    What does it really mean to be a default parent?

    What Does It Really Mean to Be a Default Parent? Who knows the pediatrician's phone number? Who remembers what size diapers the baby wears? Who knows where the missing shoes are, what needs to go on the grocery list, and when the next school event is? If your answer is "me," you might be the default parent. In this episode of Wait Until: The Unfiltered Village, we're talking about what it really means to be the default parent—and why it can feel like you're always on call. We're getting into the mental load, the invisible work, the constant questions, and the exhaustion that comes with being the parent everyone automatically turns to. We're also talking about how someone becomes the default parent, what it can do to your relationship, why "just ask for help" isn't always the solution, and how couples can start sharing the responsibility instead of one parent carrying the entire family in their head. Because being the default parent doesn't necessarily mean your partner isn't involved. Sometimes it simply means you're the one everyone assumes will handle it. Come hang out with us for an honest, funny, and probably way too relatable conversation about the reality of modern parenthood.
