This week we're answering your parenting and mom-life questions, and it's clear Libby is a '90s mom while Liz is our resident "wannabe crunchy" mom. We compare our different parenting styles as we tackle some of your questions.

We chat about when kids are ready to play outside without parents, why we think too much time indoors and online can sometimes be more harmful than free play outside, and the age we would let a 6-year-old use a public bathroom alone (which naturally leads to a conversation about moms, dads, and taking opposite-gender kids into public restrooms).

We also answer whether it's normal to argue more before family vacations (spoiler: yes!), why the mental load is at an all-time high before a trip, whether we're spending every weekend out or trying to save money, when we transitioned our toddlers into big-kid beds, and our kids' current favorite toys. We wrap things up by talking about Nintendo Switch, screen time, and Liz's experience introducing gaming to her son.
