Night nurses, potty training prep & what is the etiquette for befriending a friend's friend?

5/21/20261 hr 18 min

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we have an unintentional Q&A episode because Alex put up a story box late last night, and we ended up answering your Qs for like… 45 minutes 🤭 So tons of practical stuff in here, including: WHY we decided to hire a night nurse and what it actually looks like for us (you guys had so many questions about this!), our potty training prep for Tate (she's 19 months and showing all the signs… are we ready?!), and then not so practical stuff like our thoughts on the Blake Lively / Justin Baldoni case (hahahha). OK TLDR on YOUR other questions: Tate is OBSESSED with her new baby doll (the imaginative play era is real and so cute), how we organize the kids' clothes for potential future babies (sticker printer + labeled bins, very not Alex), wedding & honeymoon plans (we're getting back into it!! safari for the honeymoon??), and how did I know Harrison was the one (spoiler: it was the way he answered "how was your day?" lol). Plus, do we want more boys or girls for the next two kids, formula feeding guilt when your milk hasn't come in yet, the "I want to try for #2 but I'm SO nervous to be overwhelmed" question, and a viral trend ("me on a Tuesday morning because I didn't marry a loser"… we have thoughts). Then we get into pop culture: Harrison's full Summer House finale + In The City review (skip the first 9 minutes if you don't watch lol), Craig Conover wrote a CHILDREN'S BOOK?!, Alex is officially loving Off Campus (Jules is shocked), and our Survivor finale predictions. Plus, TWEET OF THE WEEK on Jeff Bezos's tax proposal (the bottom 50% should pay 0% in taxes — and Alex is making us all vote on it), THINGS WE DMED: the etiquette around befriending a friend's friend (the 3-hangout rule + are you a bridge friend or a moat friend?!), a Memorial Day block party update (we're at 80 people and Alex rented a DUNK TANK?!), and THIS WEEK WE LEARNED how fingerprints actually form in the womb (mind blown). LOVE YOU GUYS!

    [bell rings] Bienvenue à bord de VIA Rail. Embarquez et profitez. Embarquez et relaxez. [slurping] Sirotez, bouquinez. [page turning] [snoring] Ah, ça aussi. Et profitez. [bell rings] VIA Rail, la voie qu'on aime We have a unique dynamic today, and you know what that dynamic is?

  2. Jules· Panelist0:18

    What?

  3. Harrison Fugman· Host0:19

    I got home last night late. I got home at, like, 11:00 PM.

  4. Jules· Panelist0:23

    Oh.

  5. Harrison Fugman· Host0:24

    And now it's the morning.

  6. Jules· Panelist0:25

    Yeah.

  7. Harrison Fugman· Host0:26

    So Alex and I haven't even really had the chance to, to catch up.

  8. Alex Bennett· Host0:30

    Oh, we haven't. So Harrison's been out of town, which he posted on his Instagram, but he posted it the day he was coming back. So smart of you. Um, and so I had the little kiddos.

  9. Harrison Fugman· Host0:43

    So he's gone for one night.

  10. Alex Bennett· Host0:45

    Two nights, technically. So, uh, technically you, you slept in another bed one night, but it was two nights of putting the kids down.

  11. Harrison Fugman· Host0:52

    Yes.

  12. Alex Bennett· Host0:52

    So I call it two nights in my head.

  13. Harrison Fugman· Host0:54

    And you did an unbelievable job.

  14. Alex Bennett· Host0:55

    I had fun.

  15. Harrison Fugman· Host0:57

    I have a funny, like, d- kind of other alternative dynamic. So I posted where I was, like, a day late.

  16. Alex Bennett· Host1:04

    Right.

  17. Harrison Fugman· Host1:04

    The pro- the problem in doing that was the reason why I posted I was at Sweets and Snacks was to see who else was at Sweets and Snacks.

  18. Alex Bennett· Host1:14

    Right.

  19. Harrison Fugman· Host1:15

    But so there was a s- a specific one guy who I really would have loved to caught up to, but our paths didn't cross 'cause I posted late.

  20. Alex Bennett· Host1:21

    Sweets and Snacks is a food convention, like a work convention for you.

  21. Harrison Fugman· Host1:25

    Yeah, it's, it's similar to Expo West where a bunch of food brands set up,
