Lili and Scott admit how lonely it is to be a single parent and try to get to the bottom of why they don't ask for enough help. They also discuss whether it's ever ok to shit-talk the ex around the kids, and whether being Gen X or a Millennial affects how likely they are to reach out when they are freaking out.

Everyone is an expert on other people's kids! All parents get unsolicited advice, and single parents get even more. Lili and Scott discuss all the advice they're received - from family, from friends, and from strangers just walking down the street - and how they handle it. They talk about how they keep from smacking those strangers and other coping mechanisms for managing unwanted advice.

Are you a FAFO parent? Scott asked Lili this question after reading an article about the popular new lifestyle trend. It means Fuck Around and Find Out, and our hosts debate that style vs authoritative or gentle parenting while trying to figure out what describes them, and what describes their co-parent. They also dig into how to manage a co-parent with a different style, now that they are no longer in the same house to balance each other out. Plus, we hear about the sex talk Scott's dad gave him when he was a kid, which pretty much scarred him for life. Fun!

Anxiety is the constant co-pilot of the single parent, so what do we do when our kids get anxious? Lili and Scott dig into how to balance their own worries with the mental health of their children, and try to figure out how to help their kids navigate a world that seems to hell-bent on freaking them out.

We want our kids to work hard and do well, but we also want them to be happy. How do we do both? And how do single parents get on the same page as their co-parent without descending into drama? Lili and Scott try to unpack it all, plus they decide once and for all if Jason Kelce is a bad dad.
