Episode 268: The Things We’ll Do to Get Them to Do What We Want Them to Do… Wait, What?

Episode 268

23rd August 2018

Biz and Theresa realize maybe we have never left “the forest” and that the forest has been tricking us this whole time into believing it’s a nice place! We look at the sometimes insane and always exhausting techniques that we implement in order to get our kids to do things. As we jump though hoops everyday to get our kids to function, we can’t help but wonder, “Is this just my life now?” and “Is it ever going to get better?” Well shit, maybe it won’t. Also on this happy show, Biz has a worst first and Theresa doesn’t do mornings.
