This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re diving into power dynamics in relationships (we call them power points - Jules thought we were talking about Microsoft LMAO), weaning from breastfeeding (T-4 weeks), and what it’s like parenting near family (spoiler alert: we’re sleeping!!) 

Before all that - Air Canada flight attendants were striking (yes, we’re still in Vancouver), and we’ve got some updated Canada recs for your next trip (don’t worry, no chains this time… maybe). Then get into the whole process of weaning from breastfeeding/pumping (and if it’s the final frontier to feel like yourself again postpartum). 

Plus: the age-old stain debate (are you a blotter or a rubber?), Skechers made a shoe with a secret AirTag pocket (actually kind of genius - but the internet is mad), a Ryanair flight meltdown over a crying baby, and the kids’ product that somehow reinvented the landline. Oh, and wait until you hear about the subscription service that had us in shock (mostly because like can we stop making a subscription for everything!!!?). 

LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
