Momma Smash seems to have done a pretty good job
Yeah, but we haven't really seen that. And I was thinking more in terms of coping with a small baby. I imagine that older children are a lot different. I'm not actually sure the show is wrong that babies are so difficult to deal with alone (what would I know?!) but I did find it quite a heavy theme in this episode--the doctor suggesting her husband should take shifts, Tami's extreme fatigue, the way she had to call someone to pick her up from the hospital...

I guess I'm just a bit disappointed because I was looking forward to seeing Tami tough it out and be supermum to the baby, albeit with some hurdles to overcome.

This feels far more like they'll go down the path of having her either get coach to come back or (more likely?) start leaning on this new guy.
