For The Parents

There are many ways in which to help your children understand their feelings and their emotions. Join us as we explain how we are muddling through and our logic behind our methods, imperfect as they may be. Whichever way you tackle this part of their development, we feel that feelings and emotions are crucially important to navigating the world. Sam continues to misnumber episodes, but we hope that one day she will get it right. 

This eppy starts out a little rough. We are sorry for the audio mixup. At least it is nice lounge music to get you ready for a super taboo topic. Parental Rage. It. Is. So. Common. Many parents feel it and keep it locked up in a closet of shame. There is no shame. Parenting is so taxing on every aspect of yourself. While there are lovely magical moments, there are also mental hurtles, emotional hurtles, and physical hurtles. It is spelled wrong for the right reasons. Strap in and get ready to feel less shame about parental rage. 

How important is it to be on the same page in front of your children? Is challenging your partner another opportunity for growth and learning? Or does it teach your children how to get around one parent by going to the other one? 

Parenting is hard, guys. So hard. This episode includes some heartbreak and a parental disagreement regarding the rough ending of our day. It was meant to be something completely different, as you shall hear when you start to listen. Sam's mommy brain also says this is the 4th episode, for the 3rd time in a row. 

Yep, you might have guessed it. Our lovely routine we were just mentioning has come to a screeching halt. Gone are the days where we knew what was going on, when it was going on. Join us as we talk through the absolute chaos that rules our house at this very moment. 

In this episode we talk about how we have continuously readjusted to the various and never ending fluctuations that parenting brings, both as parents and as a couple. We have to do our best to roll with the punches and come out of the other side better for it.

How did having children affect who we are? In this episode we talk about who we were before we had children, our likes and hobbies, and we got into detail about the transformation that occurred for us after we became parents. Is it a question of re-finding ourselves, or are we completely new people?

We discuss our reactions to the Covid vaccine and how it impacted both our parenting unit and our children as well as our thoughts about raising one child versus two children, with both of them being under 3 years old. We talk candidly and honestly about our emotions.
