Nursing And Cursing

Oh shit...we talkin potty training. Some of us planned it out perfectly and followed a strategy based on love and encouragement. Some of us just reached a breaking point with diapers and house broke our kids like puppies, and some of us called upon the power of Santa and a Christmas miracle to make it happen.  What can we say mamas, diapers happen! #pottytraining #nursingandcursing #nursingandcursingpodcast #momsofinstagram #momsofig #grittyparenting #motherhoodpluggedin #flashesofreallife #parenting #momlife #honestparenting #nailingit #failingit #nursing #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #raisingkids #birth

Hey mom. This week we break down the difference between being a “good mom,” and a “bad mom,” and guess what: it’s the same shit show, just a different filter. Plus Chriddy gets a reputation as a stoner and Kate busts a sitter with a problem. And yes, before you can ask: you’re a good mom. And we got you. #nursingandcursing #nursingandcursingpodcast #momsofinstagram #momsofig #grittyparenting #motherhoodpluggedin #flashesofreallife #parenting #momlife #honestparenting #nailingit #failingit #nursing #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #raisingkids #birth

Mamas!!! You only live once!! You gotta grab life by the labias and say yes! Friends, concerts, parties, trips...GET IT!  But we are so tired. We don’t wanna YOLO, we wanna SOLO. Aka we want the house to ourselves, a sweet mystery on PBS  and no one’s company but our own. This week we discuss how we wanna spend our precious down time, and Molly cops to a crippling case of FOMO.  Listen in as we discuss how we gave up the game and got lame. #nursingandcursing #nursingandcursingpodcast #momsofinstagram #momsofig #grittyparenting #motherhoodpluggedin #flashesofreallife #parenting #momlife #honestparenting #nailingit #failingit #nursing #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #raisingkids #birth #yolo #solo #fomo #momsnightout

Christine is highly efficient, badass, and deeply judgmental of her husbands’s clothing choices. Why would it be any different when she’s in labor?? Listen up as Christine tells us about the speedy af arrival of her second baby. And yes, Sarah talks about her toilet /bidet again. #nursingandcursing #nursingandcursingpodcast #momsofinstagram #momsofig #grittyparenting #motherhoodpluggedin #flashesofreallife #parenting #momlife #honestparenting #nailingit #failingit #nursing #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #raisingkids #birth #birthstory

Moms, we missed you!!! Welcome to season 4! This week is all about Drop Off at day care and school. How can something so right feel so wrong? How many mornings of clinging and wailing are you supposed to deal with before you’re allowed to drink your pumpkin spice latte in peace?!! As usual, we have no clue. But we love you and we are so happy to be back on the mic.  This school year we are all about the bidet and the namaste. You read that right. #nursingandcursing #nursingandcursingpodcast #momsofinstagram #momsofig #grittyparenting #motherhoodpluggedin #flashesofreallife #parenting #momlife #honestparenting #nailingit #failingit #nursing #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #raisingkids #birth #dropoff #school

Season Finale ,Mamas!!! Omg we have soooo much much baggage. And we ain’t talking about how even a commercial about restless leg syndrome can trigger an emotional breakdown and a pint of Ben n Jerry’s. No we are talking about actual literal baggage . Like the kind you have to pack when you go anywhere with kids. And the crippling anxiety about over / under packing. And trying to be organized. And trying to leave your house clean. And trying not to hate your partner when they grab a pair of shorts and a charger and say they’re ready to go. Going places this summer? Listen in as we agonize about packing and traveling with kids. DO NOT CALL IT A VACATION. #nursingandcursing #nursingandcursingpodcast #momsofinstagram #momsofig #grittyparenting #motherhoodpluggedin #flashesofreallife #parenting #momlife #honestparenting #nailingit #failingit #nursing #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #raisingkids #packing #summer #vacation

momrades. How long do you let your kids see you naked? Let’s face it, between the swearing and the saggy boobs, we are a walking R rated movie, and our kids have front row seats. When should we cover up? After 5, before 15? Before they body shame us with questions about our pubes ? ASAP!? We have no idea. And as usual, in Hawaii all they’re wearing is coconut oil.

Mother can you spare a dime ? This week we are talking about...money.  Are you a saver or a spender or just a regular old-school broke ass parent? How relaxing is talking about money with your partner? Sooooooo fun. Our fave convo after the one about how we never have sex anymore. Ugh. Motherhood is really fucked up: your vag just gets looser and your budget just gets tighter. #nursingandcursing #nursingandcursingpodcast #momsofinstagram #momsofig #grittyparenting #motherhoodpluggedin #flashesofreallife #parenting #momlife #honestparenting #nailingit #failingit #nursing #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #raisingkids #birth #money

Moms know how to make the best of anything.  What do driving around looking for parking, sitting in traffic, hanging in the Target lot, or sitting In your car in your driveway, have In common? Without kids, these moments are MINI VACATIONS. Get you an iced mocha and a charged phone and get ready to sit in your car and scroll for a mile on your phone IN PEACE. Welcome to your car-cation, baby. #nursingandcursing #nursingandcursingpodcast #momsofinstagram #momsofig #grittyparenting #motherhoodpluggedin #flashesofreallife #parenting #momlife #honestparenting #nailingit #failingit #nursing #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #raisingkids #birth #carcation

Would you rather….fold and put away ten loads of laundry or sit in an hour of traffic with a screaming infant ? Let your 3 yr old paint her own nails or your 10 year old dye her own hair? Fly solo with your kids or give your husband a hand job a day? IMPOSSIBLE CHOICES. Listen up, as we play would you rather, the mama edition. And join us for the #blowjobchallenge. We start….”tomorrow.” #nursingandcursing #nursingandcursingpodcast #momsofinstagram #momsofig #grittyparenting #motherhoodpluggedin #flashesofreallife #parenting #momlife #honestparenting #nailingit #failingit #nursing #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #raisingkids #birth

