There's no instruction manual on how to be a parent. We're all just trying to figure it out.

So we created a place for parents to share their terrible and hilarious mistakes with other

sleep deprived parents just like us. I'm Ryan. I'm Johnny. And I'm Shawna. And between us,

we have seven kids aged two to fifteen. Join us every week on our ridiculous journey through

the pitfalls of parenting on the Bad Parents podcast. Search for and follow the Bad Parents podcast

wherever you find your podcasts. New episodes every Wednesday.

A listener's note, the following episode contains course language, adult themes,

and content of a violent and disturbing nature, and may not be suitable for everyone.
