This Week's Episode:
After a couple months off we are back to talk about how mom's can focus on being the mom they want to be, not the mom they think they are supposed to be.
Our discussion is inspired by "Yes Day," and the way that moms and dads can often see and think about parenting differently. We might have different eyes, and often mom's feel more pressure (internally and externally) to "do everything in parenting right."
It is important to be grounded in order to feel freedom to enjoy time with our kids. We all feel judged and guilty, no matter how disciplined or loose we are as parents. So, how do moms and dads work together to find more freedom, enjoyment, and connection with their kids?
The Stat of the Week is about the pandemic's impact on young adults living with their parents.

Toxic Positivity in Marriage #092
This Week's Episode:
We are talking about toxic positivity again, but this time inside our marriages. We look at how passivity and "equanimity" (if we even use that word correctly) can make your spouse feel crazy.
This conversation covers wives inviting their husbands to communicate their feelings in order to fight the isolation, loneliness and feelings of confusion wives often feel. We encourage husbands to start from a place of legitimizing wives' feelings even if they aren't packaged right.
On the lighter side, we also introduce horse and froggy and talk about how much baking soda is being used to fight smells in our house right now.
The Stat of the Week is about stay-at-home-dad trends since the 1970s.

Toxic Positivity in Parenting #091
This Week's Episode:
We are back! Again...
After a longer-than-expected layoff, we are back to talk about toxic positivity in our parenting--how we sometimes rush over our kids' feelings in an attempt to make them "feel better." If we are being honest, it is often about us wanting to feel better without really acknowledging our kids' hurt / pain / disappointment / fear and just sitting with them in it.
We also talk about how David remains an idiot in countless ways, and why he needs to trim his eyebrow(s).
The Stat of the Week is about how much less time married parents are spending together...alone.
