Aging & Raging

Happy Halloween Mamas!!

Gather round if you dare. This episode features some of our most hair raising moments as mothers. Snakes ! Rats! Pumpkin spice candles! We’ve got it all.... if you’re brave enough to take a listen. Muahahahaha (evil laugh).

Do you have an anxious kid? A nail biter, a bed wetter, a kid who can’t sleep, who struggles with a change to her surroundings or schedule ? How do you cope and what do you do? This week we talk about how much we worry about our kids worries and how much their anxiety stresses us out. As usual we have more questions than answers. And chrissy shares the most magical fail we have ever heard.

Gasping for Hair.

This week’s eps is all about your kid’s hair. Was your baby born with a full head of hair? Bald? Did she grow a toddler mullet?! Does she have the same hair as you? Has she ever cut it herself? Have you?? Does she let you wash or style it? And dude, WHAT .ABOUT. LICE!?! Listen in and help us out. Kate hasn’t brushed mavis’s hair since 2017 and there might be something nesting in it 😬

When it comes to raising kids, what’s your favorite age? A snoozy (or screaming?!) newborn? A sleep-trained and smiley

9-month old? Elementary school? Or for those of us at this shit too long, is it tweens or teens?! Or will you be like us, blaming this mess on a “difficult phase” til 2030 and just waiting on the promise of a favorite stage round the next bend 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ This week we weigh up the best and worst of every age. And if the toddler stage is your fave, go ahead and unsubscribe and get yourself some loving professional help. 🥴👍🏻

Hey mamas. How do you feel watching your kids struggle to overcome challenges? How do you know if they’re just frustrated or if they’re truly scared? Should you intervene and help them, or encourage from the sidelines while they work it out? You can’t learn how to ride a bike without falling off a couple times, right? But then what if you break a leg and never get back on😬🤷🏻‍♀️

This week we talk about how confusing it can be to know when to step in and when to step down. Good news is, we have gotten wrong a bunch of times and the kids are *basically* ok. And fails that go on so long Molly is gonna cancel us.

Hey momarades! This week we are talking about School Picture Day. Do you plan your kid’s lewk and order 72 wallet sizes for everyone you know? Do you let your kid style herself and cherish the authentic moment she is capturing? Or did you fucking forget it’s picture day again and send your kid to school in the shirt she wore yesterday, hair that was washed a week ago and then mean to order prints but totally forget 🙋🏼‍♀️ whatever your picture day style, we got you covered. And so many fails, we need a spin off 🤦‍♀️

Moms, it’s finally 5pm. It’s been a long day, you’ve worked hard. Lets unwind and head to the Witching Hour shall we!? Oh, what’s the the witching hour? Well it’s *just like * happy hour except that instead of beer and LOLs with your friends, it’s inconsolable crying with your baby, mind numbing exhaustion, uncooked food and no end in sight! Yes, this week we dig in to the darkest time of day:the witching hour, which affects children ages 0-12yrs from the hours of 4~12am for roughly 10 months a year. NBD!

Welcome back mamas!! We missed you! We hope that you all had wonderful summers. And if you spent 768 hours preparing to take your kids to the beach only to have them bug you for a snack / a shit /a nap /the iPad as soon as you lathered the reef-safe sunscreen on, WE.FEEL.YOU.

This week we ask : are we turning into our parents. GULP. Are we making the same mistakes they did, or making our own brand new mistakes? Both?! What will our kids say about our parenting? Yikes.

And as ever, some unforgettable fails. And nails. But duh mostly fails. Welcome to season FIVE!!

Me gazing at a photo:

Can you believe that was only 2 years ago?!? It feels like a life time ago! She was so young!!! And so cute! She’s grown so much, she’s so much bigger now! I miss that phase!

My husband:

Oh you lookin at pics of the kids ?

Me:

Nope. Pics OF MYSELF BEFORE I BEGAN TO SPEED AGE!!!!

Seriously WTF. This week we celebrate turning 100 episodes, by discussing how we were just going along aging totally normally, and all of a sudden we are sleep -deprived ancient hags with sagging boobs, hollow eyes, and that’s on a good day. Please don’t tag Roldan + Fields.

Thanks for the best season ever mamas! we will miss you this summer! See you in the Fall ❤️❤️❤️
