This week, we're revisiting an old favorite from 2015 – Episode 93: What DO You Do All Day?We call bullshit on the “to do list” when none of the ten thousand things we do as a parent everyday counts as a thing we can cross off. Plus, Biz comes to the realization that any problems her kids have may not actually be her fault, Theresa plays mind games with her kid, a listener fails when she realizes the “cock” her son wants to know about isn’t a rooster, and we talk to Sally Hepworth about her debut novel, The Secrets of Midwives.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of MaximumFun.org.
