Sometimes we need to stop trying so hard for things to get easier. We asked our listeners: where's an area of your parenting where you got better results by doing less?  In this episode we discuss our listeners' best advice on how to parent more lightly by caring less about our children's: homework potty training outfits palates basic hygiene birthday parties We also talk “bare minimum parenting” in its many forms with guest James Breakwell, author of Bare Minimum Parenting: The Ultimate Guide to Not Quite Ruining Your Child. James says bare minimum parenting isn't about the number of kids you have: “Two children aren't twice as much work as one. If you're already yelling at the first kid, just add the name of the second kid at the end.” For James, bare minimum parenting is about playing the long game. Can you look around at a group of adults and pick out which ones had baby massage or language-immersion preschool? Okay, sometimes they're dead ringers. But most of the time you can't, and we think James's new book is slyly revolutionary in the way it enables all of us to do less, worry less, and get our kids to pretty much the same place in the end. In other words, Bare Minimum Parenting doesn't have to mean no rules. It can mean basic rules that work for your family. But those rules aren't set by the family next door, or that clickbait-y guilt-inducing article you just read. And when the rules don't work? Put them aside for a bit. No regrets. ICYMI: in this episode Margaret mentions this slackline as her key to bare minimum backyard fun— her kids play on it for hours.

Popular comedy writer James Breakwell is on the #ReadingWithYourKids #Podcast to bring us the story of a determined boy with big dreams who remains undeterred by all the naysayers! James tells us that in You Can't Be A Pterodactyl we meet Tommy, a young boy who knows exactly what he wants to be when he grows up. But when he announces that he plans to be a pterodactyl, it turns out he's surrounded by skeptics (because what would he eat? Where would he live? How would he make money?). What's a kid with a big dream to do? Well first of all, he's not about to give up. (And he has a lot of good answers!) And fortunately, Tommy also has a wonderfully open-minded dad who helps him find a way to fulfill his goal. Kids will be cheering for Tommy on his road to pterodactyldom in this funny, engaging story, all the way to its clever resolution.

#184 — Growing up, James Breakwell never had to think about what jobs he wasn't allowed to pursue. That changed when he had kids. As the father of four girls — one of whom recently said she wants to be a construction worker, and another who asked if she could be the Pope — he's had to put himself in the shoes of the females surrounding him at home. As an author and internet personality behind the popular Twitter account @XplodingUnicorn, James is best known for his viral tweets depicting hilarious snippets of conversations with his daughters. In this interview with our first startup dad, he gets real about how he navigates building a public persona based on his family life — including how much to share and what to withhold.

If the name James Breakwell sounds familiar, you probably follow one of his popular social media accounts. Best known for his family humor Twitter @XplodingUnicorn, James went viral in 2016 and transformed from a niche comedy writer into one of the most popular dad bloggers on social media. The father of four is a former high school and collegiate runner who ran his first race in middle school - an ultra where runners did the same 5K loop as many times as possible in eight hours. “I didn't train at all,” remembers James. “The longest I'd ever run before that was maybe seven miles. I did exactly 10 loops—31 miles. At the end, I just wanted to die.” In this episode, James talks about his new book “How To Be A Man (Whatever That Means)”, his approach to running in high school and college, his mentality of having “no mentality” when it comes to running, running as a way to combat writer's block, and coaching his young daughters. **This episode is supported by Manscaped.

What do Madonna, Michelangelo, and Michael Stipe have in common? We compare them all to James Breakwell, who built his writing career by workshopping material on Twitter.

We talk about his writing process, making revisions at 3x speed, how his newsletter has built a solid audience for his book sales, and the burst of pride you feel when your pig makes the police blotter.

My guest this week brings a light-hearted and humorous take on parenthood at a time when we could all use more laughter and smiling. James Breakwell is a comedy writer and self-proclaimed amateur father, with 4 daughters all under the age of 9. He's written three books about the ups and downs of parenting and fatherhood, the most recent being "How to Save Your Child from Ostrich Attacks, Accidental Time Travel, and Anything Else that Might Happen on an Average Tuesday." In our conversation, James and I discuss his rise in comedy with his Twitter account, @XplodingUnicorn, and how parenting is a never-ending treasure trove of comedic material.

