The Double Standard in Parenting: “We’re More Than Just Mothers For Our Kids”

The recent rumours swirling around the news of Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s divorce have revolved around how Turner hasn’t been present in her children’s lives in recent months, despite that she has been away filming, and that has sparked a conversation about the double standard in parenting that we still see today among working parents. Here to dive more into this and how it also impacts the well-being of both parents - and children - in a family are Najmin Tajudin from makchic and Lavender Tan, a clinical psychologist.
