No Guilt Mom | Overcoming Mom Guilt, Parenting Tips, & Self Care for Moms 396: "You Never Help with Bedtime!": The Marriage Fight on Repeat (and how to fix it) with April Eldemire, LMFT
“Why am I the only one who knows when the kids need a bath… or that bedtime isn’t optional?” If that sounds like your internal monologue on repeat, you’re not alone—and you’re not crazy. When you’re constantly stuck in the same fight about chores, parenting, or just feeling alone in the relationship, it’s more than frustrating—it’s exhausting.
This week, we’re joined by licensed therapist and marriage alignment expert April Eldemire, LMFT, who shares why the issue isn’t love, but a lack of clarity. She walks us through a simple 4-part ritual that helps couples reconnect, reduce resentment, and get back on the same team.
So if you’re tired of doing it all (and being the one who always has to bring it up), this episode gives you the words, the structure, and the encouragement to shift things—for good.
