Hit-and-run, mom vs. dad clean & is golfing too much a red flag?!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, someone hit our PARKED car and drove off… which quickly turned our neighborhood into a full-blown detective operation. Ring cameras were reviewed, theories were formed, and the neighborhood group chat is working overtime trying to figure out WHO hit the car. Before we get there, we talk about the emotional side of preparing for baby #2 — including the weird “grief” mom’s experience going from one kid to two — and when toddlers ACTUALLY understand there’s a baby in mom’s belly. We also debate whether you should FaceTime your toddler while traveling or if it actually makes things worse, plus the classic travel dilemma: wait out a flight delay or just start driving. Then we get into some cultural debates: are men welcome at pilates, and is “plays too much golf” actually a relationship red flag? We also recap Harrison’s birthday and share a quick house update, plus a pro tip we learned after the hit-and-run: experts recommend replacing your car seat after an accident (+ the important step of marking the old one as CRASHED before disposing of it so it doesn’t get reused).  We wrap with Bicker of the Week: mom clean vs. dad clean (very different standards), the first time someone is mean to your kid, whether reality TV makes people more dramatic, the weird way AI seems designed to flatter us… and the family bathroom debate continues. OH and Burger King called us back!!!  LOVE YOU GUYS. Thanks for listening!!!
