The pressure to get married & have children can be incredibly intense for women in their 20s and 30s. Many have heard the pressure from friends, family, and co-workers with the question, “When are you going to settle down and get married?” followed by, "When are you going to have kids?" and then, "When are you going to have another child?" With Mike out for this episode, Elise spends time with Hannah to discuss the pressures felt by women today, and how people need to realize it is perfectly OK for others to take these serious decisions at their own pace.

In this lively & entertaining episode, Mike & Elise battle it out on who should be the one getting the “permanent birth control” procedure done. Does the father get a vasectomy, or does the mother get a tubal ligation? Elise feels that after a mother goes through the process of carrying and birthing the kids, men should definitely be willing to go through with a vasectomy. Mike, on the other hand, has his own opinions. After getting a botched vasectomy last week, one can only guess how he is feeling!

Parents are faced with the task of deciphering their kids on a daily basis, which can be quite complicated. When it comes to kids being unmotivated to perform at the levels parents desire, the easiest way to understand what’s going on is to label it as “underachieving”. What happens if it's more complicated than that? Mike and Elise discuss whether this ‘lack of motivation’ is actually something more than lack of motivation.
