About this episode
In this Parenting is a Joke snack episode, comedian and podcaster Casey Balsham returns to talk about expecting baby number two and the major parenting shifts she’s making this time around. She shares why she’s skipping breastfeeding after 14 months of postpartum rage, how her toddler still treats her chest like a pacifier, and why people keep assuming this pregnancy happened “naturally” despite another round of IVF. Casey and Ophira swap notes on the challenges of playing with toddlers, the struggle to keep toys organized, and the frustration of unsolicited parenting advice. Plus, they discuss co-sleeping chaos, the mental gymnastics of screen time guilt, and the absurdity of parents who put designer clothes on their kids. Casey also teases her upcoming Broadway-themed podcast, It’s Broadway, Bitch.
