The Bat Mitzvah Circle Jerk And Other Rules We Refuse to Follow

This week on Milfish, Rachael and the hosts dive into the chaos of parenting meets real life—where babysitters leave pizza boxes out, pillows in the kitchen, and toy-strewn lofts that can send even the most chill mom into meltdown mode. Rachael shares her “showroom house” standards, the art of giving babysitters toddler-level instructions, and the fine line between venting and just losing it. The crew also unpacks how they each handle those frustrating moments—whether it’s passive-aggressive texts, drunken late-night cleaning, or simply biting your tongue. And just when you think it’s all babysitter drama, the conversation pivots to bat mitzvahs, big spending, and why sometimes a family trip beats a six-figure party.
