Imagine moving six times in one year… now add three kids under four to the mix. That’s real life for Danielle and Tomás Nido, catcher for the Detroit Tigers, former Mets player, and most recently part of the Chicago Cubs organization. In this episode of The Un-a-Parent Podcast, our host Katia Reguero Lindor sits down with the Nidos, dear friends and true parenting superheroes.
They talk about what it’s like to raise a family while constantly relocating, how they stay grounded through chaos, and the teamwork it takes to make it all work. Danielle shares her secrets for staying calm and centered, Tomás brings his signature steadiness, and together they reflect on what keeps their family strong on and off the field.
Meanwhile, Katia jokes that she’s one toddler tantrum away from hiding in the bathroom. (We’ve all been there. )
This is MLB parenting life—unfiltered, emotional, and full of love. A tribute to the mom friends, MLB wives, and parents on the move who remind us we’re not doing this alone, and that every meltdown, diaper blowout, and unexpected trade is a little easier when we have the right people around us.
