Aging & Raging

Welcome to the ep you never knew you needed: Quarantine Game Night!! This week we take a quick break from spiraling /staring into the abyss/ making whips /crying jags/ and laundry and play our version of 20 Questions and Would You Rather. Our bras are off, our souls are crushed, our minds are fried, and we invite you to pull up a lawn chair 6ft away and JOIN US!!! We love you!!

Oh, hey. Still. Here. At. Home. With. Our. Kids. You??? This week we are asking the hard -hitting questions like: is a vaccine coming? Should masks be mandatory? Will there be a second wave? Can I have another whip? Are you watching Normal People? AND HOW MANY KIDS IS THE HARDEST NUMBER IN LOCKDOWN!!? Is it 2 sibs who constantly bicker? 3 kids where one can be left out? Nope. We crunched the math...

Hoooooolllly shit we are still doing this???? Remote learning. Mmm.. ..it was cute 2 months ago, but we are into our second locked -down-with-our family-menstrual cycle now. The kids are over it (those that were ever on board to begin with ), and we are FRIED. Are you a teacher? A parent with school age kids, or today’s current nightmare : BOTH (so sorry Molz). Parents, teachers, kids ...we salute...

Pregnant mamas! The world is ending. Healthcare is a minefield, the economy is a garbage fire and your laundry pile is sky fuckin high. You feelin #blessed yet?? How are you coping with being pregnant right now? Is this your first kid? Your 5th? Is this baby a bright light at the end of a tunnel or the cliff edge you’re suddenly racing toward? or all of the above. If your pregnancy cravings includ...

Hi Mamas. 👋 We’re still out here cooking Three. Meals. A. Day, stuffing our faces with that quarantine trail mix (that we’re not supposed to touch til dark days), and sharing space with husbands who, it turns out, aren’t *as* good at multi-tasking as we are. Tune in to hear our biggest marital blow ups since quarantine began, putting a spotlight on how bitchy the N&C wives can really be. 😬

Momrades! We are back with another corona special and this time we are comin atcha from la cuarentena in Spain. Our friend and special correspondent Bonnie is a Canadian living in Spain with her husband and toddler-she’s been living the quarantine lyfe a little longer than most of us and offers a glimpse into what we might be able to expect as this thing moves across the states. Hint : we will nee...

The sequel is always worse than the original and this ep is no different. It’s Coronavirus II. Last week we were worried our trip to Mexico would be cancelled....my lord what a quaint time. This week, life on earth has been cancelled- but for some reason we still have to make dinner and do laundry. Even the fall of man can’t cancel chores. Thank god for screens, friendship, wine and coffee. Wherev...

This week we discuss what’s on everyone’s minds. The mother fucking corona virus. Yes, the respiratory virus is a health crisis, but being quarantined with your partner and kids is a MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS. The trips have been cancelled, the hands have been washed-ish, we have all the toilet paper. Now all we gotta do is survive being in lock down with the people we love the most. THOUGHTS AND FUCKI...

Hellooooo mamas! This episode is about weekends! Honestly, is there *anything* your kids can’t ruin🧐 You’ve been grinding hard all week and finally it’s the weekend! But wtf does that even mean when you’re a mom? Is it time to catch up on chores, errands, housework, soccer practices and birthday parties?? Or do you say fuckit and let the screen time and cereal roll while you pretend to sleep til...

Death is a part of life. Ugh. As middle aged adults, we can barely talk about it without choking up or shutting down. So what do we say (or not say) when our kids want to talk about death and dying. This week on the mic we muddle our way to some answers that we are using for now, but listeners we would love to hear your thoughts on this heavy topic. And Kate admits to a problem and may need an int...

Hey kids, pack your bags! mama is taking you on a GUILT TRIP! This week we are coming clean about one of our most effed up parenting “strategies,” : laying a guilt trip on our kids. Oh no sweeties, that’s ok. You just carry on wasting mamas time and money, no need to lift a finger around here when I brought you into this world to serve you 24/7!!!!!!!! Does it work: yes. Will it come up in our kid...

Happy Valentines Day to our true loves!!! This episode we hit the romance hard and walk our listeners through planning the perfect honeymoon. Tropical beaches. 5 star resorts. Margs. Stacks of artisanal pancakes by the pool. And not a husband in sight. You read that right: the sister wives of Nursing and Cursing are heading to Mexico for the ultimate girls trip. So leave the lingerie at home and g...

Hey mamas! This week we are talking The Talk. Who told *you * where babies come from? Was it your parents ? Your friends ? An older sibling ? Or did you just figure it out by watching Jerry McQuire and dry humping your 8th grade boyfriend til your Umbros chafed, like a certain Nursing and Cursing host??? How do you talk to your kids about sex and babies??? Check out how we’re breaking the bad news...

What up babes. Every mom is a working mom -whether you get a paycheck for your labors or not. But this week we are talking about what it’s like when your coworkers and /or your supervisor don’t have kids. Do you feel lame or guilty or flustered because you’re trying to keep up? Or do you feel jealous and resentful because they have it so easy and they just don’t get it? Or do you feel proud as fuc...

Hello babes!!! Welcome to a brand new year! A whole nother mother of a decade! This week we bust out our crystal balls and take a look at the next ten years. Where will we be with our kids? Careers? Marriages ? Who will be divorced and who will be in a 3some? Will our teenagers be talking to us or vaping in the basement and giving us the silent treatment ?? And kate plucks a chicken in the first n...

Happy Holidays Listeners! We hope this Holiday Newsletter Episode finds you well! 2019 was a spectacular year for the ladies of Nursing and Cursing! We had tense moments with our in-laws, screaming matches with our toddlers, blow -ups with our husbands! We got new jobs, used cars, and vasectomies for our husbands! Our kids achieved the bare minimum and are still alive to kick our car seats! Join u...

This week we try and work out if we are raising sociopaths or regular kids or yes. It’s bad enough when they destroy your house, refuse dinner, fight with their siblings and try to take down your mental health from sunrise to sunset, but even worse....is hearing from their teachers/babysitters/friends’ parents that they’re......ANGELS. Seriously WTF. Kids be gaslighting us and making us feel CRAZY...

Welcome mamas! In this era of slow, present parenting, we are discussing an unpleasant (and universal?!) reality: parenting rage. This isn’t raising your voice the third time you tell them to put their shoes on, this is Mother Hulk. When anger boils over and moms flip out. Has it ever happened to you? We discuss our most intense rage experiences with our kids. This is the conversation you won’t fi...

Happy Thanksgiving mamas!! This week’s ep is all about family -specifically siblings, and how amazing and insane and loud it can be to raise them. Are you raising siblings? How’s it going ? Are they friends ? Frenimies? How do you deal with the dynamics ? We are totally blowing it. We will take any advice you have. Until next week-may your turkey be moist (ew) and your sweats be forgiving . We are...

School pick up and drop off. What is it that makes it so hellish? The crazy parents ? The crazy kids? The traffic ? The time crunch? The sleeping sibling you gotta haul around ? The fact that that you’re guaranteed to be wearing old blown out pjs the one day you actually have to get out of the car? And 50% of our fails involve a case of mistaken identity. Hmmmm.

Helllo mamas!!! This week we talk about one of our parenting pet peeves : when people in our kids’ lives fill ‘em up with candy and junk food. It makes them hyper, rots their teeth, ruins their appetite-and worst of all -makes it harder for us to bribe them in a real moment of necessity. Listen in an let us know: are we right, or are we uptight? 😘😘
