This week, comedians (and married couple!) Noah Gardenswartz and Ester Steinberg join Megan, Chris, and Kurt. They love their kids, BUT…how is it possible to be the gentle, warm, and caring parents we all aspire to be while we’re in a raging fight with our spouse? After Megan’s husband forgets his passport on a recent family trip, she finds herself torn between wanting to launch him into the sun, but also needing him to give her a break from single-parenting.  Conflict with your partner is going to happen, but the last thing Megan, or any parent, wants to do is bring that anger and resentment to a toddler’s bathtime.  When Noah decides it’s waffles for dinner, Ester can’t help but light the bickering fuse.  But as unhealthy of a dinner as waffles may be, showing their two kids that adults arguing and then (after hours of uncomfortable silence) resolving a conflict,  is in fact a very healthy emotional skill to develop. Hopefully that’s how our kids remember it years later in therapy!  And remember, you can call our hotline and leave us questions, comments, or your own funny, totally anonymous “Circle Time” parenting story at 424-570-KIDS or you can email us at Ilovemykid@wondery.com.
