from Bothered · host Slate6ix Media

Get ready to be BOTHERED as Julie Kim cracks open the empty stocking epidemic a holiday tradition where moms do everything and somehow wake up to absolutely nothing. While everyone else is unwrapping surprises Julie and women everywhere are left staring into a sad hollow stocking wondering how this became acceptable behavior. Julie tells the brutally honest story of her husband back when he simply did not do stockings at all and how that era very nearly tested the limits of Christmas spirit and marriage patience And it gets worse. Julie shares a story about a friend whose husband skipped the stocking so hard it almost ended the relationship entirely because nothing says I appreciate you like zero effort wrapped in festive neglect. What follows is a perfectly unhinged mix of marital expectations emotional labor holiday hypocrisy and the silent rage of women who made Christmas magic happen for everyone else. This episode is funny uncomfortable deeply relatable and guaranteed to start fights in group chats.
