18 OCT 2022 · Originally recorded and posted February 2019 Episode 6 covers the struggles special needs parents find with simply going in public with their loved ones. The side-eye, the obstacles, the 2nd guessing of our parenting. Many anecdotes and, again, Christy cries. SMH. In "I Didn't Sign Up for This," Christy uses the tale of Henry's first birthday cake to illustrate how basic cake pick-up can devolve into a Three Stooges reel in THISFAST. BONUSES: 1. At 20:18, you'll mishear "buckets" as "fuck-its" when Christy talks too fast. 2. You'll hear way too many uses of "quote/unquote." 3. During the "I Didn't Sign Up for This" segment, you'll hear Henry off in the background yelling about something. Check out our Facebook page & join our group! Feel free to buy me a Kofi!
