Two Parents & A Podcast
Alcohol in our relationship, maternity leave scandal & we bought a car
Thu, 22 May 2025
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we bought a car (!!), Harrison is trying his hand at DIY (or at least I thought he was??), and we’re diving into how becoming parents has shifted our relationship with alcohol. From who gets up with Tate after a night of drinks, to what we did when one of us wanted to cut back, to whether we ACTUALLY pump and dump — we’re answering all your questions and sharing what’s worked (in the past 7 days that we’ve cut out alcohol lol). Plus — the Nestlé scandal somehow gets worse (they allegedly lobbied against longer maternity leave???), a new Flock collab (!!), and how Disney weirdly helped us manage our time when we were kids (wth are the Netflix era kids gonna do??). Oh, and Harrison still thinks im not lactose intolerant… LOVE YOU GUYS! Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:03:12 I bought a car! 00:12:27 Work update: New Flock collab!! 00:16:16 House update: Harrison’s DIYing??? (kinda) 00:25:20 How parenthood changed our relationship with alcohol 00:29:00 Q&A: How did Alex get Harrison on the same vibe regarding cutting back on alcohol? 00:33:35 Q&A: How do you think alcohol affects your relationship with each other? 00:35:35 Q&A: How do you decide who gets up with Tate at night/morning if you’ve both had some beverages that night? 00:38:48 Q&A: I think alcohol for every event has become so normal in our culture. What do you think are reasonable boundaries around alcohol consumption? Especially as parents 00:42:14 Q&A: How do you and Harrison maintain a social life / drinking and being parents? Did that affect any of your friendships? 00:44:49 Q&A: How do you navigate if one parent is the drinking type and the other is fairly sober? When is it fair to ask your partner that you’d like to have a few drinks instead of always being the “default” parent and how to communicate that? 00:48:20 Q&A: Im exclusively pumping and wondering how you navigated pumping and drinking. Do you pump and dump? Wait a couple hours?
