Parenting: How It Started... How It's Going — 53

December 01, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 52.6 MB

The Martini Shot It's the last episode of I Shouldn't Have Had Kids and we're taking a minute to look back at how things started and how they're going now—with parenting, pandemicing, and podcasting! How it started and how it's going with kids: From baby blowouts to graduating seniors who remind us how incredible the journey of parenting really is. How it started and how it's going with the pandemic: From total lockdown to kids at home 24/7 trying to make remote learning palatable in any w...

Blended Holidays — 52

November 24, 2020 13:00 - 1 hour - 46 MB

Trying to make magic and create memorable holiday traditions—especially for a newly blended family—is a pretty tall order. It takes intention, patience, and a willingness by everyone to embrace the idea that families come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes, it also takes a lot of wine. This week we'll take you behind the scenes of our first Thanksgiving celebration as a new blended family — complete with exes, in-laws, and a raw turkey. The fun just keeps coming through the holidays and the...

Temper Tantrums: They're Not Just for Presidents — 51

November 16, 2020 04:00 - 56 minutes - 38.8 MB

This week's episode is inspired by a POTUS unwilling or unable to accept the facts. Indeed, you can probably currently find him prone on the floor of the Oval Office, pounding his feet and fists, screaming, "I won't go! I won't! I won't go, and you can't make me!!" If you've ever parented a 2- or 3-year-old, you know exactly what's happening. It's a temper tantrum, and they are the bane of every parent's experience. Full-body sweats, tears, pleading, and begging are the hallmark signs of a ...

Adulting — 50

November 10, 2020 06:00 - 1 hour - 49.8 MB

Millennials are so... special. Believe us. We have one. In the Millennial generation, everybody gets a ribbon and everything gets a sticker. They even have a word for growing up. It's called "adulting." In fact, there's a book and about a million articles all about the subject.   There's really nothing new about growing up or adulting, but there is certainly enough to talk about! Especially since we have one "adult-ish" son, another who is in full-fledge adulting mode, and a third boy on th...

Imagine That: Kids and their Imaginary Friends — 49

November 03, 2020 06:00 - 59 minutes - 41 MB

Imaginary friends and freaky role in the family Uh, honey? Who are you talking to? Cue Twilight Zone music as your son or daughter turns around slowly, looks at you, cocks their head and asks, "Can't you see him, mommy?" What does it mean when a child has an imaginary friend? One with whom they spend the bulk of their time. One that plays the role of confident, family member, and trouble maker all at once. "But Mommy, Wiggy doesn't WANT to nap, so I have to stay awake with him.." Is it a ...

Tales of Terror: Little Ghouls on Halloween

October 27, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 43 MB

A woman runs down a dark street screaming in terror.  She races up the steps to her best friend's house and pounds on the door. As the door creaks opens, the woman pulls out her (hot glue) gun and trains it on her friend. "Hot toddy. Stat!" she pants. "Oh, and I need to borrow some orange felt. I just ran out." The joy that many parents get in the planning, buying, cutting, and placating that goes into one night of tricks and treats has always been a head–scratcher to us. Halloween gives ...

Chores and Allowance: Working Hard for the Money

October 20, 2020 05:00 - 58 minutes - 40.4 MB

On episode 47: Chores and allowance are on our minds Is it a bad idea to pay kids to help around the house? A house they live, eat and sleep in? A house where their parents work, on their behalf, from sun up to sun down? This week, we unpack the ins and outs of rewarding kids for what is the simple act of "pitching in." In this episode, more than most,  we invite you to learn from our (massive) mistakes! Total case of "Do what we say, not what we do"! Now, if a son or daughter offers t...

All in the (Extended) Family – 46

October 13, 2020 05:00 - 1 hour - 44.9 MB

On episode 46: Grandparents steal the show! Oh, baking pies with grandma or building birdhouses with grandpa might sound like a quintessentially grandparental moment, but let's not forget the somewhat more interesting tidbits about the role of these important family members. For instance: Grandma glued to her police scanner to stay in-the-know about all of those "no-goods" out there. Her investigative bent taught the grandkids good research skills. Grandpa taking off his hollow, wooden le...

Mental Health: Winter Is Coming – 45

October 04, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 42.8 MB

This week we tackle the thing on everyone's mind: How can we protect the mental health of our children during the dark months of winter? Yes it's going to be H-A-R-D. But you are absolutely capable of weathering the storm that's brewing. We've collected sage advice from experts—because god knows that's not us—and are bringing that advice to you this week, couched in our own irreverent look at life with kids. One thing is crystal clear. Flight attendants know what they're talking about. Whe...

