Vindication of the Rights of Planners

This chapter of Bluey Bros refers to episode 1:22, The Pool. In this podcast we discuss Bandit’s effort to double down on his role as the “fun parent” only to realize that Chilli’s emotional labour is really key to the family’s opportunity to have fun. We talk about the ways these dynamics manifest in our own partnerships and our efforts to work toward assuming a more equal dynamic for our partners and our kids. We touch upon the foundational work of 18th-century feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and her book The Vindication of the Rights of Women.