Comedian Ray Romano once noted that "having children is like living in a frat house — nobody sleeps, everything's broken, and there's a lot of throwing up."   As just about everyone listening to this right now knows, being a parent is one of the hardest things you'll ever do. Sure, it's also the most wonderful, joyous, meaningful thing you'll ever do—but it's no cakewalk.   That's why it really is so important to be able to look at the craziness of raising kids—yes, including the vomit everywhere—and somehow find the humor in it all.   That's the superpower of my guest today, James Breakwell. James is a professional comedy writer and self-described “amateur parent” of four girls, aged 8 and under. His parenting humor twitter account @XplodingUnicorn boasts over 1 million followers. Because of the way the social media world works, you may or may not recognize that account name, but I guarantee you've seen his writings if you're on social media.   James's online writing, most commonly taking the form of conversations between himself and one of his kids, deftly brings to life the innocence and absurdity of living in a house with tiny people whose understanding of the world is tenuous at best. But he does it in a way that I really appreciate and that makes him stand out from so many other parenting humorists—by respecting and marveling at his kids along the way.   He is the author of three books, including Only Dead on the Inside: A Parent's Guide to Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse, Bare Minimum Parenting: The Ultimate Guide to Not Quite Ruining Your Child, and his newest book—How to Save Your Child from Ostrich Attacks, Accidental Time Travel, and Anything Else that Might Happen on an Average Tuesday.   This was a conversation that I really think you're going to enjoy. If you do, and you want to share this episode by sharing the link drstevesilvestro.com/108 , neither James nor I will be offended!

Ankle Socks vs No Show Socks by Steve Olivas, James Breakwell

  Want to leave your kids? (We won't judge). It can be hard, especially when it's your first time. Depending on the age, traveling without your kids can be difficult on both you and your children. Eric and Rachel talk about their very different experiences and how they coped (or helped their kids cope). As usual, they wander off to other topics. There's an exploration of Doctor Who, and Eric reveals once again how he remembers a thing, but not the details. He also makes up a podcast called Exploding Armchair, which we can only guess is a mashup of Exploding Unicorn from James Breakwell and Armchair Expert with Dax Sheppard. They also talk about Batman's nutritional deficiencies, spoiler-free Captain Marvel, and a few other things.  Remember to subscribe and rate the show.     Get The Modern Father straight to your inbox! - Sign Up The Modern Father: Website // Twitter // Facebook Starship Suburbia: Website // Twitter // Facebook

James Breakwell - full-time comedian/author and part-time dad of four talks about his book: Bare Minimum Parenting- the Ultimate Guide to Not Quite Ruining Your Child.

James Breakwell is a comedian and author whose Twitter account Xploding Unicorn documents the funny conversations he has with his kids. While writing a humourous book about how to put the least amount of effort into parenting he accidentally discovered something very profound. He explains why the book, Bare Minimum Parenting, the ultimate guide to not quite ruining your children, is the parenting book you need to read this year.

James Breakwell reached his goal of being a journalist at a newspaper pretty quickly... then he quit... and became a social media celebrity and bestselling author. How?

If you're familiar with helicopter parenting, sorry, we're not talking about that. We're welcoming back the hilarious James Breakwell (aka Xploding Unicorn on Twitter) to talk about pretty much the opposite: bare minimum parenting. It also happens to be the title of his new book. He chats with Liz about school, social media, sanctimommies, and other things that don't start with the letter "s." We love hearing from you! Drop us an email at spawned@coolmompicks.com, tweet us @coolmompicks with #spawnedshow, and hit us up on Facebook. 

Parenting isn't an exact science. Sometimes we shine and sometimes not so much. It's ok. Join our panel discussion this week with James Breakwell a.k.a. Xploding Unicorn, for tips on how to recover from those parenting mistakes.

James Breakwell, Twitter celebrity, Indiana father of four daughters, and author of Bare Minimum Parenting – The Ultimate Guide to Not Quite Ruining Your Child, discusses raising children in today’s world. He and Bridget cover “drone parenting”, screen time and social media, keeping your perspective on parenting and ignoring the shamers, and why wanting your kid to go to Harvard is basically a euphemism for wanting them to make the most money. They also discuss treating Twitter like a job, how “overnight success” is really the result of at least ten years of slogging, and why saying “let’s cut parents some slack,” is a radical message in this day and age, but it shouldn’t be. You can find James on Twitter @XplodingUnicorn.

