Care and Feeding | Slate's parenting show - Why Won’t My Childless Friends Plan Stuff?

On this episode: Zak, Jamilah and producer Maura talk about how to navigate friendships with people who have more, or fewer, kids than you do. A member of the Slate Parenting Facebook group is wondering how it’s on her and her husband to plan everything… even though they have three kids, and a lot of their friends don’t have any.

And then, we’ll circle up for a round of recommendations… and on Slate Plus, we’ll answer some frequently asked questions about how we make the show.

If you’re not part of the Slate Plus community, we hope you’ll consider joining! Keep reading to learn how.
