Moms begins the episode talking about her mental health, and a question she has about communicating with Reader’s therapist. Then we dive into a particularly bad argument made on Alisa Childer’s podcast, and finish up discussing a response in Slate’s Dear Prudence that might have missed some big questions about a kid attending his friend’s church.
Now the links:
Dear Prudence: Help! My Son Wants to Go to Church. Uh, I’m Not Sure I Can Support This. He’s going to be the odd one out. (Apologies if this is behind a paywall. But also, Slate is great, and if you can, it’s worth supporting them for the extra segments on Care and Feeding alone.)
The Family Skeptical: We’re a married atheist couple raising two wonderful, strange children. We ask big questions, dissect weird parenting moments, and examine how society ignores or misrepresents families like ours. If you’re any stripe of non-believer who’s involved in raising children, welcome! You are our people.
Our kids are Reader (11) and Go (9), and if you want to find out how we arrived at these peculiar pseudonyms, go back to Episode 1.
