    This Mom was Wrong for This

    Hello, Hot Single Parents! Today we need to remember to be careful about how we communicate things to our kids. In this episode, Anthony is going to break down and share his thoughts about two TikTok videos that he would describe as a little emotionally "manipulative." We check out a video of a mother and her interaction with her daughter about visiting her dad and a mother greeting her kids after some time away, while exploring themes of manipulation and communication, and parenting strategies. You may disagree with Anthony's takes on these videos, and that's fine, but hopefully this will lead to some healthy conversations about emphasizing the importance of honest, neutral conversations with children in co-parenting situations. Let's get into it! _____________________ New episodes drop every Wednesday! You can find audio versions of the podcast on all your favorite podcast-hosting sites!

    I'll want you, but forget your Kids!

    Hello, Hot Single Parents! Today we're saying, "screw the kids!" In this episode, Anthony reacts to a popular TikTok video of a man explaining how he has no problem dating a single mom; however, he does not want anything to do with her kids! Ever! He doesn't want to see the kids. He doesn't want to hear the kids! He doesn't want to smell the kids! He wants none of that! How do we feel about this? Is he totally in the wrong, or can we see where he's coming from? This one might get a little feisty. Speaking of feisty, we're going to end the episode by reacting to another video that might ruffle some feathers! What if we said there were some real perks to not having your kid(s) 24/7, 365? Obviously, we love our kids and want them with us as much as possible...but having them part-time may not be all bad! Let us explain! _____________________ New episodes drop every Wednesday!

    From Pick-Me Girl to Podcaster!

    Hello, Hot Single Parents! We have a special guest joining us this week! From the "From Sad Pick Me Girl to Alchemist" Podcast, let's give a warm SPP welcome to our new friend, Denise! Denise and her podcast are all about helping people discover the true value of loving yourself before trying to find validation in other people. As a former self-proclaimed "pick-me" girl, Denise is no stranger to the highs and lows of misaligning yourself with people who are not the best for your soul. Listen as Denise shares her journey from a sad pick-me girl to an alchemist, emphasizing the importance of self-love, authenticity, and inner work in transforming one's life and relationships. However, Denise isn't only an amazing podcaster, she's also a single mom who isn't afraid to highlight the positive side of being in a co-parenting situation. We're curious to see if you agree with her divisive take on the benefits of having kid-free time. Let's get into it! _______________________________ New episodes drop every Wednesday!

    I Want a Dad for My Kid!!!

    Hello, Hot Single Parents! The SPP is back with a couple of takes that are almost as hot as you all! To kick off the episode, we'll hear from a Single Mom who is very open about the fact that she wants to find a father for her son. When she dates someone, she makes it very clear that you will be stepping into the role of dad in her son's life, plain and simple. Now, what do we think about that? In the second half of the episode, we'll talk about one of the real realities of being in a co-parenting situation...the fact that sometimes it can really suck not having your kids in the home with you. Sometimes, when our children are gone, it's easy to just wander around our house like NPCs, and our host, Anthony, is no stranger to that fact. So, get comfortable, SP's we have a lot of big ideas to get through today. We're curious to see how many of them you actually agree with. ___________________________ New episodes drop every Wednesday!

    4 Hot Questions We Need to Answer Before Summer!

    Hello, Hot Single Parents! It's Summer Time, ya'll!!! However, this season is a little bittersweet for our good ol' host, Anthony. This is the time of year when his favorite guilty pleasure, Love Island, drops; however, he applied to be on the show and didn't get a callback. This didn't stop him from applying for another reality dating show, however! He just finished another application for a show that had over 100 questions he had to fill out! So, he thought it might be fun to take a few of the questions and ask Jessica what her answers might be. For example, let's say someone wants to pull up and throw down with Jess...how is she going to handle that? I don't know, but I guess we're going to find out! Let's get into it, Hot SP's! _______________________________________________ New episodes drop every Wednesday! You can find audio versions of the podcast on all your favorite podcast-hosting sites!
