In this episode we talk about a podcast clip that Ash listened to where a wife complains to her husband about his lack of intuition in meeting needs around the house. We discuss how stating the problem is a good step towards the solution, but isn’t the solution in and of itself.

In this episode we take time to answer one of your listener questions!
We mention a study on parenting and happiness and there are several publications that compare families with and without kids with (not surprisingly) mixed results. While we won't point to one specific study, factors like income, geography, availability of parental leave, all play a role in parental satisfaction and happiness.
