We start out the episode with a story about Moms' quest for an appropriate insult. Then we talk about how to handle mental health days with the kids. And we finish up discussing what responsibility influencers have to take a stance on current events.

The Family Skeptical: We're a married atheist couple raising two wonderful, strange children. We ask big questions, dissect weird parenting moments, and examine how society ignores or misrepresents families like ours. If you're any stripe of non-believer who's involved in raising children, welcome! You are our people.

Our kids are Reader (12) and Jaeger (9), and if you want to find out how we arrived at these peculiar pseudonyms, go back to Episode 1 and 61.
