Hello Friends! We are Ashley & Josh. Just two parents raising a little weirdo, out here just doing our dang best. We created this podcast as a way to be that "village" that everyone talks about. We are by no means experts, and we don't have much advice. Our goal is to create a judgement free community that understands that kids are weird, and parenting is hard. We offer a raw view of Parenthood, and not gonna lie, we're funny af. We hope to make you laugh along with us, cry along with us, an ...

We've talked a lot about maternal mental health on this podcast. But for the first time ever, we're talking about paternal mental health. A topic that is vastly overlooked. Join us for Josh's first time taking the lead as we have an open and honest conversation about Father's and their mental health. Stay Sane Out There. www.kidsareweirdpodcast.com…

Hey friends! So sorry to disappear on you all (again). Life is just crazy and as we always say, we're just out here doing our dang best. That being said, we have a new episode for you and it's alllll about picky eating! We now both have picky eaters, and it's quite the wild ride. Kids are WEIRD when it comes to food. Like, it makes no logical sense…

We're talking nakedness and modesty this week. Taking on weird questions like "is it a problem to change our kids in front of another child", or "when is the appropriate age to stop showering with our children?" To be honest, we both tend to follow our kid's lead when it comes to them wanting privacy, and for now, that works for us! As the great Ru…

***Due to a technical error, you might be seeing this episode for the second time! It was accidentally uploaded to the wrong date, and a lot of people had missed out on seeing it was new, so we wanted to re-publish it so more of our audience could hear it. Our apologies if you've already listened.*** It never seems to stop. The constant running to-…

Weddings are A LOT. They bring out the best in some of us, and the worst in others. People can get very weird about weddings, which makes sense. It's only like the biggest day of your life right? Listen to us chat about all the weirdness that came with not only our own weddings, but weddings we've both had the "pleasure" of being a part of. Stay Sa…

With new moments that no parenting book could ever prepare you for, we're starting to ask ourselves the following question: "Is everything just secretly covered in pee?" After some recent events, we're starting to think it just might be. From outdoor playgrounds to indoor playspaces, we, unfortunately, have fallen witness to a handful of situations…

I think it's time we start to normalize only having one child. Especially, those of us who choose to have an only child. I grew up with the notion that only children are "weird" or "spoiled" but, now that I'm choosing to only have one child, I can tell you this is not always the case. Let's stop making families feel bad for only having one child. O…

If you could listen in on a convo with a real-life parenting coach, would you do it? If yes, then this episode is for YOU! We were lucky enough to have the wonderful Albiona Rakipi back on with us to give all us parents out there some much needed tips/advice! I'm sure you all remember Albiona from our Mom guilt episode. She's a fellow Metro Detroit…

Gone are the times when parents leave the house with just their phone or purse in tow. When leaving the house with kids, it seems like we bring everything but the kitchen sink! And when our little ones have a say in what they want to bring with them, things can get, well, interesting... For us, getting out of the house lately has felt like a nevere…

I feel like this episode doesn't really need much further explanation. We all kind of know that some good 'ol QT is sometimes exactly what the doctor ordered. Especially for kids. But also especially for marriages. I mean, really for any relationship that you care about. But it isn't always easy to find time for quality time. With life being so bus…

It's all fun and games when you're trying to make a baby... until it's not. The journey to parenthood isn't always the smoothest of roads and honestly, we don't feel like it's talked about enough. After months of doing the baby dance, making it through the dreaded "two-week-wait", just to be faced with a big ole "Not Pregnant" test result can lead …

We've talked about how kids clothing sizes are confusing af, but now we're going off about women's sizing. It makes no sense. Nothing about it. I can own several different pairs of things all in the exact same size, and they will all fit differently. And just because you're a size 6 in Old Navy jeans, does not mean you're a size 6 in Target jeans. …

