Bad Examples w/ Tracy DiMarco & Jessica Romano

Alan’s back, and between the three of us we’re covering every stage of parenting, from babies to tweens. We’re all navigating completely different kinds of fun: tantrums, attitude, growing independence, and everything in between. We don’t have the answers, but we do have plenty of opinions, questionable advice, and stories that prove one thing: no matter how old your kids are, every stage comes wi...

Encore: This week we’re replaying one of our favorite episodes: the one where Jess reveals to Tracy that she’s pregnant with Domenica in the most Bad Examples way possible.

Whether you’re listening for the first time or coming back for a replay, we...

This week, Tracy & Jess are asking the question every parent eventually asks themselves: are the kids okay… or are we the problem?

A year into life with baby Cora, we sit down with Alan and Rachel to talk about what that year of parenthood really looks like. Work-life balance, breastfeeding, sleep deprivation, and questionable sanity. No one has it figured out… not even our Baddie Daddie.

It’s official. Tray and J are UNCS. In her desperate attempt to score cool points, Jess gets humbled by our Gen Alpha callers.
