Em Rata x Postpartum Sex, Co-Parenting With ChatGPT & Choosing Your "Mum Aesthetic"

Hello beloved EIChilden! This week we're your committed content matriarchs, bringing you a special episode all about mothers, mothering and motherhood.

We start the episode discussing a recent essay in The Cut by actor, model and author Emily Ratajkowski where she explores her post-baby/post-divorce sex life. Is her tale of degradation, millennial men and going from dimly lit bar to baby bedtime aspirational or just plain un-relatable?

Then we move on to the pressure to subscribe to a particular mum-aesthetic- butter moms, analogue moms, tuscan moms, gentle moms... the list goes on and only gets more exhausting. Is this slop or a way for women to retain identity after giving birth?

And finally- could ChatGPT actually be an effective coparent? Female business-owners and AI companies are banking on it, investing big in AI technology that helps mums keep on top of the mental load of parenting. We take a closer and more critical look.

Thank you so much for listening! We'll see you as always next Wednesday!

Oenone's favourite depiction of motherhood is in The Gilmore Girls, Ruchira's a sucker for Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) and Never Have I Ever and Beth thinks motherhood is best depicted in Lady Bird (2017) and The Babadook (2014).
