How Not to Hate Your Husband After Kids: Marriage, Motherhood & the Postpartum Shift

from Moms Interrupted · host Moms Interrupted

This week on Moms Interrupted, Natasha and Taylor dive into How Not to Hate Your Husband After Kids by Jancee Dunn — and honestly? It's the book every pregnant mom and dad need to read before the baby arrives. They break down why relationships shift so dramatically after kids, who's really doing the mental load at home, and why the "helping" language needs to go. Plus: the dishwasher personality types that are apparently causing couples to fight, why weekends with kids hit different, and how delegating (for real) can change everything. They also get into postpartum round two being harder physically but easier mentally, the pressure to show up in the world before you're ready, and why the nuclear family model might be at the root of it all.If you've ever wondered why you and your partner feel like strangers after having a baby - this one's for you.Topics covered: postpartum relationships, mental load, division of labor, communication after kids, stay-at-home mom mental health, postpartum depression, nuclear family, couples therapy, baby's first birthday, and more.XX,Natasha & Taylor
