We had a fantastic time chatting with the talented author and journalist, Jessica Grose, who helped us understand the intricate landscape of parenting today and how she fares as a young adult. We talk about how we can support our young adult children today.
Her book, Screaming on the Inside, the Unsustainability of American Motherhood, is both an historical look at motherhood and a sounding alarm on the state of motherhood today. She acknowledges that one major change in society could make a big difference for parents today. Do you think you know what it is?
Jessica Grose is an Opinion Writer for The New York Times and if you have not read her articles - you must subscribe now. She brings two sides to this interview. The side of a young mother balancing career and family and being a young adult.
She wrote an article for The New York Times titled “Your Mom is Destined to Annoy You: how to manage your inevitable holiday regression,” and then after the height of COVID, when folks started traveling again, she wrote an article titled “The Return of the Holiday Season Agita.”
In today's episode we talk about it all. Jess is truly one of the most grounded young adults I've spoken with in a long time. I told her this in the interview and she takes an educated guess as to why she is this way. We talk about how motherhood has changed over the years but also how it has stayed the same. You will be surprised to hear a quote she shares from The New York Times Parenting columnist Catherine Mackenzie from 1939.
