This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we’re talking about parenting decisions we’ve officially changed our minds on. From sleep training to breastfeeding timelines to actually caring about “firsts,” (yeah - Harrison really claimed he didn’t care!!!), we share what we thought we’d do before Tate was born… and what we’ve flip flopped to now (it’s called personal growth OK!!).  Plus: Tate is fully on the move, which means we’re in deep child-proofing mode (baby gates, outlet covers, the whole deal). We also catch you up on some fun home updates (yes to wallpaper!!), debate the best parking spot in this week’s Bicker of the Week, and react to the most Alex x Harrison coded collab of the year: Barbie x ChatGPT. Oh—and stay tuned at the end for yet another new segment idea - Harrison’s inspirational quote of the week. WE LOVE YOU GUYS!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we’re sharing our top 5 must-haves for traveling with a baby (under 12 months)! Tate’s officially been on a TON of flights, and we’re finally feeling like we have it down. From our new 20-minute buffer rule (the stroller ALWAYS sets off the alarm) to maintaining routine with a few key constants, this list is fully battle-tested after 3 straight weeks of travel (ps. yes, we are happy to be home). We also talk about the playroom updates (spoiler: we might be going a little overboard, but it’s truly magical) and other home updates (how many times can I say Sherwin-Williams Pure White?? lol).  Plus, we revisit last week’s convo about the power of perspective—and unpack the difference between reframing and toxic positivity. In Things We DMed Each Other: an overemployed remote worker with a wild secret, TSA FINALLY ending the shoe removal policy, and a quick “Fail of the Week” involving a barbershop mishap (s/o to the very patient barber— but also, drop your thoughts on Harrison’s half-finished haircut 😂).

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we’re still in a hotel (shoutout to The LINE Austin for really making this the SUITE life of Bubber), and no, the hardwood floors are still NOT done. We filmed this one first thing in the morning before heading out for the birthday/Fourth of July trip (if you didn’t see on IG — we made our flight, but only managed to check 2 out of 3 bags in time hahaha). This week, we went to our first “kids’ birthday party” (spoiler: we loved it). But apparently, we’re going to get sick of them? We break down how we think kids’ birthday parties work—or maybe how they SHOULD work. Plus, at this party, the most embarrassing moment in recent memory happened to me (you’ll have to listen to find out what it was). And we celebrate a little “bragging parent” moment—because sometimes it’s okay to celebrate the wins. We also talk about the power of perspective, pitch a new dating app idea, and share our favorite Fourth of July memories (cue Harrison saying “bro, it was like a movie”). We love you guys and hope you get to enjoy some time off this holiday weekend! ❤️ Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast!  00:02:15 Birthday/Fourth of July trip to California 00:06:00 It’s OK to do a “parent brag” sometimes (CELEBRATE!) 00:13:52 Alex’s FAIL of the week 00:21:34 Our thoughts on kids’ birthday parties 00:29:00 The power of perspective  00:32:30 A new idea for a dating app 00:36:24 Bick of the Week: Saving contacts in your phone 00:39:40 Our favorite Fourth of July memories 00:43:08 LOVE YOU GUYS! #twoparentsandapod ---------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week:   Dipsea - Right now, you can get a 30-day free trial PLUS 25% off your annual subscription when you go to https://www.DipseaStories.com/TWOPARENTS Cleveland Kitchen - Want to make gut health easy and delicious?

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we’re back from a big family trip and giving our official Charleston recap: hotel ratings, travel highlights, and our new favorite parenting moment. OK, quick disclaimer if you’re new here (hi!) — this episode is a little chaotic. We do start with a 5-minute deep dive into women’s haircuts (??) and I was in kind of a flat mood for the first 15 minutes… but I came around and honestly this might be our most fun episode yet. (Also yes, we filmed in bed.) We talk about why Tate would rather play with an AirPods case than an actual toy, share updates from hotel life (Suite Life of Bubber - s/o to The LINE Austin) and fill you in on our wood floor drama back home. In Bicker of the Week, it’s Booking.com vs. booking direct (and for the record, I think I’m up 2-0 on Harrison). In Things We DMed Each Other, we’re talking landline phones for kids, ChatGPT brain scans (@Harrison should have been studied), and whether self-driving cars are actually safer than humans???

