My Kids Cuss More Than I Do
Uh huh, this my sh*t! In this episode, Gwenna and Tori share how they have been handling their kids using curse words. What should you do the first time your kid says “f*ck”? Gwenna (aka MommaCusses) says it’s okay as long as you teach them the 3 criteria to swearing and Tori shares their own boundaries around cussing. Speaking of speaking, they close out the episode by playing a game of Tolderese where they guess what their kids really mean when they say “Luh Lou”.

Are Routines For Me Or My Kids?
Start the timer! In the first episode of Childproof, hosts Gwenna Laithland and Tori Phantom are talking all about parenting – specifically, the things the internet doesn’t tell you about having kids. They start with some tips for new parents – don’t just sleep when they sleep, cry when they cry – and share the secrets they’ve learned for establishing a routine that actually works. Finally, they play a game of Parents Say the Darndest Things, featuring some of the most ridiculous phrases they’ve had to say to their kids. You’d think “don’t lick the baseboards” goes without saying... but you’d be wrong.
