Mom Wars

This week on the Mom Wars podcast Bethany and Kara discuss Montgomery County and the Supreme Court, the Trump administrations pro-natal incentives, and RFK Jr and vaccines. Plus the big question right now: would you leave your kid in a hotel room?

In this wildly unpredictable episode, we’re cutting it *way* too close at the airport, diving headfirst into the whirlwind of Passover prep, and sharing the unforgettable (and slightly graphic) tale of how Bethany’s kid was born in a car. Buckle up—literally and figuratively—as we navigate travel anxiety, family traditions, and New Jersey birthing energy.

Evan Pokroy joins from Israel to discuss with Kara and Bethany the blessings of his large family, raising his kids after his wife passed away last year, and Bethany shares how Evan’s family inspired her own. 

Kara traveled with her 6-month old for the first time which prompts Bethany to tell the horror stories about her worst trips with the kids. Plus Kara's dog gets an abortion. Yes, really. 

Mom Wars welcomes our first guest, Ali Carine D.O. who practices pediatric medicine in Columbus (OH). We talk about "high anxiety" parents, nightmare patients, vaccine schedules, measles and, more importantly, how the medical profession needs to regain the trust they lost in the Covid pandemic.

This week Bethany recounts taking the family to a water park which stirs up some unfortunate memories. Plus: Daphne teeths The difference between boys and girls Teaching the kids to cook The momentous decision to have more kids Remember to subscribe to the Substack! 

In their premiere episode Bethany and Kara take on the online "Tradwife" accounts and wonder if they're serious, parody or something else; plus conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair says she's Elon Musk's baby mommy.
