AnchorMOMS: The Podcast, Episode 126 Jul 27, 2022

Show notes

The AnchorMOMS commiserate with Cleveland anchor and mom Jamie Sullivan. Jamie has two young boys and knows the work/life/mom struggle well. It's a struggle made worse by a recent a New York Times article that declares constant sleep deprivation causes irreversible brain damage. And it ain't good news for most moms (or anyone?). If you think you're just going to catch up on sleep on the weekends...you're probably wrong. Cue the horror music. Also, why you might just let your kid wear that Spiderman costume to the beach, preschool, church and the birthday party. Because, really, what's the point in losing 30 minutes of your life to arguing with a 4-year-old? Nope. Don't do it. But also some tips for maybe convincing said child NOT to wear Spidey to your great aunt's funeral.
