It’s another “AnchorDAD” episode with Karen’s husband, Gregory.
Greg picked not one but TWO news articles for this week’s episode, which earns him an overachiever award. Now...if only he was that committed to laundry. Perhaps that’s another episode entirely.
This week the moms and dad take on “The Myth of the Lazy Father” and wonder aloud if this article is accurate or just written by...you guessed it...a man. There’s a lot of numbers and stats in this one, which reminds the moms why they’re in TV, not, say, accounting.
Plus, a new trend! Single folk are having kids with strangers in order to have a co-parent. Yes, this is a trend, at least that’s what the NY Post says. And yes, our hosts are a smidge skeptical, but also curious.
Lastly, a teachable moment during a pandemic. What we’ve learned about education during COVID-19.
