Should kids really spend all day at school only to come home to more schoolwork?

It's a little bit of everything this week. Come catch up with us!

    Halloween Throwback | Four Years in a Haunted House, Three Murders & One Skeptical Husband

    Happy Halloween! 👻 We're bringing back one of our favourite episodes from last year — and quite possibly the episode we've received the most messages about! Before meeting Bradley, I spent four years living in a haunted house in the Philippines. And let's just say, I have some pretty wild stories. The funny thing? Despite being together for years, Bradley had never heard most of them. Mainly because he's the world's biggest skeptic and has a special talent for poking holes in absolutely everything. So last Halloween, I finally sat him down and shared some of my spookiest experiences. In this throwback episode, we're talking about: The haunted house I lived in for four years in the Philippines — and why we never moved out.The three murders that happened in our house just three months before we moved in.The spirit buried beneath our house in Thailand, and how we set her free.Other unexplained experiences from my years growing up in Asia.How my mom uses feng shui to explain some of what we experienced, including stories from her book, Searching for the Caravan.Bradley questioning absolutely everything (because of course he does).Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or just love a good scary story, this one's for you. Grab a blanket, turn down the lights, and enjoy this Halloween throwback! 🎃 Connect with Us: 👉 Join us in Side Chat with the Roses for the aftershow, where we keep the conversation going and answer even more of your Dear Roses questions. http://relatablewiththeroses.substack.com/subscribe 👉 Follow us on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/bradandsophia  👉 Submit future questions, topic suggestions, or respond to listener prompts: directtobradandsophia@gmail.com

    Ep 68 | Is It Unprofessional to Bring an Iced Coffee to a Job Interview?

    Is bringing an iced coffee to a job interview unprofessional? Apparently, the internet is divided. And now we're wondering whether the rules of workplace professionalism are changing—or whether we're just getting old.

    Ep 67 | Things From Our Childhood That Would Be Insane Today

    Remember when your parents could send you outside for hours with absolutely no way to contact you? Or when calling your crush meant calling their HOUSE and potentially having to speak to their mom first? 😂 This week, we're looking back at all the completely normal parts of our childhoods that feel slightly insane now — from smoking sections in restaurants and printed MapQuest directions to sharing one family computer, Blockbuster runs and waiting weeks to find out whether any of your vacation photos were actually good. Plus, before we get nostalgic: Sophia has some completely useless fun facts, we have some thoughts about the “best TV shows of the 21st century,” Bradley is ready for Christmas in September, and Sophia discovers the greatest parenting hack of all time: actually resting while your child naps. In this episode: The childhood things Grayson will probably never understandSmoking sections... right next to the non-smoking sectionNavigating with printed MapQuest directionsWhen the entire family shared ONE computerEncyclopedias, libraries and how ridiculously hard school projects used to beAIM/MSN and calling someone's actual house phoneGoing outside for hours while your parents had no idea where you wereWhy every parent told us turning on the car light would basically kill the entire familyThe absolute JOY of a Friday night Blockbuster tripDisposable cameras and waiting weeks to see your photosAnd the very different childhoods of Sophia... and Bradley, who apparently spent his with a badgerConnect with Us: 👉 Join us in Side Chat with the Roses for the aftershow, where we keep the conversation going and answer even more of your Dear Roses questions. http://relatablewiththeroses.substack.com/subscribe 👉 Follow us on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/bradandsophia  👉 Submit future questions, topic suggestions, or respond to listener prompts: directtobradandsophia@gmail.com

    Ep 66 | How Do You Explain IVF to a Kid? + Would You Lend Your Brother-in-Law $10,000?

    How exactly do you explain the birds and the bees to a kid who was conceived through IVF? 😂 This week, we're talking about how we'll eventually explain to Grayson where he came from — and whether the usual “when a mummy and daddy love each other…” story needs a little rewriting when a test tube was involved. Then, Couples Court is back! You sent us your relationship disagreements, and we're putting on our completely unqualified judge hats to decide once and for all: who's right?

    Ep 65 | Sophia Needs to Know: Did She Mess Up?

    This week, Sophia needs Bradley’s advice… on a few decisions she made YEARS ago. 😂 There are a couple of moments from Sophia’s past that she still thinks about — situations where she had to decide whether to speak up or keep her mouth shut. So she’s finally bringing them to Bradley to find out: did she handle them the right way… or did she completely mess up? Including one involving a close friend, a wedding, and something Sophia wishes she might have said nearly 20 years ago. But first, we catch up on life lately — and somehow end up debating the definition of “home-cooked,” discussing Bradley’s bathroom habits from his younger years, and sharing a Grayson story that nearly ended with Sophia brushing her teeth with something truly disgusting. In this episode: The debate over what “home-cooked” actually meansBradley reveals a VERY questionable story from his younger years 😂Sophia’s unexpected Instagram interaction after giving a stranger a New York recommendationOur latest food allergy test dramaBradley’s current gym frustrationsThe Grayson incident that almost ended VERY badly for Sophia’s toothbrushA decision Sophia made nearly 20 years ago that she still thinks aboutShould you tell a friend if you’re worried they’re making a huge mistake?We revisit a real situation where Sophia and Bradley completely disagreed on whether to speak upAnd the bigger question: when is saying something the right thing to do… and when should you just mind your own business?We need your ruling: did Sophia make the right calls?
