Summary
This week on 40ish, Lauren has to calculate exactly what a wee is worth and if a parking ticket is better or worse than wetting yourself. Nicol is debating whether she’s hormonally annoyed or just genuinely irritated… and whether there’s even a difference. Meanwhile we tackle a very relatable midlife dilemma about working from home, washing up wars, and the silent rage that builds when one partner washes only their own dishes and leaves the rest stacked like a passive-aggressive art installation. Plus, listener meltdowns include: the outrageous price of Easter eggs (and “bouji inclusions” that apparently cost extra now) and a full-scale marital chocolate war, featuring hidden Easter eggs, strategic quinoa placement, and a partner with the tracking ability of a trained Cadbury sniffer dogIf you enjoy honest chats about midlife relationships, marriage dilemmas, hormones, family life, and the ridiculous realities of being 40ish, this episode will feel painfully familiar.
