Mom And Dad Are Fighting | Slate's Parenting Show

On this week’s episode: Dan and Jamilah are live from the Miami Book Fair where they are joined by Pamela Paul, author of How to Raise a Reader and Adam Mansbach, author of Fuck, Now There Are Two of You. This week the hosts discuss scaring their kids with inappropriate books and making the most out of children with different schedules. For Slate Plus, the hosts discuss if parenting really is harder nowadays—or do we just hear more about the trials and tribulations in books, blogs or even, ahem, podcasts… Sign up for Slate Plus here.  Recommendations: Jamilah recommends non-traditional Thanksgiving dinner.  Dan recommends game-ifying Christmas stockings.  Pamela recommends Lucy Knisley’s book You Are New.  Adam recommends the book Laugh Lines: Forty Years Trying to Make Funny People Funnier.
