Hanging On To Your Non-Parent Identity (or "Who Am I!?!?!?")
01/31/22 • 73 min
Parenting changes your entire life in pretty much every way from the second those kids are born. So, how do we hang on to who we are? Today we're talking about how we've tried to hang on to our identities after becoming parents.
Plus, we've got some fantastic Kids Quotes (and some great ones from Stacy and our friend Taylor), we share about our recent trip and we wonder how normal it is that our four-year-old son calls us by our first names. (It's kinda weird, right?)
This is Episode Two of Parenting Is Hard!

The First Episode
THIS IS IT! Welcome to the first episode of Parenting is Hard!
In our first episode, we share a little bit about ourselves and what we want this podcast to be. (An entertaining opportunity to feel better about your parenting as we crowdsource parenting.) Also, what we definitely DON'T want it to be! (A judgmental downer that just makes you feel like you're failing.)
So, jump on in as we introduce recurring segments like "Parenting Wins" (gotta focus on the positive stuff!) and "Matt Reviews Things" (Matt shares an interesting perspective on Nickelodeon's "Bubble Guppies") and we bring you into our parenting journey with two sets of twins!

We'll be talking about those challenges and sharing some things we've learned as well as a horror story of the time we stupidly thought we'd take 9-month-old twins to Maui. (It did not go according to plan!)
On top of that, Matt Reviews Stuff is back this week with a look at the Netflix cartoon "Rainbow Rangers" (I bet you can't guess how he feels about it
