Hello, and welcome to Mom and Dad are Fighting Slate's Parenting Podcast for Thursday, February 27th, the Suburbs v. City Parental Death Match edition.

I'm Allison Benedict, an editor at Slate, and the mother of Harry 5, Sam 3, and Wally a week away from 1.

And I'm Dan Koyce. I'm also an editor at Slate.

I'm the dad of Lyra, who is 8, and Harper, who is 6.

Hey, Dan.

Hey.

So, on today's show, we're going to talk to our colleague, Hannah Rosen, who recently wrote a piece in the Atlantic about coming to terms with her son's Asperger's diagnosis just four months before the American Psychiatric Association ditched the label. And then, city versus suburbs. Where is it better to raise kids? Dan and I will duke it out, Dan, you can't hack it and you need to leave the studio and drive your station wagon to an olive

garden. But first, our parenting fails or triumphs for the week. Oh, actually, but even before

that, a very important announcement. Oh, yes. Dan, get free refills while I'm making this announcement.
