S6E23 – Tween Tantrums & Tiny Terrors: A Parenting Pumpkin Patch Special

Posted on by

In this hilariously honest episode of the Guide to Poor Parenting Podcast, Jason and Jennifer grab their pumpkin-spiced wine glasses and dive headfirst into the chaos of fall family life. From surviving a “wholesome” trip to the pumpkin patch (spoiler: there were meltdowns) to debating whether kids or dogs are easier to manage, it’s a full hour of relatable parenting mayhem.

Listen as our fearless hosts share therapy-worthy moments, Reddit parenting confessions, and the eternal mysteries of the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus. Plus, Jennifer recounts an unforgettable dinner with a 4-year-old food critic who has a lot of opinions about pizza.

If you’ve ever bribed your kid with snacks, argued about screen time, or pretended not to hear the word “Mom” for five minutes of peace — this one’s for you. Pour yourself a glass, laugh along, and remember: we’re all just doing our best (poorly).

Cocktail: Line 39 Red Blend

Snack Time: Chocolove Milk Chocolate

S6E16 – Road Trips With Kids: A Comedy of “Are We There Yet?”

Posted on by

Buckle up, parents — we’re hitting the open road, minivan packed, snacks locked and loaded… and kids already asking “Are we there yet?” before we’ve even left the driveway. In this episode, we share the hilarious highs and disastrous lows of family road trips:

  • The eternal backseat sibling wars

  • Gas station snack negotiations that rival the U.N.

  • Car karaoke nobody asked for

  • And the dark art of packing 27 toys, only for your kid to play with a stick from a rest stop

Whether you’ve survived a 12-hour drive with toddlers or you’re gearing up for your first family vacation on wheels, this episode is your comic relief for the long haul. Warning: may cause flashbacks of Goldfish cracker crumbs in every seat crevice.

Cocktail: Mo Sierra Salinas Monastrell

Snack Time: Speculoos Cookies

S6E10 – The Screen Time Olympics: Everyone’s Losing

Posted on by

Welcome to the Screen Time Olympics—where the events include Netflix Negotiation, Tablet Tossing (by parents), and 100-Meter Dash to Find the Remote.

This week, we explore our complicated, co-dependent relationship with screens—those glowing rectangles that buy us peace and steal our sanity. Is screen time really the devil… or just the lesser evil when dinner’s burning and your toddler is feral?

We’re handing out zero medals, plenty of guilt, and a whole lot of laughs. Tune in to hear us discuss:

  • Why screen limits are a fantasy invented by childless people

  • The difference between “educational” and “please just be quiet” apps

  • And how we all became background characters in our kids’ YouTube videos

Spoiler: Nobody’s winning. But at least we’re all in this digital mess together.

Cocktail: Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey

Snack Time: Target’s Favorite Day Peanut Butter Chocolate Trail Mix
