Bridging the Parenting Gap: Finding Equity in Relationships with Rowan Whitehead {7.8}
Listen on:
This week on Raising Healthy Mothers I welcome Rowan Whitehead to discuss the societal gap that often arises between couples when they have children, causing imbalances in unpaid labour division, parenting and mental load roles. Rowan founded the Facebook group Bridging the Gap after her own experience of motherhood and imbalances in her relationship upon becoming a parent.
In the episode we discuss:
The gaps that arise in relationships when couple become parents
Why the gaps occur and why they often go unnoticed
The difference between equality and equity
The different types of domestic abuse that are often hidden from view
How to start bridging the gap and bringing more balance to your relationship
This was an empowering discussion, often touching on emotional topics that came uncomfortably close to me. I came away feeling motivated to have some frank discussions with my husband!