When was the last time you prioritized yourself? As in: made it to a doctor’s appointment at the first sign of sickness or injury? Took a shower when you needed one rather than when you could find 4 mins where no one would miss you? Exercised when you wanted to? Ate something other than sandwich crusts or cold chicken nuggets? Took the space to rest when you needed it ?  Waxed your ass? We are talking about self care. Better known to moms as Don’t Worry about Me,I’m Fine.  #nursingandcursing #nursingandcursingpodcast #momsofinstagram #momsofig #grittyparenting #motherhoodpluggedin #flashesofreallife #parenting #momlife #honestparenting #nailingit #failingit #nursing #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #raisingkids #birth #selfcare

Ok, so they’re sweet and affectionate and loyal, but you also need to clean up their shit. what’s the point of .... husbands, sorry we mean PETS. This week we come to terms with pets after kids: how many things can one mom take care of?  Does your kid need a childhood pet to become a kind and caring person? It’s the dog's fault the dad on This is Us died.  We rest our case. #nursingandcursing #nursingandcursingpodcast #momsofinstagram #momsofig #grittyparenting #motherhoodpluggedin #flashesofreallife #parenting #momlife #honestparenting #nailingit #failingit #nursing #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #raisingkids #birth #pets

No sooner have you bribed, threatened, begged, pleaded for your little angels to go the eff to sleep, it’s time to get up and do the morning routine: get dressed, make lunches, pack bags, and get out the door to school + work with dragging, whiny kids. How come they’re never this tired on a Saturday morning ? Holy shit, the mornings are such a mess it’s almost enough to make us want to homeschool. almost #nursingandcursing #nursingandcursingpodcast #momsofinstagram #momsofig #grittyparenting #motherhoodpluggedin #flashesofreallife #parenting #momlife #honestparenting #nailingit #failingit #nursing #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #raisingkids #birth #morningroutine

What does the perfect Mother’s Day look like for you? Are you sleeping in? Eating out? Hopping a private jet for Alabama and watching Dawson’s Creek reruns? Who loves and cherishes you and can plan the perfect day for you??? No, not him. Nope, not them either. YOUR BFFS OF COURSE. This episode we play a lil game of “Secret Mama,” and take turns planning and imagining the perfect Mother’s Day for each other. Happy Mother’s Day to our Momrades in Arms. We love ya. #nursingandcursing #nursingandcursingpodcast #momsofinstagram #momsofig #grittyparenting #motherhoodpluggedin #flashesofreallife #parenting #momlife #honestparenting #nailingit #failingit #nursing #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #raisingkids #birth #moms #mothersday

Heels, hose, a dress, a blowout, and a photo shoot in front of entire world  7 hours after giving birth to an 8+lb baby. Is this badass or dumbass? Is Princess Kate the ultimate symbol of digging deep female power, or is she like the rest of us: a mom with a shitty job and crappy maternity leave?!? Well we all saw the Crown and we all have babies, so we obvs the experts here! #nursingandcursing #nursingandcursingpodcast #momsofinstagram #momsofig #grittyparenting #motherhoodpluggedin #flashesofreallife #parenting #momlife #honestparenting #nailingit #failingit #nursing #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #raisingkids #birth #katemiddleton #princesskate

This week we are talking about getting our kids into school. From daycare to preschool to middle school, we are facing more rejections and waitlists than that time we got a 1 on the SAT and had to re-evaluate our college choices and career dreams. What gives?!?! Oh well, dunno much about skool, but we sure got class! Plus our best #Fail of all time. #nursingandcursing #nursingandcursingpodcast #momsofinstagram #momsofig #grittyparenting #motherhoodpluggedin #flashesofreallife #parenting #momlife #honestparenting #nailingit #failingit #nursing #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #raisingkids #birth #school #preschool #elementaryschool #publicschool #privateschool #waitlist

Momrades!!! You’ve got questions and we’ve got …usually more questions. This week we took parenting questions and personal questions from listeners. We pretty much had no answers for the parenting ones, but between all of us, we were basically able to remember Christine’s nickname. Sorry we can’t help with your kid’s hunger strike, but we love ya!!! #nursingandcursing #nursingandcursingpodcast #momsofinstagram #momsofig #grittyparenting #motherhoodpluggedin #flashesofreallife #parenting #momlife #honestparenting #nailingit #failingit #nursing #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #raisingkids #birth

This week we are talking about Other People’s Pregnancies. Why do they seem shorter / cuter/ more radiant than our own? But really this episode is about Molly and Kate putting their decades old friendship to the test : listen in to our most tense conversation yet. #imgonnaattackyou #aretheystillfriends #didtheymakeup #nursingandcursing #nursingandcursingpodcast #momsofinstagram #momsofig #grittyparenting #motherhoodpluggedin #flashesofreallife #parenting #momlife #honestparenting #nailingit #failingit #nursing #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #raisingkids #birth #pregnancy

Behind every mother....is another mother. Your kid can’t remember what his  homework is? Need a  last minute Halloween costume for your someone who suddenly hates what he wanted to be yesterday? Don’t have anything to send for class breakfast? Have a meeting at the same time as pickup? Need to vent about visiting family? Cry about your deepest parenting fears? Who do you call? Hint: ITS NOT YOUR PARTNER. It’s your mom friends. Those ladies in the trenches with you. Leave no mom behind! #nursingandcursing #nursingandcursingpodcast #momsofinstagram #momsofig #grittyparenting #motherhoodpluggedin #flashesofreallife #parenting #momlife #honestparenting #nailingit #failingit #nursing #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #raisingkids #birth #momfriends #friends #playdates