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re diving into YOUR controversial parenting choices. From spanking to screen time to vaccine curiosity, we break down what we’ve heard from y’all, what we’ve done, and why there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting. Before that, we’re catching up on house updates (hello wood floors!!!), debating whether vacationing with a baby ACTUALLY counts as a vacation, and sharing this week’s bicker of the week (new segment alert): do you swerve for potholes or not?? In Things We DMed Each Other, we’re talking Facebook targeted ads (they’re listening), airline seat theories (s/o seat 11A), and then diving into listener-submitted parenting choices that get everyone talking: no sugar until age 2.5, co-sleeping, no sleepovers, sleep training, vaccines and more.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — hi! If you’re here from TikTok, we’ll get into that in a bit… But first, we’re talking about why kids are being potty trained later these days (side note: can we stop calling 3-year-olds “36 months”??) and how our health habits have shifted now that we’re out of the newborn fog. In Things We DMed Each Other: a $30 million Bitcoin surprise, the most unhinged lies parents tell their kids, and a middle school teacher allegedly giving students alcohol (?!). Plus, a little brain break: we’re watching a lot more TV lately (read: we’re still drinking less )and we try not to give any spoilers (but I guess BEWARE).  We get into why the internet needs to chill on shaming moms— we’re all for constructive criticism, but enough with tearing women down / pitting women against eachother. And yes, I said vitamin C and meant D… nobody’s perfect. …Finally, hi again to the people from TikTok! We unpack the drama we’ve found ourselves in BUT I think I’m gonna make you watch to find out what we think about it.  Thanks for being here — WE LOVE YOU GUYS!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we’re getting a real look at fatherhood from a new dad’s perspective. Harrison’s answering all your questions: What does “providing” actually mean to him? Did he bond instantly with Tate? What’s surprised him the most about being a dad? And how has his view of me changed since becoming a mom? Before we get into it, we’ve got some updates: new neighbors (👀), MDW (it looks different these days) and Alex’s thoughts on babysitters leaving dishes in the sink..  And in Things We DMed Each Other, we’re talking Google’s new Veo model (WOAH and also LOL) and the very dark side of crypto.

In what area of life do they believe they need to provide the most (ex: making money, showing up consistently, spending time together, listening & responding, making decisions, etc)? 00:40:28 Dad’s POV Q&A: How does he feel in regards to how much he does compared to you? My husband always says he feels like he could do more but he already does a lot. Im curious if other husbands feel the same insecurity being the dad? 00:43:34 Dad’s POV Q&A: How has he found life has changed since having Tate? 00:48:30 Dad’s POV Q&A: What is a guy’s POV on housework & home duties?

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we bought a car (!!), Harrison is trying his hand at DIY (or at least I thought he was??), and we’re diving into how becoming parents has shifted our relationship with alcohol. From who gets up with Tate after a night of drinks, to what we did when one of us wanted to cut back, to whether we ACTUALLY pump and dump — we’re answering all your questions and sharing what’s worked (in the past 7 days that we’ve cut out alcohol lol). Plus — the Nestlé scandal somehow gets worse (they allegedly lobbied against longer maternity leave???), a new Flock collab (!!), and how Disney weirdly helped us manage our time when we were kids (wth are the Netflix era kids gonna do??). Oh, and Harrison still thinks im not lactose intolerant…  LOVE YOU GUYS!  Timestamps:  00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:03:12 I bought a car!  00:12:27 Work update: New Flock collab!! 00:16:16 House update: Harrison’s DIYing???

Did that affect any of your friendships? 00:44:49 Q&A: How do you navigate if one parent is the drinking type and the other is fairly sober? When is it fair to ask your partner that you’d like to have a few drinks instead of always being the “default” parent and how to communicate that? 00:48:20 Q&A: Im exclusively pumping and wondering how you navigated pumping and drinking. Do you pump and dump? Wait a couple hours?

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we’re looking deeper into schooling (you guys had so much good feedback last week). We talk about the possibility of starting an at-home daycare (s/o Maria), how we’re thinking about community and curriculum, and what our long-term plan could look like if we decide to do school this way. But before that, we’re recapping Mother’s Day (spoiler alert: Harrison rated his efforts a 6.5/10 and I got food poisoning lol), debating whether you ACTUALLY need to fasten your seatbelt during turbulence, and breaking down the scary moment we had to use the CPR/choking class we took before Tate was born. We came across some wild things this week in Things We DMed Each Other… including a massive baby formula scandal from the ’70s (??) and the ongoing conversation around the “decline” of alcohol (honestly, it feels like you can make data say whatever you want.) WE LOVE YOU GUYS!

