What Do We Really Want Our Next Baby to be… Boy or Girl?
About this episode
Louise and Ryan discuss their preferences for their next child, parenting challenges, and personal journeys including sobriety and surrogacy.
Louise and Ryan kick things off with a simple question, would they want a boy or a girl next? But their answers reveal something deeper, opening up a conversation about the quiet fears of parenting in a world shaped by the manosphere and everything kids are exposed to online. That leads into screen time, boundaries, and the looming question every parent faces… what happens when your child asks for a phone? Their take might surprise you... Plus, Louise shares why she chose to go sober, and a listener question about surrogacy uncovers something unexpected… was Ryan always sure he wanted kids? 00:00 Intro 00:40 Leo's Challenging Behavior Phase 10:53 What Will Leo Be Like When He Grows Up? 12:00 Do we want a boy or girl next? 12:55 The Manosphere and Raising Respectful Men 17:29 The Fear of Having a daughter 20:26 When Will Leo Get a Phone? 22:55 Screen Time and Parenting Challenges 48:02 Louise's Sobriety Journey 1:00:20 Ryan originally didn't want children 1:02:17 Looking Ahead in our surrogacy journey 🗓 New episodes every Wednesday 📩 We’ve got a NEW email!
