Ep. 18 - Boys vs. Girls? Jennifer Wege on Raising Twin, parenting beyond stereotypes and Building Community
The MOOBmentShow Notes
On this episode of The MOOBment Podcast, host Laurie Ann sits down with Jennifer Wege — mom to 11-year-old twins, a boy and a girl, and the woman behind the supportive and popular Northern Westchester Moms community.
Together, they dive into one of parenting’s biggest questions: are boys and girls really that different… or are many of the stereotypes simply expectations we place on them?
Jennifer shares what it’s really like raising twins of different genders under the same roof, including the similarities, the differences, and the surprises that come with parenting both a son and a daughter at the exact same age and stage of life.
Laurie Ann and Jennifer also discuss:
Common stereotypes about boys and girls — and whether they hold true Communication styles, emotions, friendships, and independence The pressures parents feel today Why moms need support and community more than ever How Northern Westchester Moms has become a trusted resource and connection point for families in the New York area
It’s an honest, relatable, and thought-provoking MOOBversation about parenting, perspective, and finding your people.
