Summary
This week Laurie Kilmartin joins Megan, Chris & Kurt. They love their kids… BUT are completely stressed about how soon is too soon to expose them to anything and everything? Like, when is it ok to show them The Lion King? How old do they have to be before you can leave them with a babysitter? What’s the worst that can happen when that babysitter is just a slightly older kid? Or worse, an older sibling! Plus comedian and super-mom to a 16-year-old, Laurie Kilmartin dishes on how she survived the “nuclear bomb” that is being a single parent and the struggle of juggling parenthood with her comedy career, while also caring for her ailing mother, and how she spends most of her time nowadays as her son’s personal Uber driver to and from Popeyes. Then in Wins & Losses, everyone unloads on what a colossal waste of time it is brushing baby teeth!
