Hold My Baby

Ep 11: ChatGPT Parenting, Dumb Dad Movie Tropes & Braggy Parents

Episode Summary

Welcome back to **Hold My Baby**, the parenting podcast where we’re raising children, enforcing rules, and quietly wondering why we’re the only ones paying attention. In this episode, Erik and Kira break down the real family hierarchy: Who’s actually in charge? Who’s the sheriff? Who doesn’t even know the dentist’s name? And why does Hollywood insist dads are one step away from burning the house down? Things spiral beautifully into: * Parenting roles: regional manager vs part-time supervisor * Hollywood dads being unrealistically helpless * Kids using AI to cheat smarter, not harder * The nightmare of Chromebooks + YouTube Shorts at school * HOLD MY BABY: braggadocious parents who can’t stop one-upping * The reverse-psychology compliment strategy to humble them If you’ve ever wanted to say “please stop talking” at a school pickup… welcome home.
