Why Do You Parent Like That?
Why Do You Parent Like That is a parenting podcast with one set of questions and one million ways to parent. Join host (and ya new bestie!) Abbey Harrison as she interviews a new parent each week and asks them the same five questions. The goal is to hear how wildly different answers to the same questions are depending on who is answering them. As a parent it's easy to feel like everyone is parenting the same way except for you, we're here to show you that that's not true! This pod is all about celebrating and learning from alllll kinds of parenting. We are stoked to have you here!
