  • Sunday Nice Things: The Family That Travels Together

    Sunday Nice Things: The Family That Travels Together
    Nov 24 2024
    Today we're dropping an episode of Committed in your feed. As a parent, how do you transcend the regular run of the mill parent/child relationship? How do you turn your bond into a real friendship? When Jessica's two kids were young, she pulled them out of traditional school, began homeschooling them and started traveling abroad. They left the U S a decade ago in search of a more authentic path. Since then they've lived in an RV in Europe for three years, learned to sail and crossed the Atlantic together as a family. This has been challenging and insane and also delightful and wonderful. Today we're talking to Jessica and Largo, her 17-year-old son, about how this lifestyle has strengthened their bond. This is the first in a two-part episode. In the first episode we dig into the foundation of their relationship and next week are getting into the mother-son duo's decision to hike the Appalachian trail together.

  • Debunking the Myths of Traditional Motherhood

    Debunking the Myths of Traditional Motherhood
    Nov 12 2024
    What is a good mother? What is a bad mother. What is a traditional mother? Let's sit with all those questions for just a hot second and then realize that there's no right answers. Humans lived for 95% of our existence as hunter-gatherers: we raised children communally and in a way that was dramatically different from contemporary post-industrial societies. What can we take away from historical models of caregiving to help us get rid of the guilt and shame that social media heaps on us? We discuss it all with science writer Elena Bridgers including: Modern mothering lacks historical precedent. Current parenting models are harder on mothers. Leisure time is crucial for mothers' well-being. Community support significantly aids parenting. Myths about traditional motherhood need debunking. Understanding evolutionary biology can inform modern parenting. It's important to explore alternative parenting options. Having different options and being able to talk through what might work for you is key. The conversation should focus on maternal mental health, not just children's well-being. Moms are struggling with guilt and burnout from balancing work and childcare. Social isolation is a significant issue for modern mothers. The traditional models of motherhood are not representative of our evolutionary past. Children in hunter-gatherer societies had more autonomy and playtime. Parenting skills are often learned through experience, not instinct. Teenagers used to play a significant role in childcare, which has diminished. The structure of modern society contributes to feelings of loneliness among mothers. We need to rethink the support systems for mothers to improve mental health. Follow Elena's newsletter here.
