0:06.0	Welcome to Mom and Dad are Fighting, Slate's Parenting Podcast for Thursday, September 19th.
0:11.6	The Wrap It Up edition.
0:14.0	I'm Jimmy Lillamue, a writer and a contributor to Slate's Parenting Advice column Karen Feeding.
0:20.0	I live in California, sort of, and I'm mom to Naima, who's six and sitting by my side today having a sick day from school. Feel better, Naima. I'm Dan Cois. I'm an editor and writer at Slate. I'm the author of How to Be a Family Out This Week. And I'm the dad of Lyra, who's 14, and Harper, who's 12. Hi, Jamila. How's it going? Good. Thank you. It is a little bit of an insane week, book release week, but I think I'm going to make it through. What's this about a book, Dan? I heard you have a book. Rumor it has that I have a book. Thanks so much for asking. Yes. Listeners to the podcast have probably heard a lot about this book. But yes, how to be a family. The book I wrote about our family's trip around the world in 2017 is out now and in stores. And Slate Plus listeners, today will get a little extra excerpt as well. So anyways, buy the book, buy the book. Have you ever
1:12.3	liked anything I've said on this podcast? Do you hate me and wish you could burn something I love?
1:17.4	Buy the book. And one thing I would love to add is I'm on tour for this book right now. And so if
1:24.7	you are a mom and dad or fighting listener and you want to meet me, please come out and come to these events.
1:29.8	And the next week I'm doing four events, in fact, and I would love to see you on Friday, September 20th.
1:35.4	I'm at Politics and Prose in Washington, D.C.
1:38.4	On Sunday, September 22nd, I'm at Book Passage in Corte Madera, California.
1:47.0	The next day, Monday the 23rd, I'm at Books Incorporated in Berkeley. And then Wednesday the 25th, I'm at Fly Leaf Books in Chapel Hill,
1:51.9	North Carolina. I think each of these events will be really fun. And I would love to meet you.
1:56.3	Please introduce yourself as a listener and shake my hand. And we'll have all these events
2:00.4	listed on the
2:01.3	Slate Parenting Facebook page as well under the events tab. Buy the book. By the book. So in addition to
2:08.7	us selling you to buy the book, today we've got a question about a 14 year old who's looking to
2:15.0	purchase some prophylactics for the first time and a co-parenting dad
2:19.9	who's finding that maybe his little one isn't quite as happy in the other household as he is
2:28.2	when he's with his father. So to kick off today's show, as always, we're doing triumphs and fails.
2:35.0	I have so many of each this week.