Exercise Your Authority – 44

September 29, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 43.1 MB

Exercise. They need it. We know it. But how to make it happen? Why does Minecraft win out over biking, Super Smash Bros beat a neighborhood run, or the promise of Among Us lure our kids back early from a summer swim? We know exercise is good for them, but what's the magical spoon full of sugar that will make the medicine go down?  Little kids exercise without thinking – chasing each other, splashing in the shallows all day, or sledding until they can't lift their legs to climb the hill ag...

Teenage Dating: The Rules of Engagement — 43

September 22, 2020 05:00 - 1 hour - 47.1 MB

One day they're in diapers; the next they're nervously picking up their first date, standing on the doorstep with sweaty palms because they're about to meet the parents. You, meanwhile, are sitting behind the wheel of the car trying not to stare. No, you're not stalking your child. You're actually the chauffeur because someone has to give these 13-year-olds a ride to the movies! You read that right. Dating at 13. It may be hard to believe but before you know it that sweet child of your loin...

Quarantine Quarrels — 42

September 15, 2020 06:00 - 57 minutes - 39.6 MB

Parenting in normal times is hard enough, but then you add in a little pandemic, a three-state inferno, political division the likes we've never seen, deadly policing, and for a little kick how about the start of a new school year with, yet again, distance learning and no one around to supervise. In the words of our current favorite meme: "At this point, if a clown invited me into the woods I would just go." Since that's not an option, couples are turning to an age-old response to stress. ...

What Do You Meme? – 41

September 08, 2020 06:00 - 1 hour - 49.8 MB

It all started with Baby Cha-Cha. That creepy little dancing baby was the first modern meme and made its splash on Ally McBeal waaaay back in 1998. Nope. We're not kidding. 1998. We could never have imagined how that little meme would jump from television to the internet and spawn today's teenage digital language. Let's be honest: teens can have an entire in-person conversation with each other by sharing memes back and forth and never uttering a single word. It's a fricken' mystery. On t...

Dating After Divorce – 40 (The Ruby Episode)

September 01, 2020 06:00 - 54 minutes - 37.7 MB

Knock, knock. Who’s there? Mommy’s new boyfriend. Mommy's new boyfr– wait. Whut??!!  It’s our 40th show—the Ruby episode—and we are celebrating with a topic hand-selected by one of our OG PodSquad listeners! How in the world do you introduce your children to a new love interest? Let’s get real. Dating after divorce is a bit of a minefield. And that’s on a good day. Throw in kids, however, and suddenly the landscape becomes shrouded in an I-don’t-know-what-the-hell-I’m-doing-mist.  When...

Love They [NextDoor] Neighbor – 39

August 25, 2020 06:00 - 1 hour - 44.4 MB

When the social media platform NextDoor came on the scene, it seemed perfect. It provided a place for people to connect locally, share neighborhood information, and look out for one another. You know, a total love-they-neighbor kind of opportunity. But that Nirvana was short-lived. The platform has slowly devolved into a bickering, mean-spirited place for people to shout at each other in all caps, compete for the snarkiest comment award, turn any and all conversations into a political rant....

Puppy Love and Puppy Loss – 38

August 18, 2020 06:00 - 1 hour - 50.7 MB

There is little a parent can do when it comes to teen love. You can't pick your child's crush because that would just be weird. And if you don't like said crush, well, you're out of luck on that one, too. No teen wants to hear a parent's criticism of their heart's true desire. About the only thing you can do when your teen has their first crush—or the next one or the next one or the one after that—is to be ready for the rare occasion when they ask your advice about how to handle love gone ...

Back to School? – 37

August 10, 2020 03:00 - 1 hour - 46.4 MB

Back to school hasn't changed much for decades. The styles have been updated, but the old standbys still mark the start of a new year: Dixon Ticonderoga #2 pencils A 3-ring binder Glue sticks A lunchbox 2 Masks A case of hand sanitizer Wait. Whut? This year's back-to-school shopping list looks a lot different for anyone going to school in person—and so does school itself. Whether your kids are online or in-person at the start of school, back to school 2020 is going to look like no...

You are a parenting ninja. You know it. Your friends know it. And, someday, your children will know it, too. So you're feeling a little cocky one day, throwing down wisdom you feel sure will shape your little darling into an amazing human being, when all of a sudden, BAM!! The tables turn. You become the student, and the 9-year-old standing in front of you, the receptacle into which you pour your knowledge and experience much as Yoda does with Master Luke, has become the teacher.

