On this episode: <a href="https://www.thelucylopez.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lucy Lopez</a> and <a href="https://www.dutchdutchgoose.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Elizabeth Newcamp</a> are talking bad husbands this week. Not their husbands (though both are terrible gift givers). But it seems like everywhere on the internet lately there are a lot of wives posting about terrible things their husbands did, getting negative reactions, and then getting mad that people are attacking their husbands. The Cut even wrote a piece about it called, “<a href="https://www.thecut.com/article/i-love-my-husband-who-hates-me.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">I Love My Husband (Who Hates Me)</a>.” Is it all rage-baiting for clicks? And how much harm on both sides does content like this cause? Is it anti-feminist to defend the husbands? Lucy and Elizabeth unpack it all.&nbsp;&nbsp;After that, they answer a listener’s question about her seven-year-old trying to dress like a seventeen-year-old. You can also get reactions to the listener’s question at the Care and Feeding column by Arionne Nettles: “<a href="https://slate.com/advice/2026/02/parent-advice-fashion-kids-growing-up.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">My 7-Year-Old’s Latest Obsession Is Uh, Very Adult. I Definitely Didn’t Teach Her That</a>.”This week on the Plus Playground: From glitter water bottles to cards you can find at thrift stores, here’s ways to make waiting around fun with kids.Podcast production by Cheyna Roth.
