June Cleaver made parenting look so simple, while perfect soccer moms today can make it seem unachievably hard. Andrew Bomback is an associate professor of medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, and he joins host Krys Boyd to discuss how parenting became a verb, why we’re stuck on the notion that parents can have it all, and how to break free of the intense cultural pressure surrounding parenting. His book is “Long Days, Short Years: A Cultural History of Modern Parenting.”
