Episode 06 / Parenting rules vs. Parenting RULES!

podcast

Jul 8

SHOW DESCRIPTION:

Episode six rules. Or rather it's all about rules: what rules we had growing up, what rules our kids have now. We discuss if our younger siblings had the same rules we did and talk a little bit about free range parents and helicopter parents and how it may be possible to be both!

LISTEN (ITUNES):

THIS EPISODE AT A GLANCE:

Just a Theory: % Likelihood Of you being a rule follower depending on your birth order

SHOW NOTES:

Opening reference: O'Doyle Rules (video compilation)
Chris is the oldest of five brothers whereas Indiana is an only child who, in high school, moved in with her aunt and uncle and two younger cousins. Relevant: birth order infographic.
The four letter F word we reference is the word "FART". We didn't want to say it on the show in case you're a parent who doesn't allow your kid to say "fart" and they are eavesdropping while you enjoy MJ&DJ. Relevant: 150 Different Words For 'Fart' (via HuffPo).
TV shows we mention: The Simpsons, You Can't Do That on Television, Roseanne, South Park
For nostalgia's sake: Vintage Bart Simpson shirts (Etsy), You Can't Do That on Television: Barth's Burgers (Youtube), YCDTOTV: Slime, Water, & Pie compilation (Youtube).

The Stanford Marshmallow Experiment
CORRECTION: My younger cousin who I say went to Paris with a boy corrected me. They went to London. BUT STILL!

QUOTE OF THE SHOW:

"Let me see that Tootsie Roll." -Chris

LET'S DISCUSS:

Where do you fall in terms of birth order? Do you think that has any affect on the rules you had (or didn't have) growing up?
Were you allowed to say "fart" growing up? Do you allow your kids to say fart now?
Parents: What is your favorite parenting rule? Non-parents: Go, ahead! Share one of your "I would NEVER ______ when I become a parent." No judgement!

ACTION ITEMS:

We have four more weeks to try to land in New & Notable on iTunes. We aren't sure how it works, but we think it's a combo of downloads, five star ratings, and written reviews on iTunes. We would still appreciate the iTunes love!
Add Indiana on Instagram if you haven't already. We love sharing snippets of life there, too.
