Famous words from a three and half year old: "Don't look at me!!"
Oh, Dr. Becky, I need to stop podcasting and read your book before it is too late. Our boy is not out of control. In fact, the problem is more likely to be the nuts that are raising him... or trying to.
This fortnight's episode continues the discussion of the feline fecal frenzy that is our laundry room along with the ever evolving thing we call "parenting." Sure, there's plenty of side trips along the way, so we certainly hope you enjoy this episode as we are...
Doing the Most!!
Okay, that AI recap was so out of left field! 😂 Anyway, this is Scarlet’s coworker Kathy and I just had to pop in to say I have listened to all the episodes now and they are so much fun! And relatable. It’s like sitting around listening to a great chat—like when we are at work and things are slow and random topics come up. I listened to episode 4 yesterday and today while I was just driving or cleaning and it was so good! I even teared up a little at the end when Scarlet was talking about the book she’s reading and not wanting to mess up with parenting. I relate to that big time! It’s impossible to get it right all the time. We just do our best. And sometimes what’s right for one kid doesn’t work for another! I don’t know how many characters I get to type here, but maybe I will find out haha. You asked about alternative dates and I thought of a funny thing we do. My husband Scott likes to DoorDash. It gives him something to do to get out of the house when he is restless. He likes to use his little DoorDash debit card with the money he earns to get lunch or other random things without me judging him haha (I do the budget). Sometimes we go on DoorDash dates where I ride along with him and we can just talk and hang out. It’s almost like a game figuring out how to get the best orders and make the most money. It’s surprisingly kind of fun and instead of spending money we are earning a little. Not much after gas and taxes and all that, but at least it’s a cheap date haha. So that’s a weird idea maybe. Another thought with the stuff that you want to get rid of that’s still good, they have groups on Facebook or craigslist or wherever that you can give stuff away for free. I don’t know your beef with Goodwill (maybe tell that story sometime if it’s a good one) but there’s always DI or other thrift stores. I get the struggle with stuff and wanting to pare down and it’s so hard to do! I’m definitely closer to Mitchell’s number than Scarlet’s on the hoarder scale. I was talking to Scarlet about that issue not long ago actually, which is how this podcast came up in conversation I think! So anyway, thanks for the laughs and the food for thought. And I didn’t run out of characters!