It's been one of the hottest summers on record, and we've been doing everything we can to stay cool with the kiddos. That means we've been frequenting kid-filled, chaotic, water-wonderlands known as, "The Splash Pads". Maybe your area calls them "Spray-grounds" or "Spray Parks", but one thing's for sure, when you're there, you have to stay on your …

We needed a title that sums up all the weird things that happen to us on an almost daily basis, plus a way to update our audience on what's happening in our lives, so here you go! Kind of an episode full of randomness and A TON of real-life weird s*** Stay Sane Out There. www.kidsareweirdpodcast.comAshley & Becca tarafından oluşturuldu

We talk a lot about things being weird. Hell, it's our entire brand. But, there are a lot of aspects of parenting that aren't weird and making yourself a priority is one of them. In fact, it's so not weird-it's literally necessary. When we prioritize ourselves, we are better caregivers, partners and overall humans. However, it's way easier said tha…

We figured that the 4th of July is a perfect time to talk about how much we absolutely can't stand fireworks. They're loud af. They're stressful. Is it fireworks or is it gun shots? Why are we hearing them at 2 in the afternoon?! Why are we hearing them at 2 in the morning!?!? Overall, they're just problematic, okay? Stay Sane Out There. www.kidsar…

Everyone has a couple of good ol' coworker stories. A few favorite work friends that maybe you wish you could see again, or even a few toxic ones that you will avoid until the end of time. We've been there, we've seen some things, and now we have a few stories to share. Join us as we reminisce on all the good, the bad, and all the weirdness that co…

Really, Mom shaming is awful and we NEED to stop doing it. Parenting is hard enough without being shamed by strangers on the internet, or family, friends-WHOEVER. And if you are someone who Mom shames (or Dad shames) others, this platform is not for you. Don't shame other parents. Just don't do it. You're shamed if your house is dirty, you're shame…

Where my default parents at? You know, the ones who never get to poop with privacy. The ones who are up 6 times during a meal before they even take a bite. The ones who have to be woken up to ask what color a t-rex is? Yeah, we're talking to YOU my friends. Being the default parent is not an easy task-but someone has to do it....right? Stay Sane Ou…

Feeding kids makes no sense. And the longer my child is alive, the less sense it makes. One day they eat 4 yogurt smoothies, and the next day they cry at the mere mention of them. It. Makes. No. Sense. I would argue that one of the weirdest aspects of children, is trying to feed them, and WE KNOW we are not alone on this. So let's talk about it, sh…

My relationship with screen time is....complicated. Like, I'm not anti-screen time but I STRUGGLE to not constantly feel guilty for every single second my child spends watching a screen. Even when we're ALL sick. Why am I like this? I know screen time is a widely debating and at times controversial subject in the parenting world, and I get why it i…

So I stumbled upon this Buzzfeed article titled "17 Babysitters Opened Up About The Most Screwed Up Parents They've Ever Worked For, And You Should Buckle Up" and I thought "yeah we definitely need to do an episode about this. If you wanna feel reaaallllllly good about who you are not only as a parent, but a person-this episode is for you (and by y…

I feel like the title kinda says it all on this one? Listen, I would happily die for my kid. But as far as other people's kids? That's gonna be a no from me, dawg. I'm both intimidated & terrified of other people's children. And other parents?!?!?! Even worse. So let's talk about it! Stay Sane Out There. www.kidsareweirdpodcast.com…

I feel like we talk a lot about the transition from infancy to toddlerhood, but I never remember anyone talking about the transition from toddlerhood to big kid-hood. Like that moment when you cross the threshold into the big kid aisle for clothes. That's a BIG moment. Realizing your kid is no longer a baby, and admitting to yourself they're a pret…

Really, this episode should be titled "Allergies are the woooooorst" (sung in the style of Jean Ralphio from Parks & Rec) But really, allergies can suck it. And that goes for all types of allergies. With it being springtime here in Michigan, we thought it would be a fun topic to talk about (IKR allergies, fun???) Listen to us ramble on about all th…

We have very weird relationships with imaginary play. On the one hand, we are blown away by our children's abilities to create this imaginary world, with all these imaginary characters and places, and scenarios. On the other hand, we kind of suck at imaginary play.. and dare I say, we kind of low key *hate* it? I know that for a lot of parents imag…

Does being spontaneous after you have a kid even possible? Yes...but at what cost? Usually, your sanity. One thing we can all (maybe) agree on is that trying to be spontaneous after you've had a kid is borderline impossible. Let's discuss!

