Catie and Danielle kick things off celebrating a major win: the crying drop-offs are officially over (mostly). From there it's a full download on summer survival — ditching the color-coded camp spreadsheet, surviving soccer-night meltdowns, and a therapy confession about laying out matching outfits (still counts as controlling, apparently).

They talk about what a "90's summer" really means for today's overscheduled, overtracked, overwatched kids, plus the ongoing bribery campaign to survive one more day before Jack gets his pet fish. Spoiler: the fish will fight the mirror and lose, and everyone's doing a better job than they think.
