One Bad Mother, Episode 316: Parenting with Chronic Pain, Plus NYTimes Parenting Editor Jessica Grose

Biz is missing this week, so Theresa is joined by her partner Jesse Thorn to talk about parenting with migraine headaches. What does parenting look like while also dealing with a serious medical condition and how does that affect our parenting partnership? Is there a good way to communicate needs or resentment? Plus we talk to the lead editor of New York Times Parenting, Jessica Grose.
