Child Care Options: How Parents Can Work Together

Modern Husbands Podcast

Welcome to the Modern Husbands podcast, where any combination of Dr. Bruce Ross, Christian Sherrill, and Brian Page host national experts who share winning ideas to manage money and the home as a team.
We welcome Paige Connell to today’s episode and we discuss how working husbands can best support their working wives in a marriage that values teamwork.
Paige is a working mother of four who uses her platform with a massive and quickly growing following on TikTok and Instagram to share her thoughts on the mental load, parenting, and her career.
Her goal is to raise awareness about the mental load of motherhood and advocate for equitable relationships for couples.
00:00 Introduction
02:04 Paige, let’s start with sharing a little bit about yourself. Can you tell us a bit about your family?
05:30 Let’s start with the problem that gets the headlines in the press: the cost of child care. How does the cost of child care impact your family, and others who follow you?
08:40 The locus of control for you and our listeners is how we can work through this problem. Understanding this, can you walk us through how working husbands can use parental leave to support their spouses and children?
16:47 As parents transition into childcare, the mental load of managing a home can begin to take its toll. What is the mental load, and how can a couple work together to avoid placing an unfair burden of the mental load on one spouse?
24:40 Some of our listeners are exploring childcare options. Can you walk us through the different types and the associated costs?
32:40 As children grow, so does the need for planned and thoughtful shared parenting styles. Can you walk us through what this journey has looked like for you?
38:50 What is one piece of simple and actionable advice you want to share to our listeners that they can apply in their lives?
