Today marks 6 months since our very first episode ever aired AND it’s National Only Child Day! To top it all off, it’s episode 26 - Jess’s lucky number. In this episode, we bring humor, good spirits, and words of affirmation to our listeners’ advice, emails, and questions.
We received a ton of responses to last weeks’ questions and will be spreading out the answers over the next few episodes. We read many of your strategies on dealing with intrusive questions people ask about your family size and discuss which ones we would and wouldn’t try ourselves.
Another listener wrote in about their thought process surrounding adoption or fostering, and we wonder if any of our other listeners out there are making this decision or have already come to a conclusion one way or the other. Someone else writes in wondering if other people take others’ opinions personally or let them go without giving it too much thought.
This week’s questions:
- Parents with one child, have you ever considered foster care or adoption?
- Do you take other people’s input or criticisms seriously, or are you able to move on quickly and easily when confronted about having an only child?
Feel free to write in about anything you want, each week we will be taking questions or stories on a wider range of topics so that everyone’s voices can be heard.
Email us at onlyyoupod@gmail.com if you have thoughts on these questions or find us on Instagram or Facebook to be a part of the conversation.
Starting in April, we will be launching a book club!
