S5 Ep45: New Dick, Who Dis ? Mar 07, 2023

Moms! We missed you! We left you hanging and we are so sorry. One of us had a baby, two of us moved to Florida, and one of us…well. Heads up for the absolute biggest Plot Twerk™️ the thread has ever known. Let’s just say, Kate hasn’t been the only one up all night. 😮‍💨😮‍💨 Listen now to New Dick, Who Dis?

S5 Ep44: FU 2020 Aug 19, 2020

Hi Mamas!!! We miss you so much!!!
This ep is a lil check in/check up and a welcome to our mini season 6 🥳🥳🥳🥳
How was your summer? It’s ok -SAME. If even a mask and 6ft of personal space can’t keep your toddler from somehow being the loudest, closest person in your life, WE UNDERSTAND.
We’re not ok. Somehow there was no summer and there is no school. Just a groundhogs day montage of masks, misery, coffee, wine and zoom. SIGH
And 50 weeks later, Kate is *still* pregnant. And we’re back with some Nails n Fails. All of which are fails. Damn you 2020.

S5 Ep43: Kids Tell All ! Jul 02, 2020

Well mamas, we made it to the season finale of Modern Civilization /Life as We Know It. I mean, the season finale of Nursing and Cursing Season 5. And everything is fine. Totally fine. To celebrate, we are bringing you something brand new : OUR KIDS!! In this episode, we ask the kiddos :is mom cool? What’s this podcast all about ? Does she ever get grumpy ? Some of them gave us the cold hard truth, and others clammed up, scared of retribution. And Sarah coins a phrase that will make her a millionaire, or at least get her fine ass trending on Twitter. Love you mamas so much-what a ride this season has been. See you in the fall! Until then, let’s all manifest a quick and safe delivery for Kate’s babe and A FULLY FUNCTIONAL IRL FALL PLAN 4 SKOOLS!

S5 Ep42: Parenting Conflicts. Jun 25, 2020

Parenting is hard enough when you and your partner agree on things(still waiting for that over here, but whatevs) But what about those parenting issues you just *dont* agree on. From: are the kids developmentally on track, to should we say yes to a bedtime snack? Shit is hard. Do you compromise ? Disagree in front of the kids? Have a low grade hissing fight later? Or shrug and give in ? As usual, We have no idea. And for our loyal listeners, friends and fans, we are sharing some big news at the bottom of this episode. As always, we love you and thanks for the ride of our lives ❤️

S5 Ep41: The NO Zone. Jun 18, 2020

Welcome to the No Zone! Mom, can I ...? Nope. No. Not today. I said no. Don’t ask me again. This is your first warning ....cut to us handing out negative consequences for poor choices all damn day. Anyone else feel like they’re just constantly saying no and taking shit away? Kate calls it normal. Ali calls it violent communication and Molly says she needs to process her past. Same ol same ol around here! And welcome back to fails : we got some damn doozies for you this week. WE LOVE YOU!

S5 Ep40: LET'S LISTEN. Jun 11, 2020

Hey Mamas! This week, Nursing & Cursing is turning our voice OFF and turning ON the voices of Black parents, hosts, educators, authors, scholars, reporters and doctors through podcasts that teach. We’ve compiled a list of other podcasts (and there are so many more) that are helping us stretch and open to new perspectives, voices, ideas, and action steps. Please join us in the learning so we can be better teachers for our babies! Love, Nursing & Cursing

S5 Ep39: Talking to Kids about Racism With Guest Author Jelani Memory Jun 04, 2020

Hi Mamas. Wow. This week has been a painful and powerful reminder that some conversations with our kids are scary and uncomfortable and can’t wait any longer. Yes -we are talking about race and racism. As 5 white moms, we know that we have a true responsibility to help our kids confront and contextualize today’s realities in the hopes that tomorrow can be better and more equal for all. This week, we were honored and excited to welcome author (and FATHER 👋🏻OF👋🏻SIX👋🏻) Jelani Memory to our show. Jelani wrote the book that we all need right now: A Kids Book About Racism. It’s a truthful, simple, warm, and engaging book aimed at younger kids that has been helping us spark honest conversations with our children. We got Jelani’s perspective on today’s unfolding events and why it’s so critical to be having these conversations with our kids over and over again as we help them understand and process the world around them. Then we let this bad ass dad go get his 6 kids to bed 😉.

S5 Ep38: Ready or Not? May 28, 2020

We know we aren’t the only ones trying to be productive parents and make good use of ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL this time at home with our children, right? What’s it gonna be, kid? Losing the training wheels? Potty training? Swimming without your floaties? What do you do when YOU’RE ready for a milestone, but your kid ISN’T? Oh, and get a load of Christine’s fail ... hint: It’s the sequel to kicking the bed.

S5 Ep37: Hide Out or Ride Out ? May 21, 2020

Hey mamas! How you doing this week? We are barely hanging on and so grateful to you for being on the journey with us. This week Kate crowd sources some of life’s big decisions. As a New Yorker with 3 kids and a baby due days before school starts ...what should she do this fall? When she left her house in March she figured she’d be back in 2 weeks and setting up the crib. But things are looking unclear. Should she go back to the city and suck it up? Or stay where she is and accept that this year is gonna look and feel very different from what she imagined ? Help a pregnant sister out.

S5 Ep36: Quarantine Game Night ! May 14, 2020

Welcome to the ep you never knew you needed: Quarantine Game Night!! This week we take a quick break from spiraling /staring into the abyss/ making whips /crying jags/ and laundry and play our version of 20 Questions and Would You Rather. Our bras are off, our souls are crushed, our minds are fried, and we invite you to pull up a lawn chair 6ft away and JOIN US!!! We love you!!

