Mateřská.com focus on the trials and tribulations of motherhood

Maternity leave, as most parents know, is no holiday despite what the Czechs call it (mateřská dovolena). In this week’s programme, we play music from the duo Mateřská.com, focusing largely on how tough it can be to take care of little kids, often with insignificant help from their spouses.
