Summary

This week writer, comedian, and best selling author, Jessi Klein joins Megan, Chris & Kurt. They love their kids…BUT that doesn’t mean they have to love OTHER PEOPLE’S kids, especially when some unsupervised 6-year-old is double kicking your 3-year-old in a bounce house like it’s Mortal Kombat! The crew unloads on the clusterf*ck of kids’ parties, gentle parenting, and if it’s ever ok to parent someone else’s kid. Then Jessi Klein joins the fun to share what it’s like to plan a kid’s party, the joy (and horror) of listening to 8-year-old boys talk (and curse) and the Queen song playing on repeat in her house and how it’s melting her brain.
