Mom And Dad Are Fighting | Slate's Parenting Show

On this week’s episode: Dan and Jamilah are joined by Emily Farranto to answer a question from a listener who works with kids and is thinking about having her own. Is constant contact with kids overwhelming? We also have a question from a mom whose son was hospitalized at 4 months after getting sick. But now her husband’s germaphobia is making daily life difficult. For Slate Plus: what forgotten historical figures would make the best costumes? Slate Plus members get a bonus segment on MADAF each week, and no ads. Sign up now to listen and support our work. Recommendations: Jamilah recommends preordering the picture book Who Will You Be? by Andrea Pippins. Dan recommends Love Letter, a fun, fast card game great for two to four people.   Emily recommends Cowboy Magic, a concentrated hair detangler great for horses...and HUMANS!   Join us on Facebook and email us at momanddad@slate.com to ask us new questions, tell us what you thought of today’s show, and give us ideas for what we should talk about in future
