When it comes to school, we thought that if we put the right parameters in place, if we put them in a school with extra resources that suited their learning styles and if we gave them tutors when they needed extra help that we wouldn't have to be a part of the learning and teaching. And by "we", we mean Nat. It turns out that is not the case. An alarm bell recently went off when one our kids expressed a lot of emotions over school work. We have to be careful as parents, working harder doesn't me...

TW: We talk a lot about drugs on this episode. Everything from drugs that can make you horny to drugs we want when we are in an old folks home. We are seriously thinking of starting a company for sex supplements. There has to be something for woman, a drug or a pill that you can take and then you just feel horny. If it existed already it would be for sale everywhere. We know there is the little blue pill for men but where is that option for women?? Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone? ...

You already know her for her cult classic television series but she has also made an impressive name in the cooking space, releasing her second cookbook, "Here We Go Again," sharing recipes and inspiration to level up your leftovers. We even learned what to do with champagne leftovers...although is there really such a thing?! Hear a few of Tiffani's favourite recipes and don't miss her big reveal on frozen cauliflowe...

If you aren't careful, your insecurities can become your children's insecurities. 1000% they will transfer to them. Like our trauma of school. School is an intense topic for both of us. That's an issue that we are trying to turn around, to make it positive one. So that they can have possibilities that we didn't have. Our husbands don't know what it's like to not be good at school. To fail. It's never too late to take your insecurity and not transfer it. It's never too late. Want our podcasts sen...

Back to school brings back a lot of unknowns. It's another year for our kids to get closer to who they will be as young adults. If things seem crazy, just now that you are not alone. We've been parents for 15 years and everyday is a new day. We want the best for our kids and we want to put them in a situation where they will thrive but we can't do homework for our little people. Totally not capable of it. We get grade 2 math wrong. Take the pressure off of yourself. Homework is not so that your ...

Friday episodes have been a segment we love to incorporate into our live shows. People that are dating are always talking about their sex lives but it's like the people in long term relationships are the forgotten souls of sex OR they don't want to talk about how much/how little sex they are having. One of the things that bonded us the most when we first starting hanging out was the conversation about how much sex we were having (or NOT having!). It's easy to assume that the people that look hap...

Nat's been doing some proper adult things lately including getting a pap. She really wanted Cat to go with her but Nat had to tackle this one on her own and one thing she discovered was that the rooms are not soundproof! Haha. We also recapped the summer and how it was not an easy one for Cat. Up until this point, our kids haven't needed much. When this summer happened, Cat was like holy f*ck. Everything was all consuming for the first time in her parenting world, it nhad to be dealt with immedi...

There is a whole section of motherhood that has been left out. Your family in a blended family is not going to act like a first family. Stepfamily life can make you crazy if you want it to. A stepmom does the same thing as a mom but suffers so much judgement. A new mom gets met with tips, advice, compassion, and the village. There are many stepparents who have to go through this without feeling like they have a community. It is a double standard. Jamie Scrimgeour is wife, stepmom/mom to four kid...

We have two very different thought processes this week; 1) Cat will leave Marc before she cheats on him and 2) every time Nat see's a man, even if it's Cat's husband, she is thinking of what it would be like to sleep with him. In fact our husbands come up quite a bit this week, from wet dreams, to porn and whether or not current Marc would sleep with 30 year old Cat. Try and follow along!

We don't sit down with too many men so when we do you know it's going to be a good one! We were first introduced to Marc Lafleur through his meat. Yep. His meat.

When it comes to an online presence with our kids we have boundaries and they are very clear. We won't bad mouth our kids. We try to keep comments about our kids as general comments rather than specifically about one or the other. If we mention them off the cuff, it's our experience with them, not about them. And never too detailed. There's a huge case right now that has come to light about how a young family of kids was treated by their mother. The things that some children have to endure at th...

If you have a complex kid you don't need to ask the question “What is a complex kid?”. When you have done everything that parenting experts have told you to do, when typical parenting paradigms aren’t working and you are still struggling, then a coaching approach may help. It's an empowerment based method all about transferring ownership and fostering independence. It works with all kids unbelievably well but particularly those where there are control issues involved.

Teenagers are overloaded, strapped for time and asked to wake far earlier than they should due to school start times. It’s no surprise that they are often sleep-deprived as a result...and with far-reaching consequences. Journalist Lisa Lewis joined us for a discussion about why our teens’ and tweens’ sleep schedules are so out of sync with our own and how we as parents can help make sure they are getting enough sleep. Lisa also explains how and why our kids go from waking up at 5:00am as childre...

60-80% of sport is a mental game yet very few teenagers are learning skills to train that part of their brain. If teens are spending hours playing sports and looking to reach their highest potential they should also be training for the mental game of sport. At some point talent will run out and how they overcome a personal failure, a parent yelling from the sidelines or a coach benching them for missing a shot will help to keep them in the game of elite sports. If sport is costing them their men...
