If you don't speak the language that your kid is speaking at school, then you can't be more

involved. What fresh hell. Laughing in the face of motherhood. And look like J. Loe, even though we're

55 with Margaret Ables and Amy Wilson. Yes, you're not showing them how to do it the right way at all.

A podcast that solves today's parenting dilemmas. So you don't have to. We.S. You're not showing them how to do it the right way at all. A podcast that solves today's

parenting dilemmas so you don't have to. We didn't ever want to see pictures of them shopping.

They were just up on the silver screen being glamorous. Hey, everybody, welcome to what fresh hell

laughing in the face of motherhood. This is Amy. And this is Margaret. And today we're talking about

and asking the question, how involved should we be with our kids' school? Oh my gosh. This is one of

those topics. I look forward to getting into it with you, but I feel like this is one of those

you can't win things. If you're not involved enough, they don't like you. If you're too involved,

they really don't like you. And then there's a third

thing once your kids get older, which is how involved should you be with your kids while they're

at school, which is obviously very little, but you mean when they're at college? No, I mean sending,

you know, my high school kid a quick text during the middle of the day to be like, hey, just letting you know the dentist thing got pushed back 10 minutes. But you're interrupting them during math class. But they're not supposed to be looking at their phone. It's supposed to be in their locker. And yet they have it. And then it. Oh, if that's against the rules, don't tell me. Because I do that all the time. Just did it. Kid forgot lacrosse stuff. Okay, you forgot you've got, which I always call it rehearsal after school. It's practice, practice. I have to get that word in my mind. I'm always like, you have a lacrosse rehearsal after school because I'm such a theater kid at heart. But, Amy, before we dive in, let's hit the mailbag. Oh yes, wait a minute, time for mailbag. Wait, wait,

yeah, yeah, check the mailbag. This one, it's not really a mailbag. It's a vertical mailbag, a

horizontal mailbag. It's a review mailbag, to be honest. It's an indirect message to us,

but we loved it. It's an indirect message. No one was trying to contact us, and yet here we are.

We have been asking, begging, bugging you all to leave us some reviews wherever you

listen to the podcast.

And one of our listeners really came through on Apple Podcasts saying, title got me through

a lot.

Amy, number of stars. would you like to guess?
