Ep 10: Water Polo Parenting Fail, Scholarship Dreams & FedEx Rage

Welcome back to **Hold My Baby**, the parenting podcast where we love our kids… and also want them to be *slightly impressive* someday. Not even famous. Just… employable. Athletic. Motivated. Alive. In this episode, Erik signs his 13-year-old up for **water polo** (because scholarships don’t grow on trees), only for it to become his son’s **first and last class**. We get into the eternal parenting battle: Do you push your kid to stick with something… or do you let them quit immediately and raise a future adult who “doesn’t like hard things”? Then we spiral into: * Parenting teamwork (and when your spouse sabotages your discipline plan) * How kids have zero spark now (sorry, but it’s true) * Why hobbies like golf and running are basically rich-people time travel * Home Depot vs IKEA parenting budgets * FedEx customer service rage and “Is there anything else I can help you with?” Be a friend. Tell a friend. And please… stop letting kids quit after ONE practice.--- #holdmybaby #parentingpodcasts #funnyparents #millennialparents #parentinghumor #kidssports #comedypodcast #raisingteens --- If this episode made you laugh, rage, or immediately sign your kid up for a sport out of guilt: 👍 Like the episode 💬 Comment: are you a “push them to stick with it” parent or a “quit if you hate it” parent? 🔔 Subscribe so you don’t miss the next parenting breakdown 📤 Share this with a parent who’s one FedEx email away from snapping Be a friend.
