Turkey, Tantrums & Two-Lane Roads: Surviving Thanksgiving with Kids

Description

In this episode, Anissa & Jess channel full debrief on Thanksgiving like it’s a post-game press conference. We’re talking: traveling with small children who behave like tiny drunk adults, family dynamics that could use a referee, and what it’s really like doing the holidays in the middle of nowhere with two-lane roads and farm vibes.

They get into the real parenting stuff—why positive reinforcement actually works better than yelling, how to survive travel with kids without faking your own death, and why “having it all” during the holidays is usually code for “I cried in the bathroom between courses.”

If you’ve ever tried to juggle nanny search, family expectations, rural living, and tiny humans hopped up on sugar and no sleep, this episode will make you feel wildly seen, slightly attacked, and very much not alone.
