Daycare is a neutral, normal, unquestionable part of modern parenting. And Hannah is not having it.

This is NOT an anti-working-parent rant. This is NOT shame for families doing what they need to do. This is a conversation about how Justin's experiences with daycare were (mostly) great, and how Hannah didn't go to daycare and still feels a hard no in her entire body when it comes to sending our kids. And how "licensed and regulated" doesn't always mean safe.

If you don't already have some fears or hesitations about sending your kids to daycare (and don't want to develop any) then this episode probably isn't for you.

In this episode we talk about what actually changes when you have a second child and if it's truly easier to go from one to two than it was from zero to one.

Toddler tantrums aren't bad behavior, they'e undeveloped brains having a really hard time.

In this episode we're talking about toddler meltdowns in a way that's honest, realistic, and actually helpful. No shame. No "perfect parent" bullshit. Just real strategies for real families.

If you're starting the year exhausted and wondering if you're doing this wrong, this episode will help you reframe tantrums and feel more confident responding to them.

Somewhere along the way, parenting culture decided there’s a deadline for ruining Santa.

That by a certain age you have to sit your kid down, clear your throat, and announce that magic is fake, joy is temporary, and capitalism won. Or worse—some parents skip the whole thing entirely because they don’t want to “lie” to their kids.

Yeah. This episode is not for those parents.

In this episode of Holy Shit, We’re Parents, we talk about:

• ​ Why kids are fully capable of figuring out Santa on their own
• ​ Why forcing “the truth” is often more about adult discomfort than kids’ needs
• ​ The difference between imagination, play, and deception
• ​ And why letting your kids experience wonder for as long as possible isn’t harmful—it’s human

If you’re a “we never did Santa and never will” parent, or a “by age 7 they need to know” parent, you’re probably not going to love this episode.

But if you believe childhood magic doesn’t need a deadline, this one’s for you.

This episode is all about the nostalgia of our Christmas morning childhoods and what we’re going to do to try to set ourselves up for success with our kids. Think more tips than actual plans. See you next week for our last Christmas-themed episode!

You do not need a North Pole-sized bank account to give your kids a magical holiday — and in this episode, we’re proving it.

We’re talking the traditions that matter, the moments your kids will actually remember, and all the cozy, meaningful magic you can create without maxing out a single credit card.

From low-cost activities to memory-making rituals, managing expectations, and ditching the comparison trap, this is your permission slip to slow down, simplify, and still give your kids the most magical season ever.

Perfect for parents who want to do the holidays with more heart and less pressure. Grab a mug of something warm and come hang with us. 🎄💛

In this episode we're talking about the thing every parent desperately needs, but not all of us have - the village. And we talk about how to create one! Because let's be honest, modern parenthood is basically two overtired adults trying to do the work of eight people.

If you've ever felt like you're parenting on an island with a partner who also lives on an island but not your island, that's because Western culture tricked you into it. Let's talk about how to move back into your village :)

Look - some parents are born knowing how to turn a cardboard box into a spaceship. And some of us don't really remember what it's like to be a kid to begin with.

In this episode of Holy Sh*t We're Parents, we dive into the awkward, confusing, slightly humiliating world of trying to play with your kids when you genuinely have no idea how. We talk about why it feels so damn hard, how to stop overthinking it, what kids actually want from us (spoiler alert: it's not Oscar-worthy fake accents), and the simple ways to show up without feeling like the world's worst playmate.

If you've ever hidden behind your phone during playtime, panicked when your kid handed you a toy, or thought "I cannot pretend to be a dragon for one more second," this episode is for you.

Trying to conceive is supposed to be "fun," right? Yeah not always.

In this episode we get real about our journey to parenthood. The months of trying, the two miscarriages that shattered us, and the two inductions that felt like being thrown into the deep end of the medical system with floaties made of lies.

Hannah opens up (and cries... like actual tears) about what those experiences were like physically and emotionally, while Justin jumps in with the partner side of the story: the helplessness, the heartbreak, and the chaotic humor that kept us going.

We also talk about how a doula could've changed everything, from support during miscarriage, to navigating interventions, to helping us advocate during both inductions. Basically all the things we wish we'd known before we were in too deep.

This one is raw, vulnerable, a little funny in a "laugh to survive" kind of way, and deeply human. If you've ever been through TTC, loss, birth, or anything that didn't go "as planned," this episode is for you.

*CORRECTION: I (Hannah) mention being pregnant 4 times in 2 years. I misspoke and it was 3 years. My bad*

In this episode we’re talking about how involved grandparents can be the biggest blessing and how we’re so lucky to be in this situation.
