Summary
A young mom feels dismissed by older moms and authority figures, and also asks for our tips for managing a kid with a quirky obsession. A longtime listener asks Meagan and Sarah how to handle kids who have come to expect big fun all the time. A mom of a preschooler is stumped on how to respond to her little guy’s tall tales, fibs, and white lies–and how to sort fact from fiction. Finally, even though we haven’t been in her shoes, we encourage a twin mom who’s expecting triplets (yes, triplets!) and feeling nervous about about how she and her toddlers will cope. Join us for the latest installment of one of our favorite series–listener questions!

| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm Megan. We're two moms with eight kids between us from |
| 0:05.2 | little to grown. We're in different areas of the country and in different stages |
| 0:09.0 | of life, but we both know that motherhood's a lot easier when real moms share |
| 0:12.7 | tips and encouragement. And remind you that it's really all gonna be okay. We're |
| 0:16.6 | not experts. We're parents who've been there. We're not perfect. We're real. |
| 0:19.9 | Welcome to the Mom Hour. Hey everyone and welcome to episode 348 of the Mom Hour. |
| 0:26.7 | I am Megan Frances here with Sarah Powers. Hi Sarah. I'm Megan. How are you? I'm |
| 0:31.7 | great because it's one of our favorite times of the year. It's listener questions |
| 0:35.4 | time. I'm excited about this. Really excited. We have some really good |
| 0:39.1 | questions today. We do. And just as a reminder, we do ask for these throughout |
| 0:45.2 | the year. Periodically, we will dive in and answer several in one episode |
| 0:50.5 | because you know, while we do a lot of episodes, we can't get to every single |
| 0:54.0 | topic that moms are thinking about. And so this gives us a chance to really |
| 0:57.3 | dive in and give some personal experience around things that maybe you're |
| 1:00.4 | going through that we haven't covered recently. Yeah, that's so true. And I |
| 1:04.8 | think I know we have a lot of new listeners who've been reaching out to say |
| 1:08.1 | hello. And I think if you are a relatively new listener, I think these are one |
| 1:12.0 | of my favorite types of episodes to I guess give everybody a little peak |
| 1:15.9 | inside our, we're just two moms with a bit of experience. But we end up |
| 1:21.0 | telling some stories and maybe covering topics we wouldn't devote an entire |
| 1:24.8 | episode to. But when asked, we usually have some thoughts and advice. We also |
| 1:30.2 | love when we get to hear your voices. So I'm really excited both this week |