James Breakwell is a professional comedy writer, husband, and father of four young girls. He is best known for his family humor Twitter account @XplodingUnicorn, which boasts more than a million followers. The account went viral In April 2016 and transformed him from a niche comedy writer into one of the most popular dad brands on social media.

In this episode of the podcast Joe finds out how bare minimum parenting works with the man who literally wrote the book on it: James Breakwell. This Social Media Mogul who has over 1 million twitter followers does a deep dive into all aspects of his new book, Bare Minimum Parenting, which is the #1 new release in "Parenting & Families Humor" over at Amazon.com Joe had a great time trading jokes and parenting humor with James, we hope you enjoy the episode as much as we enjoyed recording it and be sure to pick up both of his books today, they make excellent gifts for the dad in your life this holiday season.

Sometimes we need to stop trying so hard for things to get easier. We asked our listeners: where’s an area of your parenting where you got better results by doing less? And as usual you all came through! In this episode we discuss your best advice on how to parent more lightly by caring less about our children’s homework potty training outfits palates basic hygiene birthday parties and have happier homes as a result. We also talk “bare minimum parenting” in its many forms with guest James Breakwell, author of the hilarious new book Bare Minimum Parenting: The Ultimate Guide to Not Quite Ruining Your Child. James says bare minimum parenting isn’t about the number of kids you have: “Two children aren’t twice as much work as one. If you’re already yelling at the first kid, just add the name of the second kid at the end.” For James, bare minimum parenting is about playing the long game. Can you look around at a group of adults and pick out which ones had baby massage or language-immersion preschool? Okay, sometimes they’re dead ringers. But most of the time you can’t, and we think James’s new book is slyly revolutionary in the way it enables all of us to do less, worry less, and get our kids to pretty much the same place in the end. In other words, Bare Minimum Parenting doesn’t have to mean no rules. It can mean basic rules that work for your family. But those rules aren’t set by the family next door, or that clickbait-y guilt-inducing article you just read. And when the rules don’t work? Put them aside for a bit. No regrets.

At last, the parenting advice you never asked for, yet somehow desperately need... from self proclaimed non-expert, but nonetheless hilarious author, parent and pig owner (not necessarily in that order), James Breakwell.

In Part Two of this file the prolific pro comedy writer, author, and amateur parenting expert, James Breakwell, took a timeout to rap with me about @XplodingUnicorn and his rise to viral Twitter fame, how he juggles multiple writing projects, his family and his sanity, and the writer as entrepreneur. In the early days of his writing career James told me that he knew he wouldn’t score a book deal sending out query letters or tossing his ideas over the transom, so he decided to build an online following for his unique, self-effacing comedy. Finding inspiration in his family of four girls all under the age of eight, he turned his attentions to blogging, web comics, podcasting, and family humor on Twitter where he eventually found viral fame. In 2016 Buzzfeed dubbed him “The Funniest Dad On Twitter” and shortly thereafter his audience grew … in a big way. He has been featured on media outlets around the world, has attracted over a million followers on social media, has signed multiple book deals, and even writes a column for a newspaper. His second book, Bare Minimum Parenting: The Ultimate Guide to Not Quite Ruining Your Child, comes out November 6th, 2018, and is “… a book about doing as little as possible without quite ruining your child.” New York Times bestselling author Kristan Higgins said, “… Parents! Read this book and free yourself from the blood sport that parenting has become!” And bestselling author Liliana Hart wrote, “Breakwell has a hit … uproariously funny, and at times, unexpectedly poignant.” Join us for this two-part interview.

