In this hilarious podcast segment, we dive into the quirks and challenges of parenting, with a focus on how partners can navigate the journey together. Jamie and Emily reflect on their experiences and the shortcomings of traditional prenatal classes that often sideline partners. They reminisce about teaching their early classes in hospital settings, where the curriculum seemed exclusively tailored to birthing moms, leaving partners feeling like awkward passengers on the parenting ride.

Jamie emphasizes the need for equality in parenting roles and suggests practical ways to include partners. They stress the importance of setting the tone early on by discussing and deciding how to handle various aspects of parenting, such as pediatrician appointments, managing sick kids and sharing responsibilities during the night.

Amidst the laughter, they delve into the broader implications of such decisions, emphasizing the need for partners to share the load and experience the on-the-job training that comes with parenting. They highlight the importance of communication, teamwork, and setting the stage for an equal and supportive partnership in the chaotic world of parenting.
