This week is the first week in a two-part series on Parenting Myths! Beliefs about parenting that are generally held to be true, yet are as wrong as wrong can be…and wrong can be pretty wrong! Listen in as the guys discuss Myth #1- Kids should never see their parents argue, and Myth #2- The kids always come first. How can these two be so wrong, when they feel so right? Let’s discuss.
