    91. Who Does What? A Picture Into Our Parenting

    We're breaking out a Venn Diagram in today's show to give a peek into our marriage and parenting. The two of us have drifted into "the leaders" of certain things like staying on top of our finances, chores, groceries, and all sorts of other things. We also talk about the things we share pretty evenly.

I sure hope you guys come back I miss you.Updated review Code word: Hakunamatatta

I watch every week. Is there a way to comment without writing a review? I don’t want to delete my old one’s. TJ! Don’t poo poo Melissa’s pee pee problems. They are real. I got them with my first and he is about to turn 30. Melissa, you can go to the doctor if it is affecting your life. My friend just had a bladder sling put in. She can jump on a trampoline again! I love you guys! You guys are great. I love sharing TJ’s videos on Facebook. They are so spot on. Your insight is refreshing. I am a middle married to a firstborn with 3 boys (now adults) in 3.5 years. I loved seeing one of your girls eat a smiley face out of a tortilla on taco Tuesday. What looked like total chaos was very creative and planned. My husband and I study the enneagram and it has helped get to understand eachother a lot. Do you know your types? If so do you see any relationship with birth order and the Enneagram? Keep up the good work. I would love to listen to you daily.
