We open the episode discussing our many, many, many, many, many Christmases. And then we get into parenting advice and how we try to think about it skeptically. Instead of introducing a true second topic, we instead introduced a subplot of Pop’s incredible work coming to grips with his neurodivergence and the criminal lack of psychological services in most places.

Oh Crap Potty Training. Come for the pants-less potty training, but maybe skip the heavy dose of shame and doomsaying.
The Family Skeptical: We’re a married atheist couple raising two wonderful, strange children. We ask big questions, dissect weird parenting moments, and examine how society ignores or misrepresents families like ours. If you’re any stripe of non-believer who’s involved in raising children, welcome! You are our people.
Our kids are Reader (10!) and Go (7), and if you want to find out how we arrived at these peculiar pseudonyms, go back to Episode 1.
