I’ve been a fan of Jamilah for years and enjoy her perspective but she barely has a voice on this show. Zac and especially Elizabeth treat her as an afterwords. The most recent episode the conversation was dominated by conversation between Zac and Elizabeth as if Jamilah isn’t there. I hate that!...Read full review »

I really appreciate the diversity of parents and the authenticity in the stories they share and practical advice.

I enjoyed this show for many years but have slowly lost interest over this past year. I enjoy some of the recommendations and advice but don’t relate very much anymore.

I enjoy most of the shows, but for some reason don't care much for Lucy as a host and many times Jamilah comes off as indifferent. I guess this is how normal parenting group would be worth the varying personalities.Read full review »

This is an amazing podcast due to the candor of the hosts. Thanks for sharing your parenting wins and fails (but notice the female hosts give themselves fails more often! You’re doing great, moms), strategies for child-led and gentle parenting, and dealing with raising kids today.

Stupid parenting advice. Annoying voices. I fortunately forgot who recommended this to me, or I would no longer talk to them. (As a general rule, when someone refers to their kids as “littles”, just run away).

With Doyin, Lucy and Zak/Jamilah. I’ve been missing the old Carvel/Rebecca dynamic- it’s nice to see some fire and disagreement with the hosts!

I am a longtime listener and attempting to write a review that the hosts/makers will consider for improvement. The 30min format is not going well in my opinion. Sometimes I am checking my settings to see if the audio is sped up because hosts are talking so fast. The content feels way more rushed...Read full review »

Man, some of these reviews are really mean! I love this podcast and still listen even though my kids are grown. Current hosts have great chemistry together, IMO. All have interesting perspectives and I enjoy when previous host come for a visit.

They eat dirt so why would you allow they to choose who they ‘think’ they want to be for the rest of their lives at 5 Dumb parents

I love this show so much! No shade to the current hosts, but I highly recommend going back to early 2017 when Carvell and Rebecca joined the show and listening through all of the episodes those two are on. They have so many incredibly thoughtful, personal, and funny discussions. The...Read full review »

Elizabeth is only person who is interesting. Neutral on Zak. Jamila is smugly self satisfied, uninteresting and annoying beyond belief. Please get former hosts back.
responsble hunan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/18/22
He gives horrible advice. And honestly I find him very grating in general. I love Jamilah, Elizabeth, and Zak. I do wish they wouldn’t be afraid of conflict. For the love of god, please find anyone else but Aymann to be a sub when someone is out.

There are more words than ‘like’ in the English language. Like podcasters should like try to like learning like some of like them.

I unsubscribed today after being a long time listener. I can no longer support Slate or the “Mom & Dad are Fighting” podcast when their contributor (Dan Kois) is repeatedly tolerated in expressing prejudice towards a group of people (disdain for SAHMs) based on their career and parenting...Read full review »
Reviewer DLB via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/22
I have listened to this podcast longer than I have had kids and I am finally done. I am an open minded progressive woman, but the advice they give is just too much. I don’t think they do any research on their questions and always want to apply to most over the top woke parenting concepts to every...Read full review »
Cmbeetle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/17/22
Echoing the assessments of others, the advice and hot takes from the rookie dad of a three month old makes this podcast less valuable and less engaging. Slate has plenty of parents with more experience under their belts to draw upon while Dan is out - take advantage!
dodgefan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/30/21
Used to love this podcast (miss Carvell Wallace!) but the chemistry and voice of new hosts does not work. New dad of new baby should not be dispensing advice. Too inexperienced. Elizabeth, I can only take in small doses. Need grizzled sardonic parents who curse and lament not cheerlead. I’ve...Read full review »

I enjoy the listener letters and their advice. I don’t care about their product reviews.
Rebecca mac via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/24/21
I used to love this podcast, listened every week. They replaced Dan, the only host with older kids, with a dad who has one newborn?? Seriously?? He’s totally clueless and I can’t listen. One of the best things about this show was that over the years it had parents of older kids and teenagers and...Read full review »

