A lighter episode topics after a few heavier episodes. Every trip to Disney comes with crazy stories to tell and our latest trip was no exception. Laugh and maybe cry along with us as Ashley retells all about the shenanigans she faced going to Disney without Josh. Stay Sane Out There. www.kidsareweirdpodcast.com

We've talked a lot about maternal mental health on this podcast. But for the first time ever, we're talking about paternal mental health. A topic that is vastly overlooked. Join us for Josh's first time taking the lead as we have an open and honest conversation about Father's and their mental health.  Stay Sane Out There. www.kidsareweirdpodcast.com

A heavier episode topic for us this week, but unfortunately something we just went through. In this week's episode we tackle (IMO) the hardest part of parenting- parenting through really tragic & traumatic shit.  Stay Sane Out There. www.kidsareweirdpodcast.com

For those of you who had sick kids this Christmas, we salute you.  Stay Sane Out There. www.kidsareweirdpodcast.com

Hello friends!!! We are BACK, baby!!!! We definitely owe you an explanation on why we disappeared for the last 8 months, so we're here to provide you with one. It's also time for you to meet our new co-host, Josh! Thank you for sticking with us throughout 2023. Here's hoping 2024 brings no unexpected hiatuses.   Stay Sane Out There. www.kidsareweirdpodcast.com

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! Stay Sane Out There. www.kidsareweirdpodcast.com

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 drag".

Have you missed us? We know we left ya'll hanging and gave no explanation or warning and then just fell off the face of the planet for the last few months but! I promise we had good (or not so good) reasons as to why. So, please, let us explain. We've missed you.  Stay Sane Out There. www.kidsareweirdpodcast.com

***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; the thankless hours researching what needs to be done, and exactly when it needs to be done.  It's all the behind-the-scenes work that makes the day run as seamlessly as possible. If you feel like there's always something, trust us when we say you are not alone. The mental load of motherhood is real, it's heavy, and for the sake of normalizing it, we're here to talk about it.  Stay Sane Out There. www.kidsareweirdpodcast.com

Weddings are A LOT. They bring out the best in some of us, and the worst in others. People can get very weird about weddings, which makes sense. It's only like the biggest day of your life right? Listen to us chat about all the weirdness that came with not only our own weddings, but weddings we've both had the "pleasure" of being a part of.  Stay Sane Out There. www.kidsareweirdpodcast.com

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 discuss them and exactly how we dealt with these situations. Stay Sane Out There. www.kidsareweirdpodcast.com

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 choose to only have one child. Whatever the reason, don't shame people for that. Also, stop telling people to "just have another kid" so their child has someone to play with. Just, stop. And, don't miss this episode! Stay Sane Out There. www.kidsareweirdpodcast.com
