Hello and welcome to Mom and Dad are Fighting, Slate's parenting podcast for Thursday, May 29th, the Extreme Bedtime Edition.

I'm Alison Benedict, an editor at Slate, and the mom of Harry 7, Sam 5, and Wally 3.

I'm Dan Cois. I'm also an editor at Slate. I'm the dad of Harper who is eight and Lyra who is 11.

Hey, Dan.

Hello.

On today's show, we will talk to Slate columnist Melinda Wenner-Moyer about absurdly early bedtimes for kids.

Then Dan will propose a new summer tradition, and we will discuss and force it upon all of you.

Also, parenting triumphs and fails, a listener call about a tough child care decision and

recommendations.

And for our Sleep Plus segment, I'm excited about this, a double X gab fest host,

Invisibilia host, and friend of the show, Hannah Rosen, will share a special bar mitzvah-themed parenting triumph or fail.

Very exciting.
