Teaching toddlers to share, Mother’s/Father’s day gifts & is the dad bod REAL?!

from Two Parents & A Podcast · host Alex & Harrison Fugman

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we are deep in the weeds of toddler social skills, specifically: how to actually teach a toddler to share and the power of modeling behavior for toddlers because… they are watching (and copying) EVERYTHING. Then we recap Mother's Day (the four of us at the coffee shop, my protein pancakes at The Well, and then our chaotic visit to a new store in Austin (s/o to Tiffany the most patient employee in the store, we love you). Plus, Harrison's Father's Day request (NO gifts (how many times has he said this on the pod until Alex listens lol)) and a little 2 under 2 update because Tate is more and more OBSESSED with Rocky everyday and we genuinely did not expect this 🥹 Plus, is the "dad bod" actually science?! (Apparently prolactin levels go UP in dads but Harrison is calling BS) and Harrison going VIRAL on Twitter for being a "basic Austin man" (baseball hat, scruff, plaid button-down) hahhaha  And the fun stuff: our weekly (?) Waymo segment (sorry we can't help it), is it actually rude to customize your coffee order, what's the deal with DOGS in strollers, is the Hantavirus about to be lockdown 2.0, do we care if comedians don't write their own jokes, why Survivor is officially THE best couples show, and a home renovation hack we genuinely needed to share because the savings are JAW DROPPING (skip the GC!).
