accidentally teaching your boys that household work is “mom’s job”?
It’s a common slip — saying “help me” when asking kids to do chores. The problem? Those two little words can plant a seed that cooking, cleaning, and laundry belong to women, and that boys are only there to help out.
That’s not the message we want to send. Instead, what if we raised our sons to see household responsibilities as gender-neutral — and paired that with emotional intelligence that equips them for life?
In this episode, Anne opens up about her journey as a “boy mom” (not the toxic social media version!) and the intentional ways she’s teaching her sons to step up at home, observe their surroundings, and feel safe expressing big emotions.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:
Raising sons who are responsible and emotionally aware doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the small, everyday language shifts and intentional conversations that build the foundation for the men they’ll become.
