Summary

This week on Bottle Service, Sarah braces for a major winter storm and discusses survival techniques for the winter months inside with rambunctuous little ones. She also discusses the "mother son" wedding dance heard round the world & the clothing selections at Costco before diving into a very REAL parenting issue no one warns you about: parental preference. Does your baby only want Mommy… or Daddy? And why does it somehow feel like the most personal rejection of your life? Let’s talk about it.

Got a situation you need an unbiased (but honest) opinion on? Email sarah@bigkidproblems.com and we’ll discuss it on the pod.
