On this episode: Lucy Lopez, Elizabeth Newcamp, and Zak Rosen get into a listener’s question about whether or not to gift a gaming counsel to their college kid. They bought the gift when the kid was doing well in school, but now they’re struggling again. Should that matter? But first, they share their latest triumphs and fails. Elizabeth is in her Worm Era and explains the wonders of vermicomposting. Then Lucy and Zak commiserate on how they handled some very big feelings from their teen and near-teen. Lucy worries she has become super cringe, while Zak responded to his eight-year-old as if HE was the eight-year-old. Mentioned in the EpisodeThe FBI Song from the Banna Slug StringbandWorm OhanaI Bought My Kid a Present.