Long time listener and loved this podcast until recently with new hosts. Highly recommend new listeners listen to old episodes and skip more recent ones.

i have no children, and am unlikely to ever have children. i also listen to 4-5 hrs of podcasts per day, so i have some strong opinions and preferences when it comes to podcasts. and this show is one of my absolute faves. i've listened to every single episode, and it's fantastic. ...Read full review »

Jamiliah, Dan and Elizabeth, hosts of the Mom and Dad are Fighting podcast, highlight all aspects of parenting and more in this can’t miss podcast! The hosts and expert guests offer insightful advice and information that is helpful to anyone that listens!

Jamilah, Dan, and Elizabeth pack every episode with great information, practical solutions, and insightful interviews and conversation. Love their conversational style and how inspired and encouraged I feel after listening to them. Thank you for helping us parents out!
narwal alexa via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/25/21
No other podcast is as entertaining AND educational as MADAF. I so appreciate the host’s vulnerability and willingness to share their perspectives and fails with us. I’m a better parent for listening and learning with Dan, Alison, Gabe, Carvell, Rebecca, Jamilah, and Elizabeth. Thank you!!

I love this show, but I miss Allison so much. When she was introduced on the most recent episode I was beyond excited. My favorite parenting podcaster because she’s so relatable and funny.
Rucal18 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/07/21
I never miss an episode and it’s mainly for Jamilah. She can perfectly explain why a situation may feel wrong or uncomfortable for a parent and then offer up the best solution. That was most evident in this week’s episode (Potentially Too Provocative) where for both listener questions she...Read full review »
CarolineG2013 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/03/21
The show used to be actually mom and dad fighting ... frankly sometimes ridiculous things are said that deserve push back but the hosts are unwilling to actually fight and often times are unwilling to call a spade a spade.
juliocs1302 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/11/21
The show is good. They've gone through various sets of hosts over the years. This current one is not the best, but has its strengths. However, be aware that there can be significant digressions in the banter, and triumphs and fails can go on long at times.Read full review »

Life isn’t great right now for so many people. Life with young kids in America can be extra hard. But these hosts are an inspiration to be better people all while reassuring us that we’re doing ok. And it’s just fun to listen!
El Hemp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/10/20
I love this show, the banter helps quarantine not feel so lonely especially with me home with my kids now more than ever. They have really helpful advise, it’s like having your friends here with you. The only bummer is the weight watchers ad for kids, that is troubling and I hope that gets...Read full review »

I am loving this podcast! Jamilliah & Dan pack every episode with tons of amazing content, guests, and interviews that will motivate, uplift and inspire you. I highly recommend!

I love to listen to this podcast every Thursday it comes out. With fresh humor and relatable parenting situations, it makes me smile each week.

I really like this podcast. It makes me laugh and think. However, I really hate that Weight Watchers is a sponsor and pushing their kids program. Please reconsider this.
Noel2929 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/07/20
I want to love this show. Current and previous hosts are funny, caring and informative. The banter back and forth is engaging and hosts present solutions that are family positive. However... they have teamed up with Weight Watchers for kids. This is abusive and will cause eating disorders, a...Read full review »

They had excellent chemistry, were super articulate, funny, fair, and although I naught not always agreed but I respected their perspectives. I looked forward to the podcast every week. Now I’d rather go back to older episodes with them on rather than listen to the boring and sometimes annoying...Read full review »

I recently started listening to the podcast. Honestly, I’ve only listened to 3 episodes and they were all ok. Then I listened to the episode titled “Bosslady in Crisis”. With respect, I could not disagree with their response or opinions more. Their response to a woman looking for solutions to...Read full review »

Was a 5 before he left. A 1 since. He has a tempering effect that even makes listening to Jamilah tolerable (for short periods of time).

Hi! Longtime listener, first time commenter. I noticed some wild comments about marijuana and I just wanted to clarify that weed is not, like, what some of you seem to think it is. For regular smokers (which I am not), a small amount of weed isn't particularly impairing, no more and perhaps...Read full review »
