This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, you get Two Parents for about 10 minutes… and then Jules takes over for Harrison. So for everyone who’s been asking in the comments for more Jules: this one’s for you (hi, mom). (ps. I still will not be going on camera. Don’t push it guys lol -Jules)
Before the handoff, we cover a LOT. Pregnancy sickness recovery being wildly unfair, whether we’re accidentally becoming sourdough people (apparently like Taylor Swift?!), and what it’s like doing Expo West with a toddler in tow. We share a Bubber buckle fracture update, a hard parenting rule we learned the hard way (never skip snack time), and get into glucose intolerance… plus the surprising internet consensus that sourdough might actually help??
From there, we talk neighborhood social committees, joining a junior professionals board, and then we officially made it past all the things we had planned to talk about that I could do without Harrison - cue Jules stepping in (being thrust in…). OK we covered - secret “single behaviors” we all do, whether bricking your phone ACTUALLY works, Millennials vs. Gen Z (Jules does, in fact, call Alex cheugy), and the importance of the group text.
We also discover you can apparently petition to bring back discontinued flight paths (??), play a round of Two Truths & a Lie (two truths… Jules can’t lie), and have a very real moment about how fast kids grow up.
Things We DMed takes a turn with a headline that stopped us in our tracks: a baby born from a womb transplant from a deceased donor — and the bigger ethical conversation that followed. Then it’s Bicker of the Week (expiration dates: law or loose suggestion?), a practical baby #2 conversation about needing a bigger car, why the naughty corner doesn’t actually work the way we think it does. We wrap with a quick note that we are hiring (kind of) — but if you DM us, you’re automatically disqualified.
LOVE YOU GUYS. Thanks for listening!!!
