Welcome back to **Hold My Baby**, the parenting podcast where we love our kids… but also expect them to survive international travel without losing their minds (or ours). In this episode, Erik and Kira take parenting global — literally — with a chaotic **family trip to Japan**, where Eric realizes he is no longer the confident dad… he is now a confused tourist holding Google Translate like it’s a survival tool. We get into: * Traveling internationally with kids and realizing you know NOTHING * Japanese snacks that look cute but might be… questionable * HOLD MY BABY: Why are napkins in Japan the size of a postage stamp? * Tesla vs gas cars (and why parents just want convenience) * Getting detained internationally * And of course… parenting through all of it without losing your mind If you’ve ever traveled with kids and thought *“we are never doing this again”… but then immediately booked another trip*, this episode is for you.
