  • Love!

    I love this podcast! For one thing, I love the length of time of it, a working mom loves a short podcast episode. But the episodes give such good lessons and advice just by storytelling from the guests and Dylan.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Are Kids' Birthday Parties Out of Control?
Q: How do we handle presents? Or if an invitation says no presents, I mean, does that really mean no presents?
Doherty says gift requests can be tricky and suggests gift cards to local ice cream shops, pizza places, or toy stores when choosing a specific present is difficult.
Are Kids' Birthday Parties Out of Control?
Q: So how do you, with little time and a lot of kids, figure out the best way to make a birthday feel special?
Doherty recommends focusing on what excites the child rather than hosting a large party, such as bringing a piñata to the beach and celebrating with siblings and a few friends.
When Grandparents Help Raise Your Kids: How Do You Make It Work?
Q: How do you get grandparents to respect what you want?
Dreyer recommends setting ground rules and calmly explaining which household rules are important to follow, while acknowledging that relatives may do some things differently.
When Grandparents Help Raise Your Kids: How Do You Make It Work?
Q: Do you find it's harder to be in it every day? Do you wish you could just be the role of grandma as opposed to also being a caretaker?
Linda says she enjoys living with the family and finds it easier to anticipate and plan for daily routines, though she also wants time at home with her own family and friends.
Am I Ruining My Kids When I Yell?
Q: After I yell or after I just get so angry for whatever the situation is, am I ruining my children? Will they forgive me for it?
Dave explains that repair is important: acknowledge the conflict, apologize, describe what happened, and discuss what to work on together next time.
