The Mental Load of Summer Camp | EP052

Get ready to be BOTHERED. Summer camp registration is basically the Olympics for moms and this year Julie signed her kid up from a hot yoga class in Moncton while 900 parents sat ahead of her in a digital queue. From melting phones and downward dog stress to coordinating with other families, overnight camp FOMO and the invisible mental load that somehow always lands on women, Julie unpacks why moms are still the default camp coordinators even when men can run fantasy leagues and corporations. It is about camps, but it is really about resentment, partnership dynamics, outsourcing childhood, grocery strategy, rotisserie chicken survival meals and the quiet rage of doing everything because it is "just easier." If you have ever refreshed a registration page, carried the family calendar in your brain or wondered why you are the CEO of logistics at home, this one is for you.