S5 Ep35: Quarantine Lyfe with an Only Child. May 07, 2020

Oh, hey. Still. Here.At.Home.With.Our.Kids. You??? This week we are asking the hard -hitting questions like: is a vaccine coming? Should masks be mandatory? Will there be a second wave? Can I have another whip? Are you watching Normal People? AND HOW MANY KIDS IS THE HARDEST NUMBER IN LOCKDOWN!!? Is it 2 sibs who constantly bicker? 3 kids where one can be left out? Nope. We crunched the math and the hardest number is O N E. Cuz the buck stops with mom for EVERY-FUCKING-THING. Sarah takes us through a day with a full time job and a full time toddler. Phew. Love you mamas-you’re holding up half the sky.

S5 Ep34: FuckIt.Edu Apr 30, 2020

Hoooooolllly shit we are still doing this???? Remote learning. Mmm.. ..it was cute 2 months ago, but we are into our second locked -down-with-our family-menstrual cycle now. The kids are over it (those that were ever on board to begin with ), and we are FRIED. Are you a teacher? A parent with school age kids, or today’s current nightmare : BOTH (so sorry Molz). Parents, teachers, kids ...we salute your efforts but what say we wrap this thing up? See ya in September for a do-over? Cuz mama is about to say some grown up words on your next classroom zoom. And have you guys had whipped coffee yet? Cuz we are chugging it and accomplishing nothing at 90mph.

S5 Ep33: Self Quar Apr 23, 2020

S5 Ep32: Pregnant in Quarantine. Apr 16, 2020

Pregnant mamas! The world is ending. Healthcare is a minefield, the economy is a garbage fire and your laundry pile is sky fuckin high. You feelin #blessed yet?? How are you coping with being pregnant right now? Is this your first kid? Your 5th? Is this baby a bright light at the end of a tunnel or the cliff edge you’re suddenly racing toward? or all of the above. If your pregnancy cravings include some effing alone time and a meal you don’t have to make yourself-we are with you and we get it.

S5 Ep31: Quarreling in Quarantine. Mar 26, 2020

Hi Mamas. 👋 We’re still out here cooking Three. Meals. A. Day, stuffing our faces with that quarantine trail mix (that we’re not supposed to touch til dark days), and sharing space with husbands who, it turns out, aren’t *as* good at multi-tasking as we are. Tune in to hear our biggest marital blow ups since quarantine began, putting a spotlight on how bitchy the N&C wives can really be. 😬

S5 Ep30: Corona Special: La Caurentena in Spain Mar 22, 2020

Momrades! We are back with another corona special and this time we are comin atcha from la cuarentena in Spain. Our friend and special correspondent Bonnie is a Canadian living in Spain with her husband and toddler-she’s been living the quarantine lyfe a little longer than most of us and offers a glimpse into what we might be able to expect as this thing moves across the states. Hint : we will need art supplies and bidets if we are gonna make it. Love you all and here with you always.

S5 Ep29: School's Out Forever. Mar 19, 2020

The sequel is always worse than the original and this ep is no different. It’s Coronavirus II. Last week we were worried our trip to Mexico would be cancelled....my lord what a quaint time. This week, life on earth has been cancelled- but for some reason we still have to make dinner and do laundry. Even the fall of man can’t cancel chores. Thank god for screens, friendship, wine and coffee. Wherever you are we got you. See ya in hell (aka quarantine with da kids).

S5 Ep28: Corona Special Mar 13, 2020

This week we discuss what’s on everyone’s minds. The mother fucking corona virus. Yes, the respiratory virus is a health crisis, but being quarantined with your partner and kids is a MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS. The trips have been cancelled, the hands have been washed-ish, we have all the toilet paper. Now all we gotta do is survive being in lock down with the people we love the most. THOUGHTS AND FUCKIN PRAYERS.

S5 Ep27: It's the Freakin Weekend. Mar 12, 2020

Hellooooo mamas! This episode is about weekends! Honestly, is there *anything* your kids can’t ruin🧐 You’ve been grinding hard all week and finally it’s the weekend! But wtf does that even mean when you’re a mom? Is it time to catch up on chores, errands, housework, soccer practices and birthday parties?? Or do you say fuckit and let the screen time and cereal roll while you pretend to sleep til 9am. Or both?! And what about you and your partner : date night and reconnect after a busy week or nah? Love yous!!

S5 Ep26: Dealing with Death. Mar 05, 2020

Death is a part of life. Ugh. As middle aged adults, we can barely talk about it without choking up or shutting down. So what do we say (or not say) when our kids want to talk about death and dying. This week on the mic we muddle our way to some answers that we are using for now, but listeners we would love to hear your thoughts on this heavy topic. And Kate admits to a problem and may need an intervention.

S5 Ep25: Guilt Trippin. Feb 27, 2020

Hey kids, pack your bags! mama is taking you on a GUILT TRIP! This week we are coming clean about one of our most effed up parenting “strategies,” : laying a guilt trip on our kids. Oh no sweeties, that’s ok. You just carry on wasting mamas time and money, no need to lift a finger around here when I brought you into this world to serve you 24/7!!!!!!!! Does it work: yes. Will it come up in our kids’ future therapy sessions : also yes. Whoops. And Sarah rips one in Zumba ...again!?!

