Oranges, Jerseys, and the Quiet Pressure of Being a Good Mum

from Lise and Sarah · host Those Two Girls

What does a tub of orange wedges say about modern motherhood? Apparently a lot. This week, we dive headfirst into the most controversial topic we've ever tackled: the under-12s footy fruit roster. (Yes, really.) But what starts as a whinge about chopping oranges turns into a deep and surprisingly emotional chat about invisible labour, performative parenting, and the quiet expectations placed on women in community sport. Also in this ep: fat knees, luxury mashed potato, $17 cashews, and the mortifying ordeal of running in slow motion. If you’ve ever wondered why it’s the mums with the chopping boards, this one’s for you.
