This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday!! Quick housekeeping: Jules is officially off on her Euro trip, which means P is filling in ON THE MIC this week.. (everyone say hi to P!!)
We open with a confession: we joined the Jura cult (anyone else??? the neighbors are founding members lol) Alex gives a full review of the new coffee maker, PLUS a question that spirals us: does anyone actually know / care where their coffee beans come from? You know your wine regions.. why don't we know our coffee?
Then road trips: fresh off ours, we need to know at what age they get FUN with kids (comment when yours turned the corner!!) Like we are IN on the Fort Worth Stockyards (EVERYONE needs to make this family trip).. but the HOW of getting there isn't so great with 2 under 2(ish). And a Bicker of the Week brought to you by I-35: does the driver control the radio?!
OK listening back, this was a very Texas episode.. the big news: Tate rode her first horse!! Which opened the question we weren't ready for: are we doing horseback riding lessons? (Alex: "Do you know what a horse COSTS??") Plus Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" hit 24 weeks at number one and we have to ask: is Texas single-handedly carrying this chart? (Or is something else going on??) And the ACL mudfest: knee-deep mud, Uber drivers canceling on anyone covered in it, and honestly.. we get it (but also people need rides!!)
Then the parenting corner: the nanny share logistics you asked about (yes, there are cribs EVERYWHERE), spoiled kids aren't born they're RAISED (we get into the delayed gratification learnings and the habits we're watching in ourselves), and speaking of habits we created: Tate is sleeping in our bed, we let it happen, and we knew exactly what we were doing (one of us got in the CRIB last night, we're fine).
Finally, a hot airline take from the DMs: carry-ons should cost $25 and checked bags should be free. Think about it: every single boarding problem is a carry-on problem. Plus the ADHD pen analogy that will itch your brain, and your daily reminder to check your food labels.. this week's discovery HURT (RIP to a beloved bread for us).
Hope everyone has a great week :-) LOVE YOU GUYS!
