Bad Wives Club

Libby is entering her “I just want to stay in my little family bubble” era. Between the kids, the house, the routines, and just… LIFE, she has officially reached the point where the thought of adding another social plan to the calendar feels absolutely exhausting.

We’re talking about that phase of motherhood where you genuinely love your friends, love seeing people, and still somehow want to cancel every single plan and be home in sweatpants by 6 PM. Is it burnout? Is it getting older? Is it motherhood? Or are we simply realizing that sometimes our favorite place to be is home with our people?

Plus, we get into the guilt of saying no, feeling like you should be more social, and why protecting your peace might actually be the most social thing you can do right now.

In this episode, we take you through a real day in our lives as two moms with two different looking summer schedules.

Libby shares what a typical day looks like as a stay-at-home mom with baby Sonny while her two older boys spend their mornings at camp. From her morning coffee, packing up and out the door, to keeping a baby entertained, managing the house, and getting everyone through the bedtime routine, she gives a behind-the-scenes look at life at home with three boys.

Liz shares her perspective as a working mom, balancing work, summer camp schedules, drop-offs, pick-ups, and everything in between. Together, they compare their routines, talk about the differences between being a stay-at-home mom (for the last 2 weeks of maternity leave) and a working mom during the summer.

From coffee to camp, work to play, dinner to bedtime—this episode is a full, honest look at what a summer day really looks like for both us!

This week we're answering your parenting and mom-life questions, and it's clear Libby is a '90s mom while Liz is our resident "wannabe crunchy" mom. We compare our different parenting styles as we tackle some of your questions.

We chat about when kids are ready to play outside without parents, why we think too much time indoors and online can sometimes be more harmful than free play outside, and the age we would let a 6-year-old use a public bathroom alone (which naturally leads to a conversation about moms, dads, and taking opposite-gender kids into public restrooms).

We also answer whether it's normal to argue more before family vacations (spoiler: yes!), why the mental load is at an all-time high before a trip, whether we're spending every weekend out or trying to save money, when we transitioned our toddlers into big-kid beds, and our kids' current favorite toys. We wrap things up by talking about Nintendo Switch, screen time, and Liz's experience introducing gaming to her son.

This week on Bad Wives Club, we're kicking things off with the beauty products we're currently loving before celebrating Liz's upcoming 35th birthday and why we're fully embracing everything our thirties have to offer. Then we dive into all things parenting—from trying different parenting approaches to teaching our kids gratitude and instilling responsibility in our little humans from an early age. We also chat about why so many moms feel disconnected from their husbands during the summer when the kids are home full-time, and remind ourselves that none of us are alone in the chaos of raising little humans.

Summer is here!! This week we're sharing exciting travel plans, including trips to Cape Cod, Italy, and Aruba, while Libby embraces a summer of local adventures with her boys and new baby Sonny. From vacation packing and family travel to finding fun close to home, we’re diving into what summer looks like in this season of motherhood.

In the second half of the episode, Libby reflects on soaking up these final weeks as a stay-at-home mom before returning to work in August. She opens up about why this has been her best postpartum experience yet, prioritizing healthy eating, consistent workouts, and taking care of herself so she can show up fully for the chaos, joy, and nonstop adventures that come with raising three boys.

Whether you’re jet-setting this summer or staying close to home, this episode is a reminder to enjoy the season you’re in and make the most of the moments that matter.
