My House Feels Like Wrestlemania

On this episode: Lucy, Zak and Elizabeth tackle a letter from a mom who feels like she’s living in Wrestlemania. This mom and dad love tickle fights and wrestling with their two boys — but the younger one isn’t so good at honoring a tap-out. So, we’ll talk about how to prevent, or at least pause, the wrestling match before anyone gets hurt.

We’ll also check in and share what’s on our minds this week. Then, if you’re hanging out for the Slate Plus Playground, we’re talking about parenting burnout.

Lucy’s check-in: don’t let the list run your life

Elizabeth’s check-in: scheduling emails… waaaay out

Zak’s check-in: Ami’s a real Beatles fan
