Is My Jealousy Obvious?

Jordana is discovering that motherhood hits a little different when the night nurse clocks out and suddenly the tiny screaming roommates are fully her problem. During an extra hot hike a listener has a panic attack that has left her dreading her happy place and Dr. Naomi breaks down how episodes like these can lead to phobias. A Betch wrestles with the modern mom dilemma of when you see another parent posting objectively unsafe nonsense online and Jordana and Dr. Naomi give their take on how best (or not) to butt in with your two cents. Another listener wonders if her jealousy is as obvious to other people as it is in her own brain, and whether it’s quietly nuking her ability to form meaningful relationships. A woman politely tells a guy she’s not feeling a romantic connection after a date, only for him to respond with the emotional maturity of a dropped Xbox controller. And finally, one exhausted mom tries to figure out how to explain to her partner that an iPad for the kids slash “access to mommy’s nighttime Netflix” is not, in fact, a Mother’s Day gift.
