In this hilariously honest episode of the Guide to Poor Parenting Podcast, Jason and Jennifer grab their pumpkin-spiced wine glasses and dive headfirst into the chaos of fall family life. From surviving a “wholesome” trip to the pumpkin patch (spoiler: there were meltdowns) to debating whether kids or dogs are easier to manage, it’s a full hour of relatable parenting mayhem.

Listen as our fearless hosts share therapy-worthy moments, Reddit parenting confessions, and the eternal mysteries of the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus. Plus, Jennifer recounts an unforgettable dinner with a 4-year-old food critic who has a lot of opinions about pizza.

If you’ve ever bribed your kid with snacks, argued about screen time, or pretended not to hear the word “Mom” for five minutes of peace — this one’s for you. Pour yourself a glass, laugh along, and remember: we’re all just doing our best (poorly).

Cocktail: Line 39 Red Blend

Snack Time: Chocolove Milk Chocolate
