So, at parents, what we're really trying to do is ease people back into, I don't even

want to say normal life, but some sort of busier life.

While helping them maintain what I think are like a new set of values that the pandemic

made clear of, there were some major silver linings to the pandemic for families.

One was people felt a lot less competitive in terms of everything, like how they looked,

how their house looked, how their kids performed in school, whether they got the lead in the

play, whether they were the star forward on the soccer team, like all of that stuff became

very small and we realized how insignificant it was.

This is Sarah and Beth, you're listening to Pantsuit Politics, the home of Grace-filled

and political conversations.

Hello and thank you so much for joining us for another episode of Pantsuit Politics.

Today we're going to talk about what's going on with voting rights across the country

and in the United States Senate.

Then we're sharing our conversation with Julia Edelstein, the editor-in-chief of Parents

Magazine, who talked to us about how the pandemic impacted parenting for lots of different

age groups and what the long-term ramifications on our culture might be.

And then outside of politics we're responding to a question about how to navigate marital

conflict, which after all does seem to have been a widespread side effect of the stress

caused by pandemic parenting.

Before we get started, we wanted to give a quick shout out to Steve and Mariah.

They've been on our show before.

They're the host of Swing Left's podcast, How We Win.
