One Bad Mother

In preparation for the holidays Biz and Theresa think about all the weird shit adults do to kids at family gatherings. From pulling coins out from behind your ear to the old “pull my finger” bit, it’s all reflective of the fact that adults may be a little out of touch. That said…quick…pull my finger! Plus Biz has a backyard miracle and Theresa embarks.

Theresa is out sick with the pukes, so the lovely Renee Colvert, of Can I Pet Your Dog podcast, returns as our guest co-host. We explore the art of rudeness in children and dogs. Both can leave a mess on the floor at a guest's house and both generate mixed feelings among us and our co-workers when they show up in the workplace. Plus Biz hates Daylight Saving Time and we speak with Sarah Bowen, one of the authors of Pressure Cooker: Why Home Cooking Won't Solve Our Problems and What We Can Do About It.

Find out more about the book Pressure Cooker: Why Home Cooking Won't Solve Our Problems and What We Can Do About it at PressureCookerBook.com. The book is available now wherever you buy books. You can follow Sarah on Twitter @sarahbowen1 and on her website at sarahkbowen.com.

Biz and Theresa have a little whine with our dinner and poke fun at some of the “child friendly” offerings at restaurants. Of course we should have realistic expectations when eating out with our kids, but really, that grilled cheese is too fancy for a 3 year old. Don’t you have some white bread back there? Plus Biz gives a knowing look and Theresa probably knows what she needs to do.
