The start of summer means more kids everywhere. If your kids aren’t in school yet you have no sympathy. We understand. But ours are home and we love them very much and miss quiet things and alone time. Two things can be true. This episode we talk about acceptable risks, overprotecting, sticker books, a dog dressed as a butterfly, and projects and assignments neither Tori nor Gwenna have done.

This week on Childproof’s Parasocial Parenting we’re talking about uniforms for motherhood (Spoiler: There isn’t one.), Gwenna’s pathological demand avoidance about a webtoon, Mom RBF, realistic expectations of becoming an adult, planning for the near future and letting forever take care of itself.

Childproof is changing for the better because it will now include more of all of you! We have always loved hearing from all of you and reading your emails. We want to hear from you more now than ever. It's not like every episode is going to be an email roundup, it's more like an extension of the virtual village and we are so excited to share more than our own thoughts.

Yet another episode sponsored in part by MacMillan Audio because they produced Gwenna’s latest book, Thinky Thoughts All Grown Up & Still Just as Confused. You can listen to the full version come April 14th but for now, please enjoy just one more essay. This one is road rage and involves bricks, land boats, cloud-haired women in sensible shoes, and the root of a good chunk of Gwenna’s car-based anxiety.

This episode of Childproof is sponsored in part by MacMillan Audio. Gwenna’s new book Thinky Thoughts hits shelves April 14th and MacMillan Audio produced her audiobook. Gwenna will read her own book to you. And you get a sample here on Childproof. Enjoy this complete essay Creamed Corn from Thinky Thoughts: All Grown Up & Still Just as Confused. Is creamed corn a thinly veiled reference to grown up times? No, it’s a blatant reference to that time Gwenna though she could make creamed corn with cream of celery soup.

It’s time for another round of enjoying our mutual parasocial relationships with our listeners! We’ve asked you questions. You’ve answered them. We’re reading some of them. And then using your answers to explore tangents that may or may not have anything to do with anything.  At the end of every episode we invite you to email us with questions, suggestions, or things we should know. We shamelessly turn that into episodes. Want to be a part. Email us. We might shamelessly turn it into an episode.

After a pause. And a break. And a distinct lack of explaining ourselves. And another break. We’re back. This time with an explanation of exactly what happened. The winds of change are blowing and we’re excited to see where they take us all!

On this episode of Childproof Gwenna and Tori discuss things. Okay, full disclosure for the seventeen people that read notes and descriptions, we recorded this and then Oklahoma and Kentucky both exploded with influenza. Everyone was sick. Stuff got paused while we all healed. It was rough. No one had any fun. Show notes didn’t get written and by the time they got back to it Gwenna, who writes the descriptions forgot what we talked about and Tori, who edits the episodes cannot be trusted to write descriptions. So now you know this is a podcast hosted and run by two people who have no idea what they are doing and should be better at this by now.

Tori only thought they were losing it. Their snow continues and we decided to scour the internet for what they are saying about parents in the media. Did you know Warren Buffett was a gentle parent? Who knew? And then we spend most of the rest of the episode being very millennial and complaining about a Buzzfeed article. It’s not so much complaining as pointing out how it’s wrong a bunch. So like I said, being very millennial about it.