Soiling the Nest–35

July 28, 2020 06:00 - 1 hour - 43.9 MB

You spend nine months nesting, making your everything just right so that your beautiful newborn will know, from the very beginning, that home will always be the safe place. Then, 18 years later, that little chick you've been loving and coddling and providing for graduates and you burst with pride. Next stop: Leaving home. And then it happens. Your beautiful child morphs into a surly, argumentative and disrespectful pain in the ass. We call it soiling the nest.  If you're not familiar with ...

With so many kids stuck at home, every parent under the sun is looking for ways to keep them entertained. Hold our beer. We're talking games this week–from Minecraft to Ms. Pacman, Racing Demons to Poker–and everything in between. What keeps your kids entertained? Which games did you love growing up?

July 14, 2020 06:00 - 1 hour - 47 MB

It starts out so innocently. Your baby boy or girl joins a team of 5-year-olds running onto the soccer field and chasing down a ball for the sheer joy of it. Before you know it, however, you are shelling out bank for private lessons, equipment, fees, and an airline ticket to some ball field in Arizona, hoping that a big athletic scholarship is in your superstar's future. What in god's name has happened to kids' sports?! We share all the mistakes we've made encouraging our kids to chase ...

Don't Take No for an Answer – 32

July 07, 2020 06:00 - 1 hour - 53.5 MB

Kids hear "no" from the time they can reach out and rip an earring out of mommy's ear until the night they ask an adult to buy them alcohol for the senior prom. Who knew it was all training for the biggest "no" of them all? "No, honey, you can't have a social life during a pandemic." Ouch. It's time to be firm. Telling your kids "no" teaches them boundaries, respect, responsibility, and—these days—how to be a good citizen and help protect the lives of people they will never meet. Nobody e...

Riddle me this Batman: Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? The world has produced incredible kids' cartoons and live action shows over the years: Mr. Rogers, Avatar, Sesame Street, She-Ra, and the like. They are shows that inform, entertain, educate, break the mold, and make us think differently about the world. Caillou is not one of them.

June 23, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 41.5 MB

How can it be that children around the world—especially siblings—argue about the same things, over and over and over again? Do these familiar fight starters sound familiar?: "I call shot-gun!" "Heyyyyy. You ate the last cookie!" "You're looking at me. Why are you looking at me?!" "That's my sweater. Did you take my sweater from my closet? Mom!!!!" "Give me the remote.

"I promise I'll feed it and walk it and scoop poop—whatever you want me to do. Puh-leeeeeze, mom!?!" So begins the everyday saga of parents folding when a child begs for a pet. You know the rest of the story, don't you? That's right. The only people doing the feeding, walking and scooping are the parents. Pet peeves. It's a parental right-of-passage, whether said pet is a guinea pig, a snake, a cat, a dog, or—god forbid—a ferret. All species have fallen victim to the overpromising and und...

Goodnight Moon. Secret handshakes. Saturday morning waffles. Every family has traditions that help define its culture. Ours has been defined, in part, by an annual, multi-family camp-out in the San Juan Islands. TBH, the kayaking, crabbing, campfires, sing-a-longs and potlucks on an island floating in the Northwest waters of the Pacific Ocean is ridiculously idyllic—as long as the children aren't falling into the fire while roasting marshmallows, the driftwood forts aren't crashing in on t...

It's the parent who truly believes that her own child's s**t doesn't stink, even though everyone else in the room is like, "Ew! What's that smell?!" We call this condition Parentitis, an infection plaguing nearly all first-time parents.

Parenting is hard, sure, but mostly because kids sometimes do the dumbest things! This week, stories from grown-ass adults who did things when they were young that are at least as questionable as the stunts their own children pull. Give a listen and you'll be entertained with stories about playing "hide-and-seek" with a would-be molester, nearly starting the house on fire telling ghost stories, and pulling pretzels out the nose!

Sneaking out of the house is a rite of passage for lots of teens. And they'll tell you that it's as easy as 1-2-3. Step 1: Slip out of bed and use an extra blanket to create a "body" under the bed covers. Step 2: Army crawl out your bedroom door, down the hall and out the front door, steering clear of squeaky floorboards. Step 3: Quietly close the front door behind you. Then, run like hell.

As if raising kids wasn't stressful enough: let's layer on a pandemic while we're at it. Then  ask parents to work, teach, cook and discipline all at the same time. Oh, and don't forget the dog. The dog must have a walk. As the pandemic wears on, parents are beginning to implode like faulty explosives in an abandoned mine field. And you know who has to walk through that minefield? The kids.
