Description

On this episode: Jamilah Lemieux, Zak Rosen and guest host Maribel Quezada Smith advise a couple who have one kid. They thought they were a ‘one and done’ family but they’re feeling the pressure of the biological clock and now don’t know if they should have a second before it’s no longer an option. We also have listeners weigh in on how they approach family composition. 

Recommendations: 

Zak: Embrace mismatching socks! 
Maribel: Laundry bags. 
Jamilah: Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.—the movie.
