Nursing And Cursing

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

Hey Momrades! What’s a mom’s most important resource ? Coffee? wine? Birth control? Delivery?  Name of a great sitter? NOPE! It’s...time. No matter what, there’s never enough of it.  This week we are chit chatting about what we do to save time. Some are obvious: we haven’t had a shower since 2014.  And some are a little more brilliant ....and some are basically child abuse, but we won’t tell if you don’t! #nursingandcursing #nursingandcursingpodcast #momsofinstagram #momsofig #grittyparenting #motherhoodpluggedin #flashesofreallife #parenting #momlife #honestparenting #nailingit #failingit #nursing #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #raisingkids #birth #timesavers

Mamas, how did you feel after your babies were born? This week we are talking about how we felt ...we felt like shit. We cried, we screamed, we panicked, we scared our husbands and freaked out our neighbors. Is this normal!?! What is normal when you’re talking about postpartum feelings? We don’t know how you should feel, but this week we are getting REAL about how it was for us. It. Was. Hard. #nursingandcursing #nursingandcursingpodcast #momsofinstagram #momsofig #grittyparenting #motherhoodpluggedin #flashesofreallife #parenting #momlife #honestparenting #nailingit #failingit #nursing #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #raisingkids #birth #postpartum #postpartumdepression #depression #babyblues

99 problems and one of them is a car seat, one of them is a candy addicted toddler and one is a kid who won’t sleep. Ugh. This mini ep is just us crowd sourcing the problems on our plate this week. Drop us a line with any suggestions! ❤️ #nursingandcursing #nursingandcursingpodcast #momsofinstagram #momsofig #grittyparenting #motherhoodpluggedin #flashesofreallife #parenting #momlife #honestparenting #nailingit #failingit #nursing #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #raisingkids #birth

Hey Momrades! what are you responsible for? Omg just kidding we know the answer to that (every-effing-thing). Maybe this is an easier question: is there ANYTHING you’re NOT responsible for?!? Anything that’s NOT YOUR DEPARTMENT? Anything that your partner knows is automatically their problem?  This week we are talking about where we draw the line, if we do at all

It’s 5:15pm. You’re all hungry and tired, but the sink is full of breakfast dishes and the fridge is empty. you know what sounds good? A glass of wine while the kids color the kiddie menu and you order $5.99 chicken tenders and fries while you and your partner catch up on your day...cut to: the kids are screaming and shrieking so you give them your phone, they knock over the drinks, no one touches the food, you’ve never been so flustered and it costs $96.55. This week we are talking dining out with kids. Better get that grilled cheese to go, Mom. #Parenting #Kids #DiningOut #Dinner

How many kids should you have? There’s the number you want, the number your partner wants, the number your saggy boobs want, the number you can afford, and the space you have at home. Why hasn’t someone made an app for this!?! Seriously tho, how do you know when you’re done having kids? This episode is all about answering that question. Leave a comment and let us know if kate should have one more?!   #Kids #Parenting #MultipleKids #Siblings #Freedom

The kids are sick. You know what that means: no school, no work, no sleep, and enough laundry to break you down.  What’s it this time? Strep? Ear infection? Foot and mouth? Fifths ? Lemme guess a “virus”??! This week we discuss what we do and do not do when our kids are sick. Ps isn’t it weird how your kids only get sick at 2am when you have so much to do the next day?!?

Another year keeping your kid alive!  You did it Mom!! Congrats, girl

You poor thing. We know you gotta pick up the older, make those turkey meatballs, finish the laundry, and feed the baby ... but all the while, there’s something thick, warm and daunting slowly leaking through your sweat pants, and it’s proof that Mother Nature DGAF what’s on your to-do list. Join us as we discuss what it means to suffer through your period after you’ve had a kid. Warning, this episode is NSFMen. There’s nothing worse than your post-baby period. Period. #Period #Cramps #MenstrualCycle #NSFM
