Summary
When Laura’s toddler transforms from a food lover to a picky eater, she wonders if maybe she should have seen this coming, and Shanna’s work-from-home routine is upended when she and her daughters all fall sick at the same time. In this week’s special segment, “Gripe Water,” strangers in playgrounds, baby poop, internet behemoths and alphabet rugs make Laura and Shanna ask themselves, “Are you f-ing kidding me???” Finally, the moms reveal their BFPs and BFNs for the week. Shanna’s toddler is 13 months and 4 weeks old, and Laura’s toddler is 13 months old.