S5 Ep24: Mirror, Mirror. Feb 20, 2020

S5 Ep23: Valentine's Day. Feb 13, 2020

Happy Valentines Day to our true loves!!! This episode we hit the romance hard and walk our listeners through planning the perfect honeymoon. Tropical beaches. 5 star resorts. Margs. Stacks of artisanal pancakes by the pool. And not a husband in sight. You read that right: the sister wives of Nursing and Cursing are heading to Mexico for the ultimate girls trip. So leave the lingerie at home and grab your oversize kaftan, we doing this! Happy Valentine’s Day to our listener sisters ! We love you and we wish we could whisk each of you away on a trip cuz we know you deserve it❤️❤️❤️

S5 Ep22: The Birds and the Bees. Feb 06, 2020

Hey mamas! This week we are talking The Talk. Who told *you * where babies come from? Was it your parents ? Your friends ? An older sibling ? Or did you just figure it out by watching Jerry McQuire and dry humping your 8th grade boyfriend til your Umbros chafed, like a certain Nursing and Cursing host??? How do you talk to your kids about sex and babies??? Check out how we’re breaking the bad news over here!

S5 Ep21: Work Place Blues Jan 30, 2020

What up babes. Every mom is a working mom -whether you get a paycheck for your labors or not. But this week we are talking about what it’s like when your coworkers and /or your supervisor don’t have kids. Do you feel lame or guilty or flustered because you’re trying to keep up? Or do you feel jealous and resentful because they have it so easy and they just don’t get it? Or do you feel proud as fuck that you’re busting your ass and doing so much. Or all of these or none of these. Let us know. We got your back no matter where you at. And Molly finds out that Chipotle is just like space : no one can hear you scream.

S5 Ep19: What Would Nursing & Cursing Do - 2020 Jan 23, 2020

S5 Ep18: Shart Week ! Jan 16, 2020

You know how having kids makes you feel like you have lost control of everything? Your home. Your time. Your body. Your money. Your bowels and bladder. Wait?! What. Yes this week’s episode is all about we can’t hold it anymore. We’re losing our shit. No, literally. Welcome to Shart Week. Your underwear’s not safe.

S5 Ep17: 2020 Vision Jan 09, 2020

Hello babes!!! Welcome to a brand new year! A whole nother mother of a decade! This week we bust out our crystal balls and take a look at the next ten years. Where will we be with our kids? Careers? Marriages ? Who will be divorced and who will be in a 3some? Will our teenagers be talking to us or vaping in the basement and giving us the silent treatment ?? And kate plucks a chicken in the first nail fail of 2020.

S5 Ep16: Winter Break. Dec 26, 2019

S5 Ep15: The Un-Newsletter. Dec 19, 2019

Happy Holidays Listeners! We hope this Holiday Newsletter Episode finds you well! 2019 was a spectacular year for the ladies of Nursing and Cursing! We had tense moments with our in-laws, screaming matches with our toddlers, blow -ups with our husbands! We got new jobs, used cars, and vasectomies for our husbands! Our kids achieved the bare minimum and are still alive to kick our car seats! Join us as we discuss the REAL shit that would go in our holiday newsletters. We love you mamas! Happy holidays !!

S5 Ep14: Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde Dec 12, 2019

This week we try and work out if we are raising sociopaths or regular kids or yes. It’s bad enough when they destroy your house, refuse dinner, fight with their siblings and try to take down your mental health from sunrise to sunset, but even worse....is hearing from their teachers/babysitters/friends’ parents that they’re......ANGELS. Seriously WTF. Kids be gaslighting us and making us feel CRAZY. Listen up and let us know if you got a Dexter type kid like us.

S5 Ep13: Mom Rage. Dec 05, 2019

Welcome mamas! In this era of slow, present parenting, we are discussing an unpleasant (and universal?!) reality: parenting rage. This isn’t raising your voice the third time you tell them to put their shoes on, this is Mother Hulk. When anger boils over and moms flip out. Has it ever happened to you? We discuss our most intense rage experiences with our kids. This is the conversation you won’t find in that Instagram feed of mini me outfits and bento box lunches. We love you and we know it’s hard because ....Despite all this rage, We are still just moms in a cage!

S5 Ep12: Sibling Rivalry. Nov 28, 2019

Happy Thanksgiving mamas!! This week’s ep is all about family -specifically siblings, and how amazing and insane and loud it can be to raise them. Are you raising siblings? How’s it going ? Are they friends ? Frenimies? How do you deal with the dynamics ? We are totally blowing it. We will take any advice you have. Until next week-may your turkey be moist (ew) and your sweats be forgiving . We are grateful for you.

S5 Ep11: Pick Up Line Nov 21, 2019

School pick up and drop off. What is it that makes it so hellish? The crazy parents ? The crazy kids? The traffic ? The time crunch? The sleeping sibling you gotta haul around ? The fact that that you’re guaranteed to be wearing old blown out pjs the one day you actually have to get out of the car? And 50% of our fails involve a case of mistaken identity. Hmmmm.

S5 Ep10: Candy from a Stranger Nov 14, 2019

Helllo mamas!!! This week we talk about one of our parenting pet peeves : when people in our kids’ lives fill ‘em up with candy and junk food. It makes them hyper, rots their teeth, ruins their appetite-and worst of all -makes it harder for us to bribe them in a real moment of necessity. Listen in an let us know: are we right, or are we uptight? 😘😘

S5 Ep9: THE VASECTOMY Nov 07, 2019

Snip snip and we ain’t takin bangs! This week’s episode is all about.... Vasectomies! One of the Nursing & Cursing husbands is gettin fixed-listen in and find out which one. Does your partner have one? Do you wish he did? Or wish he didn’t :/ Know anyone with a vasectomy baby? And do they *really* tell the guys to ice their balls and take two full days of rest?? we are real suspicious. 🧐

S5 Ep8: Tales from the Crib Oct 31, 2019

Happy Halloween Mamas!! Gather round if you dare. This episode features some of our most hair raising moments as mothers. Snakes ! Rats! Pumpkin spice candles! We’ve got it all.... if you’re brave enough to take a listen. Muahahahaha (evil laugh).

