Episode 49: Becoming a Parent During Covid, Pregnancy Timing and Age, Spoiling Our Onlies At Holidays
Listen now
Description
We're both a little sick (with just a cold thankfully), but we're powering through it! This week, we read emails and chat about how the Covid-19 pandemic affected our family size plans and the way we experienced parenthood. We also read emails from a family whose age factored into being one and done. A listener writes in to ask for advice about gift-giving for their only, and how many presents is too many for one child. We also hear from a parent who wishes her child's behavioral issues could be addressed without the added stigma of being an only child. Want to tell your story? Email us at [email protected] if you have thoughts on these questions or find us on Instagram or Facebook to be a part of the conversation. You can now support us on Patreon! All patrons at the $5 level or above can join us for a monthly mental health support group via Zoom and folks at the $10 level can listen ad-free. Also remember to please leave us a review wherever you get your podcasts.
