• New House Q&A: Buying before marriage, splitting costs & what’s next

  This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re diving into a full-on NEW HOUSE Q&A— and answering everything you guys have been asking (s/o to everyone that asked questions on TikTok!!! We are having so much fun sharing this journey with you guys). We get into how we made the decision to buy, what it was like navigating the process so fast (literally and figuratively - like we have only been dating 1.5 years!!), and exactly how we’re splitting the cost (spoiler: it’s not as simple as 50/50.) We’re also talking long-term plans, if we’ll stay in this house forever, and what we’ve learned so far from doing it all together. Before we get into that, we’re covering the usual IRL updates — are we too old to be “cool”? Was missing the Easter egg hunt a parenting fail? And what exactly does your girlfriend mean when she says she’s “good with anything” for dinner? In Things We DMed Each Other: Revolve’s in legal hot water and apparently reading books out loud to your partner is the new love language. LOVE YOU GUYS! Thanks for listening :-)  00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast!!!  00:04:55 Have we aged out of being “cool”?

• We bought our first home

  Happy Thursday! This episode is a ROLLER COASTER - but spoiler alert: WE GOT THE HOUSE (ps. sorry in advance for checking for texts and taking a mid-podcast call but you guys REALLY get to come along for the ride tonight.) And in between our house updates: We’re officially sleeping again (!!) thanks to the 5-10-15 method, baby exercises (??), and ChatGPT. We also talk about using AI to plan our date night (wild), double date dynamics, and why “dad bod summer” is officially here. Plus, we talk about the little white lies we tell kids (we’ve decided our tooth fairy is gonna be from Canada). And in Things We DMed Each Other, we talk about the $3800 baby carrier that Artipoppe just dropped (and why we know our $30 Amazon one is better) + a cute family moment and some fun brand activations at Coachella. Oh and Harrison also somehow is getting scammed AGAIN (we don’t know how either). We LOVE YOU GUYS!

• Should you let your baby “cry it out”? (+ Tap-to-pay & good karma)

  Happy Thursday! This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re TIRED (sorry!!!) — we’re low on sleep over here, but we’re sharing what we’re doing to try and fix that. We dive into the age-old debate: should you let your baby “cry it out”? (We’re figuring it out in real time.) And of course, we talk about all the sleep-deprived mishaps—can’t pay for dinner, left the car running, lost phones... it’s been a week. We also give a quick house update (spoiler alert: we still don’t know what’s happening, and we’re supposed to move in a week—fun!!). And in Things We DMed Each Other, we discovered laptops maybe shouldn’t sit on your lap?? Add that to the list of things no one warned us about. And for this week’s brain break—well, we needed one. So much so that we literally couldn’t remember what we were supposed to talk about. We LOVE YOU GUYS!

• You can’t buy good neighbors (+ building your village & communication in relationships)

  Happy Thursday! This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re talking about what it really means to have good neighbors—because as you guys put it, “you can renovate a house, but you can’t buy good neighbors.” We start with some Year 1 milestone updates (why am I irrationally sad?!), from moving Tate into her own room to starting solids (Harrison has officially been named Chief Solids Officer). Plus, we recap our first annual neighborhood block party—a new tradition in the making! Next, we break down what today’s ‘village’ to raise a child actually looks like—and specifically, how we’ve built ours. Then, we’re diving into communication in relationships (and in general!)—the good, the bad, and why ‘clean’ means something completely different to both of us. In Things We DMed Each Other, we have to talk about Frida’s breast milk-flavored ice cream (yes, really—it’s not an April Fools’ joke). And finally, we’re (well actually just me Harrison had to leave for a meeting LOL) responding to your comments before wrapping up. We LOVE YOU GUYS!

• Being the “default parent” (+ moving into a hotel & crying babies on planes)

  Happy Thursday! This week, we dive into “default parent syndrome”—what it means, how it’s not good or bad (unless you’re experiencing it and you think it is!!), and how it could be your own fault if you’re the default parent?? But first - we talk about our housing update (I think we’re moving into a hotel… Eloise at the Plaza 🤝 Tate at the [insert Austin hotel here]), recap our Aspen trip (plus answered your questions about we handled childcare while traveling) and is it OK for babies to cry on planes (+ a bunch more of airplane talk lol). In Things We DMed Each Other, we talk about Frontier clapping back at Southwest and the viral TikTok trend on teaching kids to share. Then, we’re responding to your comments (trying this for the first time!!!) about building family traditions. And in this week’s Brain Break, we read a sweet (but hilarious) text from Harrison’s dad.