HELLO FROM MIAMI!!! We actually recorded a podcast (UNRELEASED) from here right when we started dating and so we were feeling NOSTALGIC and wanted to do a little relationship Q&A.  We dive into some of YOUR questions about our relationship! From navigating parenting style differences to deciding when the right time is for another kid, we're getting personal and answering your burning questions. We kick things off with a weekly house update—spoiler alert, it involves cameras, alarms, and doorbells (read: you now need security clearances to enter our house lol). Then, we get into how we were so confident in our decision to have a kid after knowing each other for such a short time, and whether we've ever second-guessed our decision.  And of course, we touch on the big question: Are we ready for baby #2? Plus, does marriage feel more or less important now that we’ve got the house and baby? As always, we wrap up with some fun Things We DMed Each Other—including new parents getting reimbursed $36,000 for childcare and why we think DoorDash’s “DoorDad” is a game-changer. Also apparently we need to stop saying “THANK YOU” to ChatGPT?!  LOVE YOU GUYS!  (A letter from the editor (lol) - we are SORRY for the atrocious video quality - we had some major issues this week with our files from the studio.. xoxo Jules & P)  Timestamps:  00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast 00:03:55 Weekly house update: Cameras, alarms & doorbells (oh my lol) 00:06:24 Flight attendants don’t get paid for layovers?! 00:12:00 Happy Mother’s Day!!! 00:15:10 Q&A: How were we so confident in our decision to have a kid when we knew each other for such a short time? 00:20:00 Q&A: Did we ever question our decision to have a child so quickly? 00:21:55 Q&A: Have there been any parenting style disagreements yet? 00:26:20 Q&A: Who handles the planning of activities & social things? 00:28:05 Q&A: How do we split the workload? 00:33:01 Q&A: Did Harrison have any hesitation dating Alex so soon after divorce? 00:33:52 Q&A: How are we deciding when we are ready for baby #2?  00:37:48 Q&A: Does marriage seem more or less important now that we have our house and baby? 00:41:13 Q&A: We’ve mentioned we have different communication styles.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — I left Tate overnight for the first time ever (!!!) and came home to a house that was fully intact (and OURS — we finally ACTUALLY closed on the house!!!). We talk about how it felt (I have so many emotions now that I’m a mom???), what Harrison did on his weekend with Tate (“dad-ing,” not babysitting), and what he learned. Plus — the power went out across Spain and Portugal (?? but we actually think it sounds kind of fun), we share how we picked Tate’s name (neither of us actually remembers, but apparently tater tots were involved??), and get into why some kids’ shows are actually… not good (*cough cough* Cocomelon *cough cough*). Throw in a Mother’s Day surprise, an idea for Stagecoach next year, and some unwanted bug exposure (GRADUAL, per Harrison) — it’s a good one. WE LOVE YOU GUYS! Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:02:24 How did we come up with Tate’s name? 00:05:30 No power, no problem - Spain & Portugal power outage 00:10:17 We finally ACTUALLY own the house!!!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re diving into a full-on NEW HOUSE Q&A— and answering everything you guys have been asking (s/o to everyone that asked questions on TikTok!!! We are having so much fun sharing this journey with you guys). We get into how we made the decision to buy, what it was like navigating the process so fast (literally and figuratively - like we have only been dating 1.5 years!!), and exactly how we’re splitting the cost (spoiler: it’s not as simple as 50/50.) We’re also talking long-term plans, if we’ll stay in this house forever, and what we’ve learned so far from doing it all together. Before we get into that, we’re covering the usual IRL updates — are we too old to be “cool”? Was missing the Easter egg hunt a parenting fail? And what exactly does your girlfriend mean when she says she’s “good with anything” for dinner? In Things We DMed Each Other: Revolve’s in legal hot water and apparently reading books out loud to your partner is the new love language. LOVE YOU GUYS!

Happy Thursday! This episode is a ROLLER COASTER - but spoiler alert: WE GOT THE HOUSE (ps. sorry in advance for checking for texts and taking a mid-podcast call but you guys REALLY get to come along for the ride tonight.) And in between our house updates: We’re officially sleeping again (!!) thanks to the 5-10-15 method, baby exercises (??), and ChatGPT. We also talk about using AI to plan our date night (wild), double date dynamics, and why “dad bod summer” is officially here. Plus, we talk about the little white lies we tell kids (we’ve decided our tooth fairy is gonna be from Canada). And in Things We DMed Each Other, we talk about the $3800 baby carrier that Artipoppe just dropped (and why we know our $30 Amazon one is better) + a cute family moment and some fun brand activations at Coachella. Oh and Harrison also somehow is getting scammed AGAIN (we don’t know how either). We LOVE YOU GUYS!

Happy Thursday! This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re TIRED (sorry!!!) — we’re low on sleep over here, but we’re sharing what we’re doing to try and fix that. We dive into the age-old debate: should you let your baby “cry it out”? (We’re figuring it out in real time.) And of course, we talk about all the sleep-deprived mishaps—can’t pay for dinner, left the car running, lost phones... it’s been a week. We also give a quick house update (spoiler alert: we still don’t know what’s happening, and we’re supposed to move in a week—fun!!). And in Things We DMed Each Other, we discovered laptops maybe shouldn’t sit on your lap?? Add that to the list of things no one warned us about. And for this week’s brain break—well, we needed one. So much so that we literally couldn’t remember what we were supposed to talk about. We LOVE YOU GUYS!

