Welcome to Mom and Dad are Fighting, Slate's Parenting Podcast for Monday, April 11th, the ADHD Accom.

I'm Jamila Lemieux, a writer, contributor to Slate's care feeding parenting com and mom to Naima, who's nine, and we live in Los Angeles.

I'm Elizabeth Newkamp. I write the homeschool and family travel blog, Dutch Dutch goose. I'm the mom to three littles, Henry who's 10, Oliver, who's seven, and Teddy who's five.
