Parenthood: it's a wild ride of sleepless nights, missed milestones, joyous moments, and some serious self-discovery. In this episode of "Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads," our hosts, G-Rex and Dirty Skittles, are joined by guest Bizzle to candidly unpack the complex journey of parenthood.

### What's In This Episode

- **Travel vs. Fatherhood**: Bizzle opens up about the struggle of balancing his work travel schedule with being a present father, and how the pandemic brought an unexpected opportunity to spend more time at home.

- **The Joys of Parenthood**: Despite the challenges, there’s an undeniable joy in watching your child grow, imitate you (sometimes in hilarious ways), and develop their own interests, like music or attending LEGO conventions.

- **Getting Real About Parenting Challenges**: From coping with sleep deprivation to dealing with societal pressures on breastfeeding, Dirty Skittles and Bizzle get real about the struggles of parenting.

- **Parenthood & Relationships**: Our hosts and guest share how having a child impacted their relationships, bringing them closer as a family unit despite the inevitable frayed nerves and snappy moments.

- **A Safe Space for Parenting Struggles**: Listen as we create a safe space to talk about the less-discussed difficulties of parenthood, and the decisions around having children.

### Lessons Learned

- **Embrace Remote Work Benefits**: The recent shift to remote work can be a silver lining for parents wanting to participate more in their children's lives.

- **Support Is Key**: Never shy away from asking for support when you're feeling overwhelmed. Parenting is a team sport, whether it's with your partner or your community.

- **Every Parenting Journey Is Unique**: There's no one right way to parent. Whether you breastfeed or bottle-feed, or choose to have kids biologically, adopt, or even not have children at all, your decision is valid and should be respected.

- **Relationships Can Grow**: Having a child can be a transformative experience for your relationship, fostering growth and a stronger bond.

- **Self-Care Isn't Selfish**: Taking care of yourself and managing your own stress and health is as crucial as taking care of your child's needs.
