Mr. Mom, Meet the Motherload 👨‍👦‍👦✨

This week on The Motherload, we crack open a cold LaCroix and dive into the world of dad moms, working parents, and the not-so-gentle juggle of modern family life—with guest co-host Haley Imesch and our one-of-a-kind guest: Russell Bauer. 💪Russell is an engineer, a husband, a father of two, and according to Haley... an elite-level toddler scrap eater and professional water bottle filler. From talking gender norms in the workplace to dissecting the emotional politics of youth sports, this episode goes deep—and still finds time for laughs, Slurpees, and cheerleading scholarships. 🙃🏒🩰🔑 Key Takeaways:"Keeping score" in parenting will drive you nuts—notice the unseen labor and say thank you anyway.Supportive dads aren’t unicorns—they’re necessary partners in modern parenting.You can be a dad mom, a mom dad, or maybe… just a parent. 🤯Travel sports aren’t for the faint of heart, but the car ride convos are where the magic happens.💬 Russell's Quote of the Week:"You see 100% of what you do… and maybe 50% of what your partner does. That’s why gratitude matters."🎧 Tune in to laugh, learn, and maybe reflect a little deeper on what partnership and parenting really mean in today's world.👉 Don’t forget to rate, review, and share with your favorite messy-parent-friend who needs to know they’re not alone. #DadMomEnergy
