Hold My Baby

Ep 4: Trench Coats, Big Feelings & ‘Not In My House’ Parenting

Episode Summary

This episode starts with a classic Hold My Baby moment: a kid in a full black leather trench coat, gloves, and Terminator sunglasses… in 70-degree Southern California weather. From there, Eric and Chiara spiral (responsibly) into parenting instincts, emo kids, trench coats, “big feelings,” and why some things are simply “not in my house.”

Episode Notes

Welcome back to Hold My Baby, the parenting podcast where instincts kick in, patience runs out, and somebody is always about to fight… politely.

This episode starts with a classic Hold My Baby moment: a kid in a full black leather trench coat, gloves, and Terminator sunglasses… in 70-degree Southern California weather. From there, Eric and Chiara spiral (responsibly) into parenting instincts, emo kids, trench coats, “big feelings,” and why some things are simply “not in my house.”

We also get into:

• When parental intuition overrides “don’t judge”
• The difference between self-expression and warning signs
• Why parents need to do a quick up-and-down before kids leave the house
• Emo phases, theater kids, and The Cure trauma
• Playdates ruined by “big feelings”
• Complaining about cake at a fancy restaurant (a crime)
• How to shut things down outside the restaurant
• Locker room selfies at hot yoga (straight to jail)

If you’ve ever thought “I feel bad… but also absolutely not” — congratulations, this episode is for you.
