Our parents swear we turned out just fine... but we're not so sure. 😂

This week starts with a not-so-fun update on Alfie after what should have been a routine trip to have his stitches removed (spoiler: it did not go according to plan). We also accidentally realize we've been podcasting together for an entire year—and somehow completely forgot our own anniversary.

Then Sophia shares the conversation with her mom that left both of them laughing: after suggesting they skip IVF because it was "hard on your body," her mom innocently asks... "Why don't you just try naturally?"

Which leads to a much bigger conversation:

Are today's parents overcomplicating everything... or have we actually learned a thing or two?

In this episode, we chat about:

  • 🐶 Alfie's unexpected setback and why he's back in the cone
  • 🎙️ One year of Relatable (and how we completely forgot our own anniversary)
  • 😂 The IVF conversation that perfectly sums up the parenting generation gap
  • 🚗 The car seats, sleep schedules, and baby gadgets our parents still can't believe we use
  • 😴 Why one night with Grayson completely changed Sophia's mom's opinion on sleep training
  • ❤️ A surprisingly emotional conversation about Sophia's dad, regret, and making the most of the people we love
  • 🤔 What today's parenting trends will look ridiculous to Grayson when he has kids of his own