Ah, nap time. You can't live without it, yet in so many instances you're forced against your will by a tiny human who still shits themselves to live without it. Before I had a kid, I always thought nap time was this magical time where I could finally be free and do whatever I wanted (which, let's be real is also nap) which-it can be- but I quickly …

Doctor's visits are always a lot. My question is: Is there anywhere out there who actually enjoys going to the doctor? There are several things I need to be seen for, but I just. don't. want. to. do. it. And there's the striking difference between medical care during pregnancy versus the medical care during the postpartum period. Can we say "Mother…

I mean, where's the lie tho? Making Mom friends is HARD. Like, nearly impossible. And trying to make/maintain friendships with those who don't have kids, is even more impossible. So, let's keep it short & sweet and just get to talkin. about it! Stay Sane Out There. www.kidsareweirdpodcast.comAshley & Becca tarafından oluşturuldu

One thing I definitely was not prepared for as a Mom was how stressful play dates can be. They can come with A LOT. And you usually just end up playing referee among a pack of rabid toddlers the entire time. Granted, that's not every time. When a play date goes smoothly it truly is *chef's kiss* but, as we all know, they can also be a perfect recip…

As someone who literally hosted her daughter's birthday party yesterday, I can tell you that kid's birthday parties sure come with A LOT. The food, the decorations, the pressure for perfection, who the hell to invite, and not to mention the MESS. As I lay here among the chaos and havoc that was reeked upon my household yesterday, I just keep asking…

Potty training. Where to even begin? No, like, seriously can anyone tell me where the f*&$ to start because I am LOST. All I know is, everyone's potty training journey looks different, and there's no one size fits all approach to it, either. All kids are different, and all kids learn to go on the potty in their own time. It's time we talked about i…

Have you ever just been going about your business, enjoying conversation with someone and BAM-they hit you out of nowhere with this question? It recently happened to one of our hosts, and we wanted to share out true and unfiltered feelings around this question, and how it can make women feel. To sum it up? Stop asking women when they're having kids…

Sometimes it feels like trying to keep things organized whilst having a child, is not only impossible but also pointless. And, as per usual we have no advice on how to make it any easier but we can certainly commiserate about how much it SUCKS. Throw a husband into the mix who refuses to put his dirty laundry actually IN the laundry basket, and it'…

The amount of clothing my 2 year old has, is unseemly. The amount of clothing she had before she was even born, was borderline offensive. Trying to figure out sizes, styles, whether their onesies should have buttons or zippers (for the love of God buy onesies with zippers) ! Kids clothes comes with a lot. Like, A LOT. And this is just buying it. Do…

Both of your hosts turn 30 this year! And NGL it feels way weirder than either of us want to admit. So weird in fact that we did a whole episode on it! Entering a new decade of life certainly brings up a lot, especially as women & mothers. So join us as we talk about allllll the feelings we're feeling about turning 30. Stay Sane Out There. www.kids…

Ah, the unspoken weirdness that comes with enrolling your kid into some type of class. There's the trying to decide if and when they're ready for a class, what class they should take, and not to mention the expenses that come with it. It's easy to already start to feel behind by not having your 1 year old taking soccer classes, but is there also su…

With the new year right around the corner, we thought it would be a good time to discuss just how weird resolutions are. Does anyone know how the whole "new year's resolutions" thing even got started? I know for me, most of my resolutions are abandoned by Feb. Maybe even earlier. We love the idea behind them; trying to grow, trying to be a better v…