S5 Ep7: Nail Biters. Oct 24, 2019

Do you have an anxious kid? A nail biter, a bed wetter, a kid who can’t sleep, who struggles with a change to her surroundings or schedule ? How do you cope and what do you do? This week we talk about how much we worry about our kids worries and how much their anxiety stresses us out. As usual we have more questions than answers. And chrissy shares the most magical fail we have ever heard.

S5 Ep6: GASPING FOR HAIR! Oct 17, 2019

Gasping for Hair. This week’s eps is all about your kid’s hair. Was your baby born with a full head of hair? Bald? Did she grow a toddler mullet?! Does she have the same hair as you? Has she ever cut it herself? Have you?? Does she let you wash or style it? And dude, WHAT .ABOUT. LICE!?! Listen in and help us out. Kate hasn’t brushed mavis’s hair since 2017 and there might be something nesting in it 😬

S5 Ep5: What's Your Favorite Age? Oct 10, 2019

When it comes to raising kids, what’s your favorite age? A snoozy (or screaming?!) newborn? A sleep-trained and smiley 9-month old? Elementary school? Or for those of us at this shit too long, is it tweens or teens?! Or will you be like us, blaming this mess on a “difficult phase” til 2030 and just waiting on the promise of a favorite stage round the next bend 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ This week we weigh up the best and worst of every age. And if the toddler stage is your fave, go ahead and unsubscribe and get yourself some loving professional help. 🥴👍🏻

S5 Ep4: Standing Up for Your Kid . Oct 03, 2019

Hey mamas. How do you feel watching your kids struggle to overcome challenges? How do you know if they’re just frustrated or if they’re truly scared? Should you intervene and help them, or encourage from the sidelines while they work it out? You can’t learn how to ride a bike without falling off a couple times, right? But then what if you break a leg and never get back on😬🤷🏻‍♀️ This week we talk about how confusing it can be to know when to step in and when to step down. Good news is, we have gotten wrong a bunch of times and the kids are *basically* ok. And fails that go on so long Molly is gonna cancel us.

S5 Ep3: Picture Day ! Sep 26, 2019

Hey momarades! This week we are talking about School Picture Day. Do you plan your kid’s lewk and order 72 wallet sizes for everyone you know? Do you let your kid style herself and cherish the authentic moment she is capturing? Or did you fucking forget it’s picture day again and send your kid to school in the shirt she wore yesterday, hair that was washed a week ago and then mean to order prints but totally forget 🙋🏼‍♀️ whatever your picture day style, we got you covered. And so many fails, we need a spin off 🤦‍♀️

Moms, it’s finally 5pm. It’s been a long day, you’ve worked hard. Lets unwind and head to the Witching Hour shall we!? Oh, what’s the the witching hour? Well it’s *just like * happy hour except that instead of beer and LOLs with your friends, it’s inconsolable crying with your baby, mind numbing exhaustion, uncooked food and no end in sight! Yes, this week we dig in to the darkest time of day:the witching hour, which affects children ages 0-12yrs from the hours of 4~12am for roughly 10 months a year. NBD!

S5 Ep1: Season 5 Premiere ! Have We Become Our Parents ?!?!?!?!?!?!?? Sep 12, 2019

Welcome back mamas!! We missed you! We hope that you all had wonderful summers. And if you spent 768 hours preparing to take your kids to the beach only to have them bug you for a snack / a shit /a nap /the iPad as soon as you lathered the reef-safe sunscreen on, WE.FEEL.YOU. This week we ask : are we turning into our parents. GULP. Are we making the same mistakes they did, or making our own brand new mistakes? Both?! What will our kids say about our parenting? Yikes. And as ever, some unforgettable fails. And nails. But duh mostly fails. Welcome to season FIVE!!

S1 Ep71: Speed Aging ! Jun 27, 2019

Me gazing at a photo: Can you believe that was only 2 years ago?!? It feels like a life time ago! She was so young!!! And so cute! She’s grown so much, she’s so much bigger now! I miss that phase! My husband: Oh you lookin at pics of the kids ? Me: Nope. Pics OF MYSELF BEFORE I BEGAN TO SPEED AGE!!!! Seriously WTF. This week we celebrate turning 100 episodes, by discussing how we were just going along aging totally normally, and all of a sudden we are sleep -deprived ancient hags with sagging boobs, hollow eyes, and that’s on a good day. Please don’t tag Roldan + Fields. Thanks for the best season ever mamas! we will miss you this summer! See you in the Fall ❤️❤️❤️

S1 Ep70: WINE NOT ?! Jun 20, 2019

Wine not ?? Pour yourself a refill and listen up. This week we are talking about moms + booze. Do we need it /earn it /deserve it as overwhelmed women looking to take the edge of during our kids’ live-stream, real-time paw patrol plot breakdown, or is something darker going on? And Kate drops some Claritin Jr and gets CRAZY.

