Geriatric Happy Hour: Significant Others Need Not Listen; There’s Nothing to See Here!

On this Geriatric Happy Hour, Sonia and Jessica discuss geriatric wisdom tooth recovery, reasons why mamas get flat tires sometimes, societal improvements that need to happen for parents, (you’re welcome)! Self-validation as moms, things they know in their forties that they wish they knew in their twenties- and also some Easter basket ideas, because Easter is in March for some reason this year; (wtf?)

Topics discussed in this episode:

  • Welcome to this Geriatric Happy Hour (22:56)

  • Societal Improvements That Need to Happen for Moms and Parents in General (23:32)

  • Self-Validation for Moms (38:50)

  • Truths we know in our 40s we wish we knew in our 20s (49:20)

  • Easter Is In March… A Bit of a Rant… This is Not Sunday School, Sonia Used to Be the Real Easter Bunny (01:01:47)

  • When The Easter Basket Ideas Topic Actually Begins, Minus the Crocs (01:06:09)

Why do we have to get places on time when we have toddlers? I feel like this is such a huge expectation because we’re not always fully in control of the timing. I need a two hour window of grace. Add thirty minutes to that when my husband is home!

The Tea On Daylight Savings:

Does daylight saving time end in 2024?

Only until it starts again next March. House lawmakers couldn't decide in 2022 whether to keep daylight savings year-round or abandon it altogether and stick to standard time, according to a statement from Congressman Frank Pallone, the New Jersey Democrat who was then chair of the Energy and Commerce Committee.

"We don't want to make a hasty change and then have it reversed several years later after public opinion turns against it — which is exactly what happened in the early 1970s," Pallone said. (CBSNews.com)
