And it’s so awkward too! It’s so staged and she’s acting like she’s playing with a child much younger than L actually is. Once the camera is off, it seems like she’s probably done
I read the transcript of that podcast and she was going through so many contortions trying to justify her mothering it was painful. It appears she was playing the part of a 1950s tv mom while her first 3 were very young and is now playing the part of a high-powered executive. She’s unable to recognize there is balance. She’s also not shy about throwing her ability to pay others to pick up the slack to ease her burden (something most people can’t afford). I found the passage about dropping L off and having coffee with her own mother every morning very telling. She says she doesn’t want the relationship to be transactional. She uses that word a lot when speaking of relationships.
