Welcome back to another episode of Mom O'Clock! We kick things off with the ultimate question: would we parent, discipline, and behave the exact same way if absolutely no one was watching us? From speed-cleaning the house before playdates to playing a sassy game of "Would You Admit This", we confess all of our biggest parenting secrets and shortcut methods. Finally, we wrap up by sharing the things we swore we would absolutely never do as parents- like restaurant screen time and co-sleeping, but now do all the time. Tune in, laugh along with our shenanigans, and don't forget to leave a comment with your own parenting confessions!

Is it Mom O'Clock yet? Heck yeah, it is! Welcome back to another episode, where we are running our mouths about the wild world of toddler discipline and navigating opposite parenting styles. This time we are exploring the daily struggle of trying to stay on the same page with our husbands, especially when they decide 9:00 PM is the perfect time for a Home Depot run and a backyard wood-sawing session right outside the bedroom window. From handling toddler tantrums, biting, and sharing drama to the dreaded "don't tell daddy" secrets, we are laying it all out there. We even rapid-fire how we'd react to kids coloring on the walls, throwing nuggets, or turning a glass table into a permanent Sharpie art project. Spoiler alert: one of us has the patience of a saint, and the other is ready to send the kids to "prison" by age five. We are completely open about our struggles and genuinely want to hear your best parenting hacks, so grab a drink, subscribe, and tell us how you handle the madness in your own house! Mom O'Clock out!

It's the 250th Anniversary of the USA, AND it's our 53rd episode of It's Mom O'Clock, so naturally we had to expose the absolute delusion of having a flawless 4th of July as a mom. We all expect the perfect family aesthetic in matching outfits, but the reality is our toddlers are melting down over broken light-up sticks and we are drugging our panicked dogs instead of ourselves. We also dive into a rapid-fire question round about holiday food because honestly, if you eat potato salad, we cannot be friends. Plus, we are throwing in some cheap mom hacks, like using watercolor paint on seashells, to keep your kids busy so you can actually enjoy your drink. Grab a beverage, tolerate your family, keep your dogs safe from the noise, and have a happy 4th of July!

In this episode, we're talking about the thing nobody prepares you for: bringing a newborn home and realizing motherhood doesn't feel the same for everyone.

One of us felt that instant, overwhelming connection. The other was sitting there wondering why everyone else seemed obsessed while she felt anxious, disconnected, and honestly kind of terrified. We get into postpartum anxiety, C-sections, birth trauma, and the pressure to act like you're immediately living in a diaper-commercial fantasy.

We also talk about how social media has convinced everyone that good moms instantly bond with their babies, and why that's just not true for a lot of women. If your connection took time, if the newborn stage felt hard, or if you've ever felt guilty for not loving every second of motherhood, this episode is for you.

And because we can never stay on one topic for too long, we also get into husband venting, life updates, and what happens when you suddenly have an empty house for the first time in years.

Basically: motherhood is weird, nobody knows what they're doing, and we're talking about all of it. Tune in!!

Father's Day is Sunday, which means it's time for moms everywhere to wander around stores pretending we know what dads actually want. In this episode of It's Mom O'Clock, we hit up DICK'S Sporting Goods and Home Depot to investigate the mysterious world of dad gifts, from golf clubs and jerseys to grills, leaf blowers, and things with way too many buttons. Along the way, we checked out some bags, got distracted by random aisles, and questioned why every dad eventually develops strong opinions about coolers and lawn equipment. We also debate whether a "family gift" is actually a gift for dad or just something everyone ends up using. If you're still trying to figure out what to buy the father figures in your life, consider this your unofficial shopping guide. Come laugh with us while we attempt to crack the dad code.

Grab your iced coffee or your vodka, because it’s Mom O’Clock! This week, Emily and Dom are tackling a major parenting debate: Are sleepovers officially cancelled? After surviving a wild Memorial Day weekend with a 15-person multi-family sleepover and one massive hangover, the girls are getting 100% real about their overnight boundaries.

They take a hilarious trip down memory lane to their own 90s childhood sleepovers, from Dream Phone to sneaking high school boyfriends past strict dads. But when it comes to raising kids today, the vibe is totally different. The hosts dish on why they have major hesitation about sleepovers and how they protect their kids using secret text code words, safety emojis, and early conversations about body autonomy. Plus, they share why they will always fight to be the ultimate "hosting house" so they can keep an eye on everything. It is loud, honest, and very real!

This week, we’re diving into the wild reality of modern parenting and asking the question every mom secretly thinks about: are we protecting our kids… or accidentally turning our homes into full-time surveillance systems? From cameras in every room to a baby monitor and pure trust, we’re breaking down our completely opposite parenting setups and the chaos that comes with both.

We’re sharing insane real-life stories, including a stroller AirTag that exposed a caregiver taking a child somewhere without permission, and a nanny cam that completely cleared a babysitter after a toddler made up a story. We also get into the big debate: when do bedroom cameras cross the line from safety to straight-up invasion of privacy? Plus, our kids will never know the thrill of sneaking out, skipping school, or getting away with literally anything because the cameras always catch everything.

Modern parenting is exhausting, hilarious, and very well documented.