S1 Ep69: Oh yea, Father's Day ! Jun 14, 2019

S1 Ep68: Do it Yourself, Kid ! Jun 13, 2019

You know how we lie awake at night and worry that we’re not doing enough for our kids? This week we discuss an alternate truth: we’re doing *way too much* for them. From chores to homework to relationships to activities, are we making this whole childhood gig too easy for them instead of preparing them for the shit show of adulthood?!? As always : it turns out we are doing it wrong. 🙄 and Sarah comes at us with a Wednesday update. 😾

S1 Ep67: iParent Jun 06, 2019

This week we are talking about the tech we can’t live without. We use one app to get around, one to shop, another to shop, one to budget, one to sleep, one to get odd jobs done, one to shop, one to make friends, one to stalk friends, one to shop, and then one to sleep cuz wow all that convenience was stressful af. And so many fails!

S1 Ep66: Husband Self Care May 30, 2019

There are just not enough hours in the day for family, career, rest, relaxation, a 5mile run, hobbies, health, a spin on the stationary bike, therapy, surfing, a chiropractic adjustment, the game, a hot shower, a smoothie, and a score at an estate sale. Unless...unless you’re our husbands. This week we are talking about husband self care. How do these wizards conjure the time for all this guiltless self care?? Hint: what we ask and plan for, they take without hesitation. So which one of us is blowing it , really!? Plus join us for Manners Camp! Molly has the mind game you need to play alllll summer!

Join us for a ride in our disgusting, trashed, vomit-stained, goldfish dust, coffee -cup car nightmares. This week we are talking about our cars after kids. Just like our bodies, our brains, our houses, and our sanity: they’re garbage now. We may be the ones behind the wheel, but these kids are driving us f*ckin crazy. And Sarah fills us in on how Wednesday is doing. We know you’re on the edge of your juice-stained seats.

S1 Ep64: Just Say No ! May 16, 2019

Work, kids, partners, parties, school plays, sports, PTA, recitals, field trips, how much more can you fit on your plate mama? Do you ever say no when you know you just can’t?? Or just can’t even? This week we talk about the awesome power of the hard pass. Because saying no to something that stresses you out is really just saying yes to your own sanity. And Kate drops a fail that will change your life. No really, we still haven’t processed this one.

S1 Ep60: TEETH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Apr 25, 2019

Guys stay with us! This week we are talking about teeth. When it comes to brushing our kids teeth it seems like there are only two options: abuse or neglect. When it comes to our own teeth it seems like there’s only one option: dentures. because we just can’t make it to our regular checkups anymore. Wtf why are teeth so hard.

S1 Ep59: Ali's Birth Story Apr 18, 2019

And Chriddys fail redefines the phrase, “Stoney silence.”

S1 Ep57: Secret Milestones! Mar 21, 2019

Yes, yes it’s wonderful when they first sleep through the night, try solids for the first time, babble mama or take those first wobbly steps. But get real: what are the milestones that really rock your world and make motherhood that much easier? We’re talking using the remote , putting on their shoes, and the holy grail of milestones : wiping their own asses. Plus kate’s epic fail as a helicopter mom on steroids.

S1 Ep56: Birth Control. Mar 14, 2019

Hey mamas, what kind of birth control are you using? The pill? An IUD? Your baby's screams and your building resentment of your partner? We've tried them all! This week we chat about what's worked for us in the past and what we're relying on now. Plus someone let their kid walk around Disney with no shoes and get sick. GUESS WHO? Rhymes with Dolly.

S1 Ep55: Liar Liar Pants on Fire !!! Mar 07, 2019

Ok kids, you want the truth?!? Your artwork sucks, your bedtime story is annoying, if you don’t eat your dinner you won’t actually shrink until you disappear, Santa ain’t real, ditto the Tooth Fairy. Mommy’s phone has plenty of battery but you still can’t watch it, the park is open, but we ain’t going. You need to wear your coat bc I care more about what strangers think of my parenting than your personal preferences, the condom broke, ETC. ETC. See, children? YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH!! And neither can we, which is why we fib to our kids alll day long. Listen up as we tell the truth about all our lies. UGH!

S1 Ep54: Fighting in Front of Your Kids. Feb 28, 2019

When I have kids, I’m gonna feed them organic food, read to them every day, make sure they get plenty of creative stimulation and...slam the door in my husbands face, yell at him at the top of my lungs, go passive aggressively silent, exchange nasty texts, and terrorize the kids with our screaming matches SAID NO MOTHER EVER. And yet. Couples fight. And couples with kids have more to fight about than ever bc this shit is STRESSFUL. This week we are coming clean about fighting in front of kids. Our fuckups and our efforts to improve. But plz let the record reflect: he started it.

S1 Ep53: Guys! What Should I Do? (Part 2) Feb 21, 2019

Guys! What Should I Do? (2nd Edition) :
Surprise! The real moms of Nursing & Cursing don’t know what the eff they’re doing! 👍😃 This week, join us for another round robin discussion and weigh in on some parenting dilemmas we’re having: From the life changing magic of Daniel Tiger, to overnight diaps... Not to spoil it, but “Dig deeper, this too shall pass” will most likely solve all of them.

S1 Ep52: Husbands Tell All ! Feb 14, 2019

V-Day Special! Who let the Dads out?!!? WHOOP WHOOP (its a dad joke, get it?) This week we have some verrrryyy special guests: OUR HUSBANDS! Join us as we discuss what they miss about their pre-baby lives n wives and we ask them the hard hitting questions like: wtf even is wrong with you?!?!? Listen as they come clean with their #nails and #fails. Leave a comment and let us know if we should ask for joint custody for Valentine's Day. omg KIDDING!

