Mother Effer Heather and guest ME Father, Bobby, discuss the new movie Shazam with talking points for parents of kids in foster care. 

Shazam (2019) synopsis: We all have a superhero inside of us -- it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In 14-year-old Billy Batson's case, all he needs to do is shout out one word to transform into the adult superhero Shazam. Still a kid at heart, Shazam revels in the new version of himself by doing what any other teen would do -- have fun while testing out his newfound powers. But he'll need to master them quickly before the evil Dr. Thaddeus Sivana can get his hands on Shazam's magical abilities.

The MEs chat about the things they miss from the before motherhood era.

Patti has gone back to work (for now - she claims) and discusses with Heather the pros and cons of working. Along with trying to find the work/life/comedy balance, the MEs throw out tips on how to keep your head above water as a working parent. Additionally, they review Heather's chore chart for her kids as she believes kids need to learn good working skills while they are still young.
