    Home Alone- Family Stories

    Home Alone-  Family Stories

    In today's episode of The Next Family Meeting, Brandy, Susan and the 3 kids discuss the most insane thing that happened when the twins were home alone for the first time.  Brandy tells the craziest story about the time she called 911 and a ghost phone call comes in the middle of the podcast.  Buckle up you are in for a ride and this is quite possibly our favorite episode to date.  It's all family friendly with a lot of laughs along the way as you kick back and listen to the family share their "home alone" stories. 
    Susan AKA MO admits why she is the family's "Phil Dunphy" 
    Brandy shares about the family trip to Paris and Portugal
    Sophia shares about driving for the first time
    *I know we said it was Season 2 but it's actually Season 3!  
    Penn and Bella share about their Colonial Trade market at school 
    Action packed and full of fun.

    Emily & Sophie: Same-sex family planning, sperm donors, and the elusive second child...

    Thanks a million to Emily & Sophie for sharing your beautiful story! Today we talk about going down the at-home insemination route to conceive as a gay couple and the extra difficulties that come with trying for baby number 2.

    I'll add a trigger warning here, as we talk a lot about our uncomplicated pregnancies that ended in live births, so maybe give this one a miss if you're not ready to hear that yet.

    Cholestasis and Two Moms | 7 Month Old Twin Girls

    Cholestasis and Two Moms | 7 Month Old Twin Girls

    Nat chats with  twin mom Lucy Graham about her twin pregnancy after IUI, a diagnosis of cholestasis, C-section delivery at 35 weeks, how the newborn stage went with feedings and sleep, what it's like with a 2 mom family, and what her day-to-day life is like with 7-month-old twin girls.

    Twins Tale is sponsored by Zoe Strollers. Be sure to check out their awesome twin strollers here.

    Lucy Graham is originally from the East Coast but has lived in Hawaii for 16 years. She moved for grad school and never looked back. She met her wife in 2016, got married in 2018, and they decided to try to have a baby in 2019. Lucy got pregnant on their second IUI attempt and they were completely shocked to find out a few weeks later it was twins (especially because they had been told there was one egg). Lucy was an elementary special education teacher but now works from home as an editor while her wife travels a lot for work (or did pre-COVID). They now have 7-month-old fraternal twin girls and are still shocked on a daily basis that there are two!

    Adulting — 50

    Adulting — 50

    Millennials are so... special. Believe us. We have one. In the Millennial generation, everybody gets a ribbon and everything gets a sticker. They even have a word for growing up. It's called "adulting." In fact, there's a book and about a million articles all about the subject.  

    There's really nothing new about growing up or adulting, but there is certainly enough to talk about! Especially since we have one "adult-ish" son, another who is in full-fledge adulting mode, and a third boy on the precipice of the whole thing. 

    What does adulting entail, you ask? Well, if you want to know whether or not your teen is adulting, here are a few questions to ask:

    • Do you regularly have the oil in your car changed?
    • Can you neatly wrap a gift?
    • Do you know how to write a cover letter?
    • Do you know how to sew a button back on?
    • Do you make your own doctor's appointments?

    That's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. It is possible that you read that list of questions and admitted to yourself that perhaps — at 35, 45 or 55 —  you're not adulting so well yourself. Uh-huh. That's right. It's not EASY growing up, so cut your burgeoning adult some slack.

    If you want to take some of the pain out of nudging your teen toward independence, and realize you're not alone in the struggle, this week's episode of I Shouldn't Have Had Kids should help. Well, at least it will make you laugh. That's because our boys have faced or are facing all of the adulting challenges and they've made plenty of mistakes along the way. And believe us, so have we. The silver lining is that it makes for some damn funny stories, and we're bringing them to you on the show this week.

    So pour yourself a glass of wine, put in your earbuds, and take a break with us as we podcast for parental sanity—ours and yours.

    Same-sex Parenting – 11

    Same-sex Parenting – 11

    If you're straight, you might not know the kinds of hoops that same-sex parents jump through in their effort to raise and protect their kids. Never ones to shy away from the taboo, Bonnie and Ellen tell you all about it in this episode of I Shouldn't Have Had Kids.

    It will probably blow your mind.

    For instance, what if you had to adopt your own child after his birth?

    Or, what would you do if the office lady in your step-son's school told you that you couldn't pick him up without a note from the bio mom?

    And what names does a kid use for each of his two moms or his two dads?

    Houston, we have a problem.

    Get ready to bust a gut as Bonnie and Ellen push past anger and find humor in even the most unfair situations on their journey to fabulous same-sex parenting.

    Quote from Zach Wahls' speech to the Iowa legislature in 2011 (see video link below):
    “My family really isn't so different from yours after all. Your family doesn't derive its sense of worth from being told by the state, ‘You're married. Congratulations.’ No, the sense of family comes from the commitment we make to each other: to work through the hard times so we can enjoy the good ones. That comes from the love that binds us. That's what makes a family.”
