Hillary Frank is the creator of The Longest Shortest Time podcast and the author of Weird Parenting Wins.\n\n\u201cI think motherhood is not valued in our culture. We don\u2019t value the work of mothers both at home and then at work. Mothers are the most discriminated against people at work. They\u2019re discriminated more against than fathers or people without children. Mothers are promoted less, hired less, and paid less. People are forced out of their jobs after they announce that they\u2019re pregnant, they\u2019re passed over for promotions, and they get horrible, discriminatory comments like, \u2018Oh, don\u2019t you really think you want to be at home? Do you really want to come back?\u2018 And American work culture is not set up for people to be parents and mothers.\u201d\n\nThanks to MailChimp, The Great Courses Plus, and Pitt Writers for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\n\n\n\n@hillaryfrank\n\n\nhillaryfrank.com\n\n\n[0:35] The Longest Shortest podcast\n\n\n[6:00] The Special Misogyny Reserved for Mothers (New York Times \u2022 Dec 2018)\n\n\n[19:20] This American Life archives on family\n\n\n[41:35] Weird Parenting Wins: Bathtub Dining, Family Screams, and Other Hacks from the Parenting Trenches (Penguin \u2022 2019)\nLearn more about your ad choices.
