Episode notes
Biz and Theresa explore the complicated nature of receiving gifts from our children, from edible treats to physical affection to artistic renderings. How do we celebrate these occasionally misguided and even off-putting but nonetheless heartfelt gifts without sacrificing…oh, I don’t know, our human dignity? HA! Are we really required to eat the thing that the 4 year old is calling “pancakes?” Plus, Biz feels like a fair ride, Theresa is ready for stuff to start getting easier, and we talk with Alissa Quart, author of SQUEEZED: Why Our Families Can’t Afford America.
You can find more from Alissa Quart on Twitter @lisquart or on her website at Alissaquart.com. Her new book Squeezed: Why Our Families Can’t Afford America is out now.
