Ep 25: Sleepaway Camp, Overprotective Parents & Why Girl Scout Cookies Are Trash | Hold My Baby

Welcome back to **Hold My Baby**, the parenting podcast where we love our kids… but we're also pretty sure every parenting decision somehow ends with therapy. This week, Eric and Kira tackle one of parenting's greatest challenges: **summer vacation.** Not the fun kind—the kind where your kids are suddenly home 24/7 asking, *"What are we doing today?"* before you've even had coffee. Things quickly spiral into: * Sleepaway camp horror stories our parents definitely made up * The difference between healthy independence and parental panic * Why modern parents trust absolutely no one * Childhood chores that would get adults canceled today * Eric cleaning toilets for free and being weirdly proud about it * Kira declaring war on Girl Scout cookies If you've ever questioned another parent's decision while simultaneously questioning your own... Congratulations. You're parenting correctly.  #parentingpodcasts #funnyparents #millennialparents #parentinghumor #modernparenting #summercamp #sleepawaycamp #comedypodcast #parentingpodcasts ---  If this episode made you laugh, question your parenting, or immediately inspect the ingredients on everything in your pantry:  👍 Like this episode  💬 Comment: Would you send your kid to sleepaway camp?  🔔 Subscribe so you never miss a new parenting breakdown  📤 Share this episode with the parent who definitely has an opinion about summer camps

Ep 24: Snack Kids, Bad Drivers & Babies Crying in Movie Theaters

Welcome back to **Hold My Baby**, the parenting podcast where we love our kids… but we are genuinely confused about how children survived before protein shakes, electrolyte packets, and emotional support snacks. This episode spirals immediately into: * Why modern kids apparently need snacks every 11 minutes * Kira admitting she may actually BE the problem 😅 * Eric’s immigrant-parent survival techniques * Teaching teenagers to drive while society completely loses its mind * Parents bringing screaming babies into movie theaters * Service dogs the size of actual horses on airplanes Honestly, this episode feels less like a parenting podcast and more like two exhausted adults documenting the collapse of civilization one parking lot at a time. If you’ve ever looked around in public and thought: *“How are these people functioning?”* …this episode is for you. ---  #holdmybaby #parentingpodcasts #funnyparents #millennialparents #parentinghumor #modernparenting #comedypodcast #familylife #baddrivers  --- If this episode made you laugh, judge strangers in public, or reconsider modern parenting entirely: 👍 Like the episode 💬 Comment your biggest parenting “this generation is doomed” moment 🔔 Subscribe so you don’t miss the next parenting breakdown 📤 Share this with a parent who keeps emergency snacks in every pocket Because parenting is hard…but surviving modern society with other parents? ---