S1 Ep51: Extracurriculars. Feb 07, 2019

Extracurriculars, enrichment activities, after school. Whatever you call it, it equals more time and more money. And more signing them up and more dropping them off and more picking them back up and more more MORE. So why do we do it, why do we do music classes and gymnastics and swimming and soccer and a bunch of other extra shit? Is it mom guilt, pressure to keep up, or is it possible one of us is raising the next musical prodigy and just one more piano lesson and his talent will be obvious?!? Plus Molly’s got another gross or fail. DUH.

S1 Ep50: Tits Up ! Jan 31, 2019

Finally , our episode on nursing : from the toe-curling first days, to the emotional clusterfuck of weaning. Did you find nursing to be a pleasure or a pain, or something harder to explain (why does that sound like a Seal song?) Join us as we hand express our nursing highs and lows. Listen up and wean in.

S1 Ep49: Chored to Death. Jan 24, 2019

Hey mamas! Take a break from trying to figure out if those sweat pants spark joy (duh! They do!) and join us as we talk about housework. How much do you do? The bare minimum or do you like a spotless space? Do you stay on top of it, or let things get really bad before you tackle it? Anyone else help out around the house ? Ugh. Would you rather fold and put away a load of laundry every day or give a blow job every day. Why is that so hard to answer. Plus some really gross fails!!

S1 Ep48: BONUS: Introducing Josie & Jonny are Having a Baby (With You!) Jan 18, 2019

S1 Ep47: W.W.N.C.D.? (What Would Nursing & Cursing Do?) Jan 17, 2019

Happy New Year Mamas!!! We missed you. How’s the Whole 30 Keto beach body shakeology dry January Kondo thing going? SAME.
This week we are answering some listeners’ parenting questions. Unfortunately, as usual, we don’t have any answers except : you’re doing great, keep going. 2019 gonna be the year of the #nail. Say it with us. ❤️

S1 Ep46: Moms Make the Holidays Dec 20, 2018

Hey mamas! Beginning with Mary in the manger, moms have literally made the holidays. Without all the mamas cooking and cleaning and shopping and wrapping and decorating and shipping, the holidays wouldn’t be shit. This week we acknowledge how extra hard moms go during the holidays and why. And Ali’s fail is a long and terrible tail ;)

S1 Ep45: Confessions of an Anxious Mother. Dec 13, 2018

It’s mom guilt’s evil twin: anxiety. We don’t know any mom that hasn’t checked to see if they're breathing in the middle of the night, or cut the grapes into grain-size bites, or triple checked the seat belts. But what else do you worry about and why? And how do you stop? This week we touch on our mom fears: the real and the imaginary. And Ali does a cujo in the truck.

S1 Ep44: Screen Time. Dec 06, 2018

I screen, you screen, the kids all scream for ...iSCREENS. Ok this week we are talking about kids and screen time. We know it’s bad, but how bad? And is it just a fact of modern life or can we just say NO? We have special guest Sarah Dunlop, the blogger behind Soemtimes Kids are Dicks helping us figure it out. She took away her kids’ screens for a summer and, well...listen and find out!!!

S1 Ep43: Mom Jeans. Nov 29, 2018

This week’s topic: Mom style. What do you have in your closet that looks great with those saggy boobs and the scowl you’re wearing? We discuss what passes as fashion now that we’re moms. Is it ever ok to wear a thong bikini again? and is a long butt better or worse than a muffin top?? If you do drop off in your pajamas can you brag that your look goes from night to day? And Sarah drops a bomb. ANOTHER ONE.

S1 Ep42: Hashtag Blessed. Nov 22, 2018

Happy Thanksgiving Mamas!!! We are so so so grateful for each other and all of you! And seatbelts and Harry Potter, and water, and employed husbands, and healthy kids, and early bedtimes, and kids who who can wipe and SO MANY OF LIFE’S RICHES. Thank you for listening, may your turkey be tender and your toddler be tame. We love you.

S1 Ep41: The Husband Dilemma Nov 15, 2018

We are fortunate enough to be raising our kids with loving and committed partners, so how come we just want them to get out of our way and let us do things the way we wanna do them!?! This week we are talking about those times when compromise and coparenting are overrated. Come on, mom, you know your way is just better. Or maybe you’re just a psycho control freak, like us 😂🤔😅

S1 Ep40: Not a Vacation ! Nov 08, 2018

Ahh the breeze in your hair, sand between your toes, and the sound of an off-schedule baby screaming bloody murder while his brother whines for the ipad. Welcome to your vacation with kids. This week we dial in on why vacations with kids suck: it's the kids. You can change your location/time zone/outfit but THERE IS NO VACATION FROM MOTHERHOOD. So save your air miles, put paw patrol on again, and slam that marg on your couch. Plus, Sarah drops a BOMB.

S1 Ep39: Back to Work. Nov 01, 2018

Back to work after a baby? Like having a baby is some kind of vacation 😂 . Well, have you gone back to the work force after a baby? When? At 2 months, 3 months, a year, a decade? Or did you become a stay at home mom? Or did you work part time? Or did you work full time from home? Or did you work part time from home? Or did you find a new career? We did. Between the five of us, we have approached working after baby from many angles. But they all have one thing in common: HARD. Listen as we talk about what we did when maternity leave ran out and the bills ran up.

