Hello and welcome to mom and dad are fighting Slate's Parenting

Parenting Podcast for Thursday, December 19th, the Holiday Squirrel Edition.

I'm Allison Benedict, an editor at Slate and the mother of Harry Five, Sam almost three and

Wally Nine Months, who by the way is a monster baby weighing in at 23 pounds at his last

checkup. Holy holy. I'm Dan Coise I'm an editor it's late I'm the dad of

Lyra who is 8 and Harper who is 6 who I think weighs like the same as Wally.

Yeah, well we had a, we have like a four-year-old over the other day who was wearing the same size diapers as their nine-month-old.

Yep, it's all in the breast milk.

On today's show, we're going to talk about how interfaith families approach the holiday season

with Susan Katz-Miller, the author of a new book called Being Both, Embracing Two

Religions in an Interfaith Family.

And then parenting hate reads, those often New York Times, sometimes Atlantic, sometimes

slate, stories about and four parents that seem written to intentionally

enrage us all and yet we can't stop reading them.

But first, our parenting fails or triumphs for the week.

Dan, you go first.

I have a triumph.

Oh, another triumph.

Yes.

I'm really, I'm posing myself in this podcast as an excellent parent.
