This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things

Kelsey Wharton and Erica Ladd
About this episode

We join the chorus of parents everywhere as we declare, "This is why we can't have nice things!" From furniture to travel to eating out and more, we share the nice things we can't have. Plus, how to set reasonable expectations so that we can have some nice things.

Just for Friends of the Show on Patreon, we ask another age-old parenting question: "Can we just not?"
