Episode 44: Advice Needed For Intrusive Questions at Work and Responses to Military and Adoption Stories
Listen now
Description
We chat a bit about what it might be like to have an only child while living a military or traveling lifestyle, and read an email about a family who has moved many times. We also read several emails about adoption and step-siblings in response to last week's question about an adoptive child and their biological siblings. In an Only You Podcast first, we have a listener asking for ADVICE! We read their quandary, comment with our thoughts, then turn to all of you for advice on the matter. Can't wait to hear what you all think! This week’s questions: Cont'd: Does anyone have tips or stories about raising an only child as a military family? Do you feel that the process of adoption is not accurately depicted in parenting circles or pop culture? Help our listener weigh in on a coworker who rubs her the wrong way as a parent of more than one. Feel free to write in about anything you want, each week we will be taking questions or stories on a wider range of topics so that everyone’s voices can be heard. 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.
