Description

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re diving into YOUR controversial parenting choices. From spanking to screen time to vaccine curiosity, we break down what we’ve heard from y’all, what we’ve done, and why there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting. Before that, we’re catching up on house updates (hello wood floors!!!), debating whether vacationing with a baby ACTUALLY counts as a vacation, and sharing this week’s bicker of the week (new segment alert): do you swerve for potholes or not?? In Things We DMed Each Other, we’re talking Facebook targeted ads (they’re listening), airline seat theories (s/o seat 11A), and then diving into listener-submitted parenting choices that get everyone talking: no sugar until age 2.5, co-sleeping, no sleepovers, sleep training, vaccines and more. WE LOVE YOU GUYS!