Episode 45 of the podcast is one I’m excited to bring to all of you. I was thrilled to receive a favorable response quickly after I originally reached out to James Breakwell. When I stumbled onto his Twitter feed some months ago, I felt a kindred spirit connection right away.James is probably known to a lot of people by his Twitter handle and website name: Exploding Unicorn. He has been plugging away at bringing the reality and levity of being a parent to other parents via the internet for quite some time now. He typically does not pull punches on his posts and allows the humor and goofiness of his kids fully shine through.Already very successful with his own true life experiences, he went on to create a new character that grew into massive popularity as well: Very Lonely Luke (under that same username). The account caught the attention of Star Wars fans globally, even as much as attracting Mark Hamill to talk about it. I’m only the tiniest bit envious of that part of the accomplishment.We did a dive into James’ family history that you probably won’t find in many places. He told some great stories about his own Dad and the traits and characteristics that he acquired from him.James documented the enduring work he put in to not only make a name for himself with his comedy writing but also connecting with people over the internet. His story is unique and shows his dedication to what he does, his passion for it and his understanding of the work it takes to go beyond the Single Viral Tweet Syndrome.James Breakwell can be found on Twitter at @XplodingUnicornHis latest book: “Only Dead On The Inside: A Parent’s Guide To Surviving The Zombie Apocalypse” can be purchased here at AmazonDaddy Unscripted can be found at:iTunes | Stitcher Radio | Google Play | Tune-In RadioTwitter: @DaddyUnscriptedFacebook: Daddy Unscriptedwww.daddyunscripted.comDaddy Unscripted is proud to be a part of the Osiris Podcast Network!

2017 is coming to a close, and like every other year, it was a year full of parenting fails. But if you're feeling guilty about all the things you've done wrong, take comfort knowing you aren't alone. Every parent makes mistakes. The best thing we can do is just say sorry and try not to make the same mistakes again. Parenting is stressful enough without beating yourself up for past mistakes. And that's what this episode is all about. This week we’re starting our countdown of the best parenting fail stories shared on the show in 2017. (Obviously, one parenting fail isn’t better than another. This countdown is just for fun.) Five stories will be shared in this episode and we'll continue the countdown from 10-6 next week.

Biz and Theresa admit that when we have those “what if I hadn’t done this or that” moments it may be tied to unrecognized guilt. Like most parenting guilt, while it isn’t true, it still feels bad, so is there any benefit to it? Plus Biz is not in a happy place, Theresa is in a happy place and we talk to James Breakwell, the exploding unicorn himself, about his new book Only Dead On The Inside: A Parents Guide For Surviving The Zombie Apocalypse. Check out James on twitter @XplodingUnicorn and you can find his book Only Dead on the Inside: A Parent's Guide to Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse online and in booksellers near you!

Debate starts at 2:21. We're joined by two guests this week, James Breakwell (https://twitter.com/XplodingUnicorn), author of Only Dead on the Inside (http://amzn.to/2AOMoC6) and Kirk Wilcox (https://twitter.com/KirkWilcox). We had a first-ever 2-on-2 debate on The Best Debate. Even though we touched on the topic of "net neutrality" previously, it's an important enough topic to warrant its own full episode and this was a very thorough and robust debate. We even stumbled upon an argument that may stump every "property-rights" absolutist: the Donut Property Theory! Really worth listening to near the end of the episode.

The theme of donuts shows up several times in this episode, when I offer to build a brick wall in front of Kirk's hypothetical donut shop. Want his glazed donuts? Tough shit!

Two packages for the price of one and they still complained? Some people are hard to please. The voicemail number is: 1-562-58-I-RULE (1-562-584-7853).

Parenthood. It’s the mother (or father) of all relationships. On this episode of the Relate podcast, we’re exploring parenthood from a few different angles. You’ll hear about a tough-as-nails biker club in New York City that helps support moms and their newborn babies. There’s also a rather extreme example of parenting... from behind bars. Mona Graves spent 24 years in prison, and not only managed to parent her two sons, but used her experience to help other incarcerated mothers. And we get some hilarious perspectives on fatherhood and minivans from James Breakwell. He’s the author of “Only Dead On The Inside - A Parent’s Guide to Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse.”

This is Part Two in the three part series of the best parenting fails shared on the podcast so far. I realize that "best" is not really the best word to use when you’re talking about parenting fails, because one parenting fail isn’t better than another one, but it is fun to do “best of” countdowns. So, the takeaway I hope you get from listening to this series isn’t that mistakes are no big deal. It’s simply that we all make mistakes, and that there’s no such thing as a perfect parent. Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or wherever you listen to podcasts, so you don't miss the Top 10 Parenting Fails next week.

No matter how much we love our kids or how hard we try to be perfect, parenting fails are inevitable, which is why it’s important to tell our stories - so nobody gets fooled into thinking any parent is as perfect as they pretend to be on Facebook. This is the second time I’ve done an episode dedicated to parenting fails. You can go back and listen to episode 11 of the podcast, which features the parenting fails from the first 10 guests on the show. Now, for this episode, I’ve compiled the parenting fails from guests 11 through 15.
