Summary

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast – HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE! We kick things off with gift giving convo (because DUH), including the internet weighing in with their opinions on our neighbor gifts and the ONE toddler toy that has truly earned its spot (because ever notice that toddlers seem to prefer household items over toys???). Next, we get into holiday travel with a 1-year-old (new airplane-only toys, long flights, and managing expectations). We also share how we’re spending the next two weeks (RELAXING) before diving into the viral discourse of the week around “borrowing husbands” and the Kroger wife situation (and why helping people in your community should not be controversial). Harrison brings in 1,000 years of relationship advice from the Curiosity Chronicle (do not keep score, never stop dating, and genuinely enjoy each other). Then the fun stuff. We spiral briefly into dental TikTok with a question about blowing on your kid’s food, share a great Austin policy about waived parking tickets for responsible rides home, and talk about when kids develop critical thinking and why Santa works so well (your words become their inner voice). We wrap with a holiday classic debate about whether gifts from Santa should be wrapped (apparently every household does this differently??) and finish with a conversation everyone can agree on: New Year’s is the most overrated holiday. LOVE YOU GUYS and happy holidays. 💛 Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:01:12 Gift giving (love languages, internet opinions on our neighbor gifts, & our top toddler gift) 00:06:24 Why do toddlers prefer household items over toys?! 00:10:25 Traveling for the holidays with a 1-year-old 00:14:25 Is it okay to use your partner’s Netflix profile? 00:16:00 How we’re spending the next two weeks 00:24:40 “Can I borrow your husband?” & the Kroger wife discourse 00:31:37 1,000 years of relationship advice from the Curiosity Chronicle 00:43:05 Can blowing on your kid’s food cause cavities? 00:44:46 Things We DMed Eachother: Austin parking tickets waived for responsible rides home 00:45:48 Things We Learned This Week: When kids develop critical thinking (and why Santa works) 00:48:18 Do you wrap gifts from Santa? 00:53:00 Is New Year’s the most overrated holiday? 00:54:55 LOVE YOU GUYS! #twoparentsandapod --------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week: *Nurture Life: Get 55% off your first order + free shipping at https://www.nurturelife.com/TWOPARENTS with code TWOPARENTS. *Hers: Whether you want to lose weight, grow thicker, fuller hair, or find relief for anxiety, Hers has you covered.