S1 Ep38: Parenting Past 7pm Oct 25, 2018

Omg you guys. This week we tried to record an episode about how hard it is to survive after 7pm. How your patience hits the skids just as the kids go from hard to impossible. I mean, by 7pm mom has been on the clock for 12-13 hours, often longer. For years. Would you want your uber driver or doctor to be on her 14th hour of a 19 hour shift!?! Let’s face it: 7pm-9pm is the child abuse window. And we’ve all been there.

S1 Ep37: CIRCUMCISION???? Oct 18, 2018

Our friend Laura Perlongo is pregnant with her second baby and her first son. Yay! This week we try and help her figure out whether she should have him circumcised or not. And even though the answer seems obvious, whether or not to cut your baby’s foreskin turns out to be as confusing and controversial as whether or not you should cut bangs. Aka: the answer is a simple

Yesnomaybewtf. Join us welcoming Laura to Nursing and Cursing!!!

S1 Ep36: Potty Training Oct 11, 2018

Oh shit...we talkin potty training. Some of us planned it out perfectly and followed a strategy based on love and encouragement. Some of us just reached a breaking point with diapers and house broke our kids like puppies, and some of us called upon the power of Santa and a Christmas miracle to make it happen. What can we say mamas, diapers happen!

S1 Ep35: "BAD MOM" or REAL MOM? Oct 04, 2018

Hey mom. This week we break down the difference between being a “good mom,” and a “bad mom,” and guess what: it’s the same shit show, just a different filter. Plus Chriddy gets a reputation as a stoner and Kate busts a sitter with a problem.
And yes, before you can ask: you’re a good mom. And we got you.

S1 Ep34: Yolo VS. Solo Sep 27, 2018

Mamas!!! You only live once!! You gotta grab life by the labias and say yes! Friends, concerts, parties, trips...GET IT! But we are so tired. We don’t wanna YOLO, we wanna SOLO. Aka we want the house to ourselves, a sweet mystery on PBS and no one’s company but our own. This week we discuss how we wanna spend our precious down time, and Molly cops to a crippling case of FOMO. Listen in as we discuss how we gave up the game and got lame.

S1 Ep33: Christine's Birthday Story : Matilda ! Sep 20, 2018

S1 Ep32: Drop Off Hell. Sep 13, 2018

Moms, we missed you!!! Welcome to season 4! This week is all about Drop Off at day care and school. How can something so right feel so wrong? How many mornings of clinging and wailing are you supposed to deal with before you’re allowed to drink your pumpkin spice latte in peace?!! As usual, we have no clue. But we love you and we are so happy to be back on the mic. This school year we are all about the bidet and the namaste. You read that right.

S1 Ep31: Season Finale : Packing ! Jul 12, 2018

Season Finale ,Mamas!!!

Omg we have soooo much much baggage. And we ain’t talking about how even a commercial about restless leg syndrome can trigger an emotional breakdown and a pint of Ben n Jerry’s. No we are talking about actual literal baggage . Like the kind you have to pack when you go anywhere with kids. And the crippling anxiety about over / under packing. And trying to be organized. And trying to leave your house clean. And trying not to hate your partner when they grab a pair of shorts and a charger and say they’re ready to go. Going places this summer? Listen in as we agonize about packing and traveling with kids. DO NOT CALL IT A VACATION.

S1 Ep30: Naked and Afraid. Jul 05, 2018

momrades. How long do you let your kids see you naked? Let’s face it, between the swearing and the saggy boobs, we are a walking R rated movie, and our kids have front row seats. When should we cover up? After 5, before 15? Before they body shame us with questions about our pubes ? ASAP!? We have no idea. And as usual, in Hawaii all they’re wearing is coconut oil.

S1 Ep29: Money. Jun 28, 2018

Mother can you spare a dime ?

This week we are talking about...money. Are you a saver or a spender or just a regular old-school broke ass parent? How relaxing is talking about money with your partner? Sooooooo fun. Our fave convo after the one about how we never have sex anymore.

Ugh. Motherhood is really fucked up: your vag just gets looser and your budget just gets tighter.

S1 Ep28: CARCATION Jun 21, 2018

Moms know how to make the best of anything. What do driving around looking for parking, sitting in traffic, hanging in the Target lot, or sitting In your car in your driveway, have In common? Without kids, these moments are MINI VACATIONS. Get you an iced mocha and a charged phone and get ready to sit in your car and scroll for a mile on your phone IN PEACE.

S1 Ep27: Would You Rather ..... ? Jun 14, 2018

Would you rather….fold and put away ten loads of laundry or sit in an hour of traffic with a screaming infant ? Let your 3 yr old paint her own nails or your 10 year old dye her own hair? Fly solo with your kids or give your husband a hand job a day? IMPOSSIBLE CHOICES. Listen up, as we play would you rather, the mama edition. And join us for the #blowjobchallenge.

S1 Ep25: Self Care. May 31, 2018

When was the last time you prioritized yourself? As in: made it to a doctor’s appointment at the first sign of sickness or injury? Took a shower when you needed one rather than when you could find 4 mins where no one would miss you? Exercised when you wanted to? Ate something other than sandwich crusts or cold chicken nuggets? Took the space to rest when you needed it ? Waxed your ass? We are talking about self care. Better known to moms as Don’t Worry about Me,I’m Fine.

S1 Ep21: Pets. May 24, 2018

Ok, so they’re sweet and affectionate and loyal, but you also need to clean up their shit. what’s the point of .... husbands, sorry we mean PETS. This week we come to terms with pets after kids: how many things can one mom take care of? Does your kid need a childhood pet to become a kind and caring person? It’s the dog's fault the dad on This is Us died. We rest our case.