Happy Thursday! This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re talking about what it really means to have good neighbors—because as you guys put it, “you can renovate a house, but you can’t buy good neighbors.” We start with some Year 1 milestone updates (why am I irrationally sad?!), from moving Tate into her own room to starting solids (Harrison has officially been named Chief Solids Officer). Plus, we recap our first annual neighborhood block party—a new tradition in the making! Next, we break down what today’s ‘village’ to raise a child actually looks like—and specifically, how we’ve built ours. Then, we’re diving into communication in relationships (and in general!)—the good, the bad, and why ‘clean’ means something completely different to both of us. In Things We DMed Each Other, we have to talk about Frida’s breast milk-flavored ice cream (yes, really—it’s not an April Fools’ joke). And finally, we’re (well actually just me Harrison had to leave for a meeting LOL) responding to your comments before wrapping up. We LOVE YOU GUYS!

Happy Thursday! This week, we dive into “default parent syndrome”—what it means, how it’s not good or bad (unless you’re experiencing it and you think it is!!), and how it could be your own fault if you’re the default parent?? But first - we talk about our housing update (I think we’re moving into a hotel… Eloise at the Plaza 🤝 Tate at the [insert Austin hotel here]), recap our Aspen trip (plus answered your questions about we handled childcare while traveling) and is it OK for babies to cry on planes (+ a bunch more of airplane talk lol). In Things We DMed Each Other, we talk about Frontier clapping back at Southwest and the viral TikTok trend on teaching kids to share. Then, we’re responding to your comments (trying this for the first time!!!) about building family traditions. And in this week’s Brain Break, we read a sweet (but hilarious) text from Harrison’s dad.

Happy Thursday! We’re back with another episode, and this one has a little bit of everything. First up—the ongoing gift saga continues (because of course it’s not over yet - but this time we have a solution???). Then, we get into the dynamics of double dating—and how I might talk too much (I think it’s OK though bc I talk for a living? lol)  We intro’d solid foods this week!!! So we chat about that plus an update on my pumping/breastfeeding journey.  And in HUGE news… we made an offer on a house! We’re talking through all the house-hunting updates, property taxes & creeping on people on Zillow hahahha OH and an update on the nanny share… Also, we’re throwing a block party?! We might be THOSE neighbors now (or our neighbors might trying to be convince us to stay??).  In Things We DMed Each Other, we’re chatting drinking vs. social isolation and why all couples are actually the same. Listener Qs this week: Breaking parenting “rules” (and finding the joy in parenting) and our opinions on long-distance relationships. And we’re wrapping up with a Brain Break: the best & worst purchases from the first six months of parenthood (spoiler alert: our fav thing is cheap from Target!!!). We LOVE YOU GUYS!!

Happy Thursday! We’re back with another episode, and this one’s a fun one. Getting ahead of this now - I’m SORRY for the scream at the beginning (but I know you guys understand 🕷️🕷️). First up—Harrison just launched a new product (not an ad #NoFreeAds). Then, we get into our family’s secret languages (do you have one??), an update on Tate (she’s 6 months old!!! is this the end of pumping?), and the TL;DR of the house situation is that there’s no update and we’re like 30 days out. We’re also talking about friendship after kids—does having a baby mean losing friends? Does your FRIENDS having babies mean losing friends? And how can you be a supportive friend when your bestie becomes a parent? Plus a reminder to pay attention to how your friends talk about their partners!!! A sweet dad-to-be calls in and we share our #1 tips for prepping for baby. And, of course, we’re ending with the usual chaos—Fyre Festival 2 is somehow happening (allegedly), and we have some (alleged) thoughts. We LOVE YOU GUYS!!

Happy Thursday! We’re back with another episode, and this one’s fun. First up—Apple just dropped a kid-friendly watch?! (Have they been listening to the pod??? LOL) Then, we get into date night swaps with the neighbors (GENIUS), house hunting stress (shoutout Zillow addiction), and a shocking revelation… Harrison just found out babies under six months can’t wear sunscreen (ps. Tate has NEVER worn sunscreen - apparently he just didn’t know why lmao). Introducing our new segment (OK we’re just testing it but…): Table Topics! It’s all about the convos you’d have at dinner with your “parent friends” - relationships, pop culture, personal finances, parenting—and we want to hear from you! This week: Is “no kids ever” a relationship deal breaker? Plus, pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. Let us know in the comments if you like the new segment, and drop a voice memo with your question/comment/take for next week - https://memo.fm/twoparentsandapod/ And, of course, we’re ending with the usual chaos—plane crashes, Katy Perry in space, and people (read: Harrison) screaming at Waymo cars.
