Description

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — it’s the FIRST EPISODE OF 2026!! (Happy New Year!!!) And we’re kicking things off with a little Q&A (answering all of YOUR questions!!). We’re talking through what we’ll do differently with baby #2 (and what we’re keeping the same), how we think about screen time for Tate (& baby #2) AND ourselves, and how we navigate parenting style differences with friends as we build our village. We also get into preparing Tate for baby boy, whether sibling jealousy is inevitable, and how we’re balancing friendships with people who don’t have kids — without making it weird. Plus, we share the one thing that made parenting noticeably easier this year that no one really talks about, and our #1 goal for 2026 as we go from a family of three to four. And if you’ve already been through the toddler-to-newborn transition… please DM us your best advice. We’re collecting it all :) Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:01:49 Q&A: Do you rotate who gets up with Tate in the morning and who does bedtime routine? 00:08:07 Q&A: Things you’ll do differently with baby #2? 00:13:27 Q&A: Things you won’t change with baby #2? 00:17:33 Q&A: Starting to get nervous with giving birth - best advice? 00:22:36 Q&A: Opinions on screen time? 00:25:58 Q&A: How do you handle parenting and disciplining differences among friends with kids? 00:31:32 Q&A: How do you think Tate will react once baby boy comes?
