Description

There's a popular belief in our culture today that having kids is hard, a burden, and a sure way to lose your independence. In short, having kids is a quick path to being unhappy in the mind of the culture, and if something doesn't make you happy, it's not worth pursuing. But is this idea true? Many of you parents out there would likely answer: No! In this episode, Brett and Erin react and respond to recent comments made by Gen Z pop singer Chappell Roan about how she doesn't know any parents who are happy.
