Aging & Raging

Ahh the breeze in your hair, sand between your toes, and the sound of an off-schedule baby screaming bloody murder while his brother whines for the ipad. Welcome to your vacation with kids. This week we dial in on why vacations with kids suck: it's the kids. You can change your location/time zone/outfit but THERE IS NO VACATION FROM MOTHERHOOD. So save your air miles, put paw patrol on again, and slam that marg on your couch. Plus, Sarah drops a BOMB.

Back to work after a baby? Like having a baby is some kind of vacation 😂 . Well,  have you gone back to the work force after a baby? When? At 2 months, 3 months, a year, a decade? Or did you become a stay at home mom? Or did you work part time? Or did you work full time from home? Or did you work part time from home? Or did you find a new career? We did. Between the five of us, we have approached working after baby from many angles. But they all have one thing in common: HARD. Listen as we talk about what we did when maternity leave ran out and the bills ran up.

Omg you guys. This week we tried to record an episode about how hard it is to survive after 7pm. How your patience hits the skids just as the kids go from hard to impossible. I mean, by 7pm mom has been on the clock for 12-13 hours, often longer. For years. Would you want your uber driver or doctor to be on her 14th hour of a 19 hour shift!?! Let’s face it: 7pm-9pm is the child abuse window. And we’ve all been there.

Our friend Laura Perlongo is pregnant with her second baby and her first son. Yay!  This week we try and help her figure out whether she should have him circumcised or not. And even though the answer seems obvious, whether or not to cut your baby’s foreskin turns out to be as confusing and controversial as whether or not you should cut bangs.  Aka: the answer is a simple

Yesnomaybewtf. Join us welcoming Laura to Nursing and Cursing!!!

Oh shit...we talkin potty training. Some of us planned it out perfectly and followed a strategy based on love and encouragement. Some of us just reached a breaking point with diapers and house broke our kids like puppies, and some of us called upon the power of Santa and a Christmas miracle to make it happen.  What can we say mamas, diapers happen!

Hey mom. This week we break down the difference between being a “good mom,” and a “bad mom,” and guess what: it’s the same shit show, just a different filter. Plus Chriddy gets a reputation as a stoner and Kate busts a sitter with a problem.
And yes, before you can ask: you’re a good mom. And we got you.

Mamas!!! You only live once!! You gotta grab life by the labias and say yes! Friends, concerts, parties, trips...GET IT!  But we are so tired. We don’t wanna YOLO, we wanna SOLO. Aka we want the house to ourselves, a sweet mystery on PBS  and no one’s company but our own. This week we discuss how we wanna spend our precious down time, and Molly cops to a crippling case of FOMO.  Listen in as we discuss how we gave up the game and got lame.

Moms, we missed you!!! Welcome to season 4! This week is all about Drop Off at day care and school. How can something so right feel so wrong? How many mornings of clinging and wailing are you supposed to deal with before you’re allowed to drink your pumpkin spice latte in peace?!! As usual, we have no clue. But we love you and we are so happy to be back on the mic.  This school year we are all about the bidet and the namaste. You read that right.

Season Finale ,Mamas!!!

Omg we have soooo much much baggage. And we ain’t talking about how even a commercial about restless leg syndrome can trigger an emotional breakdown and a pint of Ben n Jerry’s. No we are talking about actual literal baggage . Like the kind you have to pack when you go anywhere with kids. And the crippling anxiety about over / under packing. And trying to be organized. And trying to leave your house clean. And trying not to hate your partner when they grab a pair of shorts and a charger and say they’re ready to go. Going places this summer? Listen in as we agonize about packing and traveling with kids. DO NOT CALL IT A VACATION.
