Kids Are Weird Podcast

Hey friends! So sorry to disappear on you all (again). Life is just crazy and as we always say, we're just out here doing our dang best. That being said, we have a new episode for you and it's alllll about picky eating! We now both have picky eaters, and it's quite the wild ride. Kids are WEIRD when it comes to food. Like, it makes no logical sense most of the time. Join us as we talk all things picky eating!

We're talking nakedness and modesty this week. Taking on weird questions like "is it a problem to change our kids in front of another child", or "when is the appropriate age to stop showering with our children?" To be honest, we both tend to follow our kid's lead when it comes to them wanting privacy, and for now, that works for us! As the great RuPaul says, "We're born naked, and the rest is...

***Due to a technical error, you might be seeing this episode for the second time! It was accidentally uploaded to the wrong date, and a lot of people had missed out on seeing it was new, so we wanted to re-publish it so more of our audience could hear it. Our apologies if you've already listened.***  It never seems to stop. The constant running to-do list in the back of your mind; the ongoing list of what the family needs; th...

With new moments that no parenting book could ever prepare you for, we're starting to ask ourselves the following question: "Is everything just secretly covered in pee?"  After some recent events, we're starting to think it just might be. From outdoor playgrounds to indoor playspaces, we, unfortunately, have fallen witness to a handful of situations where our flight, fight or freeze kicked in. Join us as we disc...

I think it's time we start to normalize only having one child. Especially, those of us who choose to have an only child. I grew up with the notion that only children are "weird" or "spoiled" but, now that I'm choosing to only have one child, I can tell you this is not always the case. Let's stop making families feel bad for only having one child. On the flip side, there are many people who do not ...

If you could listen in on a convo with a real-life parenting coach, would you do it? If yes, then this episode is for YOU! We were lucky enough to have the wonderful Albiona Rakipi back on with us to give all us parents out there some much needed tips/advice! I'm sure you all remember Albiona from our Mom guilt episode. She's a fellow Metro Detroit Mom, and parenting coach (and really, just a lovely human being) Chatting ...

Gone are the times when parents leave the house with just their phone or purse in tow. When leaving the house with kids, it seems like we bring everything but the kitchen sink! And when our little ones have a say in what they want to bring with them, things can get, well, interesting... 
For us, getting out of the house lately has felt like a neverending story of who forgot what and a constant learning experience of what we nee...

I feel like this episode doesn't really need much further explanation. We all kind of know that some good 'ol QT is sometimes exactly what the doctor ordered. Especially for kids. But also especially for marriages. I mean, really for any relationship that you care about. But it isn't always easy to find time for quality time. With life being so busy, it can be a real challenge to connect with our kids sometimes, let ...

It's all fun and games when you're trying to make a baby... until it's not. The journey to parenthood isn't always the smoothest of roads and honestly, we don't feel like it's talked about enough.  After months of doing the baby dance, making it through the dreaded "two-week-wait", just to be faced with a big ole "Not Pregnant" test result can lead to feeling a whole range of emotio...

We've talked about how kids clothing sizes are confusing af, but now we're going off about women's sizing. It makes no sense. Nothing about it. I can own several different pairs of things all in the exact same size, and they will all fit differently. And just because you're a size 6 in Old Navy jeans, does not mean you're a size 6 in Target jeans. One thing we are happy about when it comes to women's c...

It's been one of the hottest summers on record, and we've been doing everything we can to stay cool with the kiddos. That means we've been frequenting kid-filled, chaotic, water-wonderlands known as, "The Splash Pads". Maybe your area calls them "Spray-grounds" or "Spray Parks", but one thing's for sure,  when you're there, you have to stay on your toes! (and watch your toes......
