The Organized-ish Parent Podcast

Are you carrying the weight of the household and parenting on your own? In this episode of the Organized-ish Parent Podcast, I’m breaking down the 10 biggest problems moms face when there’s no communication about household chores and raising capable kids. From constant disagreements with your spouse, to kids getting mixed messages, to resentment quietly building at home — silence is costing you more than you realize. But here’s the good news: once you see these pitfalls, you can change the pattern. You’ll learn: ✅ Why lack of communication leads to uneven workloads and resentment ✅ How kids manipulate “the easier parent” when parents aren’t aligned ✅ The hidden cost of not teaching kids responsibility early ✅ How silence erodes respect and teamwork in your home ✅ Simple ways to spark healthy conversations with your partner If you’ve ever felt like a “married single mom,” this episode is for you. It’s time to reclaim your voice, your time, and raise kids who can step up and contribute. 👉 Listen now, take notes, and start the conversation with your spouse today. Enjoy the episode!
