It's not Festivus, but we've got a lot of problems with you people, and now you're going to hear about them. In reality? We were both fired up about different things and couldn't agree on a topic.

This week we're talking screen time. It's never a battle to give your kids screen time, but it's an absolute war when the screen goes off. We talk about our experiences, and what we've learned over the years that has helped us win more battles over the screens.

In this episode, we discuss leaning into the chaos a little bit, choosing which battles to fight, and controlling what you can control (spoiler: it’s just your emotions).
