This week, we talk about how we can hang on to our identities after we become parents. Plus, Kids Quotes (& Stacy quotes), how and when we decided to have kids, and we wonder if our kids will always call us by our first names. It's Episode Two of Parenting is Hard!

This week, we talk about how we can hang on to our identities after we become parents. Plus, Kids Quotes (&amp; Stacy quotes), how and when we decided to have kids, and we wonder if our kids will always call us by our first names. It's Episode Two of Parenting is Hard!

Hanging On To Your Non-Parent Identity (or "Who Am I!?!?!?")

We're Matt and Stacy Barnes and with two sets of twins four and under, we know all too well how hard parenting can be! 

Having never received the operating manuals for our kids (we figure the hospital must have lost them), we decided that a podcast would be a great place to share what we've learned and, more importantly, steal all of the great ideas we can get our hands on from our listeners. (Basically, we’re crowdsourcing parenting.)

So, jump on in for stories of going from zero to four kids in 17 months; working through infertility, IVF and surrogacy; juggling our careers with that of our kids’ (our son Wells played Baby Jack on “This Is Us”); figuring out how to get four kids to eat the same dinner; and so much more! 

(And then send us your suggestions about how to do all of that better.)

Join our podcast village and share the parenting journey, because, as we all know, parenting is hard!
