Ep 9: From Daycare to Elementary School: What No One Tells Working Moms
Manage episode 505159712 series 3688005
“If my kids can smell me, they’re next to me.” 😂 In this episode of Who Let Me Do This?, I spill the real tea on the transition from daycare to elementary school—the hidden costs, the loss of control, the dreaded pickup line, and why no one warned us how brutal school breaks are for working moms.
You’ll hear the viral cheese stick emergency moment, plus the simple bedtime routine I swear by (aka Pillow Talk) that finally gets kids to talk about their day—without the “I don’t remember” brick wall.
Equal parts chaotic and comforting, this one is for every mom balancing a career, little kids, and a school schedule that makes zero sense.
If you vibed with this episode, here’s how you can keep the chaos going:
