Leaving our baby for the first time (+ gaslighting & “kid-friendly” shows to avoid)
59:05 Share

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!