S1 Ep24: Morning Routine. May 17, 2018

No sooner have you bribed, threatened, begged, pleaded for your little angels to go the eff to sleep, it’s time to get up and do the morning routine: get dressed, make lunches, pack bags, and get out the door to school + work with dragging, whiny kids. How come they’re never this tired on a Saturday morning ? Holy shit, the mornings are such a mess it’s almost enough to make us want to homeschool. almost

S1 Ep23: Secret Mamma. May 10, 2018

What does the perfect Mother’s Day look like for you? Are you sleeping in? Eating out? Hopping a private jet for Alabama and watching Dawson’s Creek reruns? Who loves and cherishes you and can plan the perfect day for you??? No, not him. Nope, not them either. YOUR BFFS OF COURSE. This episode we play a lil game of “Secret Mama,” and take turns planning and imagining the perfect Mother’s Day for each other. Happy Mother’s Day to our Momrades in Arms. We love ya.

S1 Ep22: Free Princess Kate ! May 03, 2018

Heels, hose, a dress, a blowout, and a photo shoot in front of entire world 7 hours after giving birth to an 8+lb baby. Is this badass or dumbass? Is Princess Kate the ultimate symbol of digging deep female power, or is she like the rest of us: a mom with a shitty job and crappy maternity leave?!? Well we all saw the Crown and we all have babies, so we obvs the experts here!

S1 Ep20: Waitlisted. Apr 26, 2018

This week we are talking about getting our kids into school. From daycare to preschool to middle school, we are facing more rejections and waitlists than that time we got a 1 on the SAT and had to re-evaluate our college choices and career dreams.

S1 Ep19: You asked for it! Apr 19, 2018

Momrades!!! You’ve got questions and we’ve got …usually more questions. This week we took parenting questions and personal questions from listeners. We pretty much had no answers for the parenting ones, but between all of us, we were basically able to remember Christine’s nickname. Sorry we can’t help with your kid’s hunger strike, but we love ya!!!

S1 Ep18: Other People's Pregnancies. Apr 12, 2018

This week we are talking about Other People’s Pregnancies. Why do they seem shorter / cuter/ more radiant than our own?

S1 Ep17: Mom Friends. Apr 05, 2018

Behind every mother....is another mother. Your kid can’t remember what his homework is? Need a last minute Halloween costume for your someone who suddenly hates what he wanted to be yesterday? Don’t have anything to send for class breakfast? Have a meeting at the same time as pickup? Need to vent about visiting family? Cry about your deepest parenting fears? Who do you call? Hint: ITS NOT YOUR PARTNER. It’s your mom friends. Those ladies in the trenches with you. Leave no mom behind!

S1 Ep16: Timesavers. Mar 29, 2018

Hey Momrades!
What’s a mom’s most important resource ? Coffee? wine? Birth control? Delivery? Name of a great sitter? NOPE! It’s...time. No matter what, there’s never enough of it. This week we are chit chatting about what we do to save time. Some are obvious: we haven’t had a shower since 2014. And some are a little more brilliant ....and some are basically child abuse, but we won’t tell if you don’t!

S1 Ep15: Did I Have Postpartum Depression? Mar 22, 2018

Mamas, how did you feel after your babies were born? This week we are talking about how we felt ...we felt like shit. We cried, we screamed, we panicked, we scared our husbands and freaked out our neighbors. Is this normal!?! What is normal when you’re talking about postpartum feelings? We don’t know how you should feel, but this week we are getting REAL about how it was for us. It. Was. Hard.

S1 Ep14: Guys ! What Should I do? Mar 15, 2018

S1 Ep13: NOT MY DEPARTMENT. Mar 08, 2018

Hey Momrades! what are you responsible for? Omg just kidding we know the answer to that (every-effing-thing). Maybe this is an easier question: is there ANYTHING you’re NOT responsible for?!? Anything that’s
NOT YOUR DEPARTMENT? Anything that your partner knows is automatically their problem? This week we are talking about where we draw the line, if we do at all 😳

It’s 5:15pm. You’re all hungry and tired, but the sink is full of breakfast dishes and the fridge is empty. you know what sounds good? A glass of wine while the kids color the kiddie menu and you order $5.99 chicken tenders and fries while you and your partner catch up on your day...cut to: the kids are screaming and shrieking so you give them your phone, they knock over the drinks, no one touches the food, you’ve never been so flustered and it costs $96.55. This week we are talking dining out with kids. Better get that grilled cheese to go, Mom.

S1 Ep11: HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE DONE? Feb 22, 2018

How many kids should you have? There’s the number you want, the number your partner wants, the number your saggy boobs want, the number you can afford, and the space you have at home. Why hasn’t someone made an app for this!?! Seriously tho, how do you know when you’re done having kids? This episode is all about answering that question. Leave a comment and let us know if kate should have one more?!

You poor thing.

Names Aug 26, 2017

Names are just like assholes. Everyone has one (Actually babies are just like assholes too, but that's another ep). How did you pick your baby's name? Was it a name you have been sitting on since grade school, just waiting and waiting to use on your very own real life Baby Alive ? Or did you use a family name? Or a baby name book? Or an app?! Or did you steal it from a friend (it's ok, we won't tell). And did your partner have a say, or nah? This ep we talk about what goes into naming your newborn. But for real, it's never ok to joke about a baby's name, Roger that?

Your 3 year old is lying on the floor screaming his head off for no/every reason.

Well, that all depends who is watching, of course!! This episode is all about parenting in public vs parenting in private.

Listen to this episode in the doctors office while your pediatrician runs that strep test....(spoiler alert: it's positive).
