    Daycare, Mom Worries & Snot Sucking

    This week on Can You Say Mama, we tackle the anxieties and necessities of parenting young children, from choosing the right daycare to the wild imaginations of worried moms, and yes, even the nitty-gritty of dealing with baby colds. Whether you're touring daycares, lying awake with "what ifs," or just trying to keep your little one healthy, this episode offers both solace and solutions. We kick off the episode with a deep dive into the world of daycare tours. Choosing the right place for your child can be nerve-wracking, and we share our personal experiences trying to find the right solution for our kiddos. Next, we explore the phenomenon of "mom worry" — that constant buzz of anxiety that keeps many parents up at night. Why do moms (and dads) spiral into a world of worst-case scenarios, and how can they manage these fears without losing their minds?  Lastly, no parenting discussion would be complete without touching on some less glamorous realities, like dealing with a snotty baby. We give you the lowdown on snot suckers, who loves them and who hates them all while trying not to gag. Join us on Can You Say Mama for an episode filled with empathy, advice, and a healthy dose of reality checks.

    Baby #3, Listening Ears & Self Care

From the unexpected exchanges of embryo transfers to the daily dramas of toddler discipline and the surprising economic impact of raising kids, this episode covers it all with a mix of laughter, learning, and a little bit of financial reality. We kick things off with a playful hypothetical: what if Sacha's embryo was transferred to Cass? We explore this amusing scenario with all its potential complications and comical outcomes, injecting a bit of light-hearted fun into the complex world of fertility treatments. Next, we shift gears to a topic many parents wrestle with daily: getting toddlers to listen. "Listening ears" might sound like a simple concept, but anyone who's tried to get a two-year-old to follow instructions knows it's easier said than done. We dive into effective strategies for enhancing communication with your little ones, fostering cooperation without the fuss, and why understanding the developmental stages of children can make a big difference in your approach. Lastly, we tackle a question that might make some parents chuckle (or cringe): Are kids actually saving us money, or are they stripping us of all our self-care and financial sanity? We break down the costs of child-rearing, from the diapers stage to diplomas, and discuss how parenting shifts our spending habits, often squeezing out personal luxuries and self-care routines. Plus, we consider whether the joy and fulfillment of children might just be the most valuable return on investment. Join us on Can You Say Mama for an episode full of insights and anecdotes that every parent can relate to. Whether you're debating the true cost of children, trying to teach your toddler to tune in, or just in need of a good laugh about the surprises of parenthood, this episode is for you.
