High Maintenance MommyAuthor: Carissa Oswald
A podcast for the unconventional Mother. For all of my canna moms fighting the stigma everyday, but intentionally parenting nonetheless. For the one doing their best to show up to Parenthood, but can wholeheartedly admit it can be a shit show some days. Talking just enough shit to make us giggle through those rough patches. When I became a Mother I wondered where this village was that everyone spoke so highly of. Can I get a lightly used one at Goodwill somewhere? So, I created my own village. And here we are. Doing it everyday, one more gray hair, and sleepless night at a time! Language: en Genres: Kids & Family, Parenting Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

We should have expectations.
Episode 6
Saturday, 8 July, 2023
We all know the saying, “You shouldn’t do something nice if you’re expecting something in return.” While I mostly agree with this statement, I eventually want to be able to expect the bare minimum from people in my life. At what point do we say, Ok I deserve someone to show up in return? I have spent years giving, and giving, and giving- but to what end? I’m sorry, but yes, at this point in my life I expect some sort of kindness in return. There is a difference between making everything transactional, and genuinely knowing that you deserve more than crumbs in return. I do have some expectations as I hope the ones I love expect more from me as well. When it comes to who is important in your life- have some expectations and standards. I expect my partner to show up as a father and partner. As he expects me to show up as a Mother.
