About this episode

Stephanie and Melissa discuss the challenges of getting kids ready in the morning, sharing humorous anecdotes and insights.

Good morning! This one's for anyone who knows the often-fresh hell of having to get a kid ready in the morning. It's also for the former kids. So I guess, this one's for everyone! This week, Stephanie and Melissa tackle the chaos of getting kids ready ("Why is no one readyyyy?" - Miranda Priestly). Join our girlies as they discuss the wild world of putting orange juice in cereal, tantrums, charts and cold Pop-Tarts eaten at the bus stop. Leave this episode with this nugget of wisdom from Mel's free-wheeling son: "F*ck your chart, that chart can't tell me how to live my life." You go, little man.
