Sarah and Laura recorded this episode together in Boston (well - they tried. This version ended up being round 2!). They open with a discussion of time spent away from the home, and then dive into the (somewhat related) topic.

This episode was inspired by a listener who was inspired to add up the house her kids spent with her after her partner wondered if the day care providers were the ones really raising her kids. She found that during a typical week, there WERE slightly more waking hours spent at daycare for her children. What are the implications?

Laura and Sarah take a deep dive into this meaty topic, addressing quality vs quantity, the value of time spent with kids vs doing other things, uneven gender expectations, and more.
