November 4, 2019 — Parenting Support in the US and Around the World

Maria and Nisha discuss the expectation to become a parent around the globe and the support systems that are or aren't in place to make parenthood a happier experience.
Our former co-host Drea calls in to share her experience and observations about having and raising a kid in Germany vs the US.

Here are some of the sources we mentioned:

"Many Parents Are Happier Than Non-Parents — But Not in the U.S." — https://time.com/collection/guide-to-happiness/4370344/parents-happiness-children-study/
