Mom shaming, potty training & our TikTok drama

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — hi! If you’re here from TikTok, we’ll get into that in a bit… But first, we’re talking about why kids are being potty trained later these days (side note: can we stop calling 3-year-olds “36 months”??) and how our health habits have shifted now that we’re out of the newborn fog. In Things We DMed Each Other: a $30 million Bitcoin surprise, the most unhinged lies parents tell their kids, and a middle school teacher allegedly giving students alcohol (?!). Plus, a little brain break: we’re watching a lot more TV lately (read: we’re still drinking less )and we try not to give any spoilers (but I guess BEWARE).  We get into why the internet needs to chill on shaming moms— we’re all for constructive criticism, but enough with tearing women down / pitting women against eachother. And yes, I said vitamin C and meant D… nobody’s perfect. …Finally, hi again to the people from TikTok! We unpack the drama we’ve found ourselves in BUT I think I’m gonna make you watch to find out what we think about it.  Thanks for being here — WE LOVE YOU GUYS!
