Episode Notes
On this episode: Elizabeth, Jamilah, and Zak help a dad referee (and ultimately avoid) after school arguments between his six year old and three year old. They also talk about tangly hair, the ‘snuggle stage,’ and becoming overwhelmed when your day doesn’t go as planned.
Then on Slate Plus: they discuss the parenting section of The Cut’s new rules of etiquette.
