Season 2 episode 97: Was this dad an asshole?

A Blonde A Brunette and a Mic

Have you ever found yourself stranded in a snowstorm, wrestling with car chains, and wondering if the holidays are more hassle than joy? Join us as we, Michele and Julee, crack open a couple of cold ones and laugh our way through the holiday hustle. We swap stories about our not-so-graceful encounters with snowy mountain passes, swapping tales of holiday decorations, and the unexpected charm of a treehouse Airbnb. Our conversation spins a humorous web, balancing the chaos and warmth the festive season brings, making it clear that even the most challenging travel stories have a silver lining of adventure and laughter.
On a more serious note, family gatherings often bring about the age-old question: how do we handle political disagreements? Especially when those disagreements come from our nearest and dearest? In this thoughtful segment, we explore the intricate dynamics of family relationships, particularly when differing political views come into play. We discuss the challenges of respecting our adult children's choices—even when they clash with our own values—and the complexities of parenting as the kids grow up. From discussing lifestyle choices to political debates, we invite you to reflect on the balance between independence and influence in family relationships.
