Description
Not Right Now is a podcast for parents navigating the impossible task of raising kids while *gestures wildly at everything*.
Join Quinn Emmett (Important Not Important) and Claire Zulkey (Evil Witches) for honest conversations about parenting in an era of climate change, artificial intelligence, social media anxiety, all while trying to get your kid to just please put on their shoes.
From discussing how to talk to kids about the news without traumatizing them (or yourself), to debating the right age for a phone, to admitting that sometimes the best parenting happens when you're hiding in the pantry eating handfuls of trail mix for dinner- Quinn and Claire bring humor, empathy, and real talk to the wild adventure of raising tiny humans in these chaotic times.
Because being a good parent doesn't mean having all the answers - it means figuring it out together, one "not right now" at a time.
New episodes every Thursday. A show that understands both the deep love and daily chaos of modern parenting.

This week, Quinn and Claire talk about first crushes, school dances, bloody noses, and other horrors of middle school before getting into why youth sports are dying across the US, especially because coaches make no money while dealing with our asshole kids, so yes, they do deserve a Target gift card at the very least.Also discussed: sleeping (badly), mandatory attendance policies, the art of letting your kid navigate social terrors on their own timeline, and more.-----------Have feedback or questions?

This week, we have Meghan Keane Graham and Mark Graham on the show to chat about their podcast, Back In My Day, where they watch movies from when they were 12 and force their kids (ages 12 and 9) to discuss them. We discuss: movies that don't hold up, what to do when your kids hate a movie that was very formative for you, when to introduce your kids to John Hughes movies, springing on your kids that they have to do skating lessons (at bedtime, perfect), and how Billy Madison peeing his pants is actually great parenting advice.-----------Have feedback or questions?

This week we're talking about the delicate art of making everything toxic for your children (Whole Foods? Ruined. Florida? The worst. Every public figure? Probably a Nazi.), how to tell kids bad news on their level ("Grandma is cooked"), and whether you're still a trad wife if you do all the trad wife things but hate it.Also: the polar vortex, Apollo 13 family rankings, and our ability to be a bummer about anything.-----------Have feedback or questions?

This week it's just Quinn and Claire on the pod, crashing out over academic probation (which is actually kind of a relief?), school surveillance that catches kids Googling inappropriate things (it was obviously just a prank, dad), and the theoretical question: who would you get in a suicide capsule with? Also discussed: cat allergies are real despite what cat people tell you, being in the sandwich generation, and our favorite Spice Girls.-----------Have feedback or questions?

This week we have fiction writer and mom to one amazing 10-year-old, Joy Netanya Thompson, on the pod to discuss why she chose to stick with having just one kid. Joy gets real about postpartum depression, the decision to stop at one when she never imagined she'd only have one child, and why people need to stop asking invasive questions about family size.

This week: We won a podcast award! And now we're immediately spiraling into existential conversations about where we seek approval, why we need it, and how it's completely different (and weirdly the same) for our kids. We're talking about the Eldest Daughter pressure to be in the top 20 in a class of 600, setting "the floor" for your kids' behavior, the implicit contract of putting your art/work/self out there to be judged, and how approval-seeking changes from explicit to implicit.-----------Have feedback or questions?

This week, Claire and Quinn discuss the very normal things like getting back into shape (this time it's happening!), anniversary celebrations that peak at the cheese plate, and whether a C-minus in social studies is actually a problem.

After catching up on the weekend's chaos (signing up to be toilet papered, progressive dinner parties, and dads of preteens who've apparently never heard of Snapchat), Quinn and Claire discuss the never-ending battle that is feeding your children, your spouse, and yourself. Topics on the table include the myth of meal planning, Claire's vendetta against Taco Tuesday, bell peppers as the "am I feeling rich today?" indicator, Quinn's vegan chili (it's good, he promises!), and free (or not) school lunches.-----------Have feedback or questions?

We're back!This week, Claire and Quinn are crashing out over back-to-school chaos (music class that your kid swears they aren't supposed to practice for, curriculum night avoidance, and late start mornings), the cognitive labor of being the "superhuman" parent vs. "the bumbler", dealing with your stubborn Boomer parents, and their current survival strategies (from hiring a scheduling assistant to taking two gummies in the closet because it's a an EMERGENCY) amid a news cycle that just won't stop (media literacy is the new first aid). -----------Have feedback or questions?

This week, Claire and Quinn tackle the brutal summer heat while diving into the complexities of maintaining a relationship with your co-parent.

This week, Quinn returns from an epic family trip to Alaska with stories of whales, glaciers, and kids who packed two socks for a week-long adventure. But as always, the conversation happens when they get home: dealing with post-vacation lows, kids who think bobbleheads grow on trees, and the daily mental load of parenting through everything else. Trigger Warning: This episode includes candid discussions about thoughts of escape, mental health struggles, and parental overwhelm.

They explore how childcare standards change from first kid (extensive vetting) to third kid (you haven't murdered recently), the impossible summer camp lottery system, and why sometimes a random college student willing to be a "play robot" is an essential worker.-----------Have feedback or questions?

Topics include when your anti-gun household meets the school rummage sale Nerf gun haul, teaching empathy vs. performative wokeness, the privilege and burden of school parent organizations, why showing up to volunteer isn't always helpful (and when it is), and a list of some of the most effective charities out there.-----------Have feedback or questions?
