Babylist It Forward, ChatGPT for Teens & are modern playgrounds TOO safe?!

Two Parents & A Podcast

Show Notes

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Friday!! Let's start with the fun stuff: we've seen the #BabylistItForward movement (thank you Alex Cooper!) and we want to do this for YOU guys.. or a friend you think could use it! Comment yours (or someone else’s!) Babylist links on YouTube or Spotify and we'll be picking a handful at random to send gifts to. (PS: Alex is requesting a story alongside the link!!)

Ok, let's get into the episode, because it was a good one. Of course we started with three rando topics no one planned: not all shopping lists are created equal (are you a recipe planner or a free-baller?!), Harrison's new H BOMB segment "Is THIS hard for everyone or is it just ME?!" (this week: printing.. why is it SO hard), and a rare (actually not rare at all lol) Bicker of the Week between Harrison and Jules over a word they were actually both wrong about.

Then we get into the good stuff: the back to school decorating trend we LOVE, Alex's new go-to postpartum gift for moms (daytime pajamas!!), what to say when family calls your toddler's big feelings a "temper tantrum," teaching kids discernment (not just independence!), how/when phobias develop, and why playgrounds might be a child's first real taste of the world. Plus a quick note on why we're not covering the Lindsay Clancy case.

Our last convo is all about ChatGPT for Teens.. including a really interesting debate on chatbot relationships, how AI is making homework easier but learning HARDER, and who the heck is supposed to be governing all of this?!

LOVE YOU GUYS, happy Friday!!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday!! EURO JULES IS BACK!! The trip recap is lowkey scattered throughout the entire episode (sry), but the highlights: a Tuscany wedding, a “2 hour” drive that was actually 4.5 through scenery Jules swears is Pittsburgh adjacent (it’s a compliment??), and a new barometer for measuring the success of a trip.
