In this episode sisters Alexandra and Astrid discuss what is the mom complex and how it compares to mom guilt. Hint: they are not discussing the mom complex referring to dating terms. Many know the mom complex when it refers to a guy dating females who mirror traits of his mother. We are talking about the mom complex as it relates to care vs. loving your children.

Big sister, Astrid Ferguson discusses a conversation she was recently in and the shameful thoughts that came up for working moms who are also breadwinners. Some of these households also relate to stay at home dads. The unnatural conversation that transpire when mom's feel guilt when it relates to hiring others to fulfill mom duties many don't particular enjoy. The shaming guilt behind not budgeting for a nanny for instance as a mothers career progressive and how many of us confuse care for love.

This is a very untraditional episode as the navigation of the very serious yet taboo topics surrounding mom complex also sometimes referred to as mom guilt.
