This week on Have Kids, They Said, Nicole is joined by a very special guest, Sara, aka Rich’s better half, who steps in while he’s out.
The episode kicks off with birthday madness: Are kids' gift expectations getting totally out of hand? Nicole and Sara weigh in with personal stories, including Nicole’s hilarious (and slightly terrifying) tale of why 3-year-old Parker escaped from a hibachi restaurant.
The duo also dives into the struggle of convincing their daughters that they are still cool. (Legitimately. Probably. Maybe?) They discuss the etiquette and practicality of gift registries, both for birthdays and housewarmings: helpful or too much?
Weekend sports get the spotlight next, with both moms discussing their roles on the sidelines...Are you a full-on Mama Bear when your kid is in the game? Or more of a Zen Zone cheerleader?
Things get real when Sara introduces the world of Black Shower Girl Tok (check out the creators' handles below!) and insists everyone join immediately. That spirals into some next-level oversharing (yes, from both of them), childhood flashbacks, and Emmy’s questions that lead to a few stories from Nicole and Sara’s teenage past.
🖤 Spotlight on Black Girl Shower Tok
As Sara mentioned in today’s episode, Black Girl Shower Tok is something we all need in our lives...right now. It’s about self-care, all shared by talented Black creators who bring authenticity and creativity to your scroll.
