In this week's episode, we welcome Lucy and Tom Riles (who you might recognize from the Mom vs. Dad Show) for a conversation on what it looks like to lead a family when mom's a Fireball and dad's a Constellation. We asked Lucy and Tom to take our Parenting Perspectives quiz (What Type of Parent Are You in Public?) so we could pick their brains on long waits at the pediatrician's office, dining out with kids, and bringing a toaster oven to a five-star resort!

Lucy is a mom to four children and a wife to one husband. In addition to her role as "human creator," Lucy is also a content creator, writer, performer, and storyteller. In 2016, Lucy founded Life of Mom, an online community for moms worldwide with over 400,000 members. Tom Riles is the proud husband to Lucy, father to four (plus two dogs), and founder of the largest community of dads in the world, Life of Dad with over 4 million members. Tom and Lucy are also the co-authors of the forthcoming book Mom vs. Dad: The Not So Serious Guide to the Stuff We're All Fighting About [affiliate link].
