In this follow-up snack episode, Biz Ellis, co-host of One Bad Mother, joins Ophira Eisenberg for another hilarious and honest conversation about the realities of parenting and life's never-ending chaos. Biz opens up about wrapping up her 12-year podcast journey, navigating grief, and what she might tackle next as her kids grow older. Together, they unpack why parenting in America feels harder than ever, the cultural disdain for kids, and the impossible demands on parents in a system designed to fail them. They also talk about the joys of housecleaning—or gleefully ignoring it—while Ophira dreams of living on a minimalist boat. Biz shares her tried-and-true approach to parenting wins, from managing Halloween meltdowns to embracing her son's unconventional food choices. This candid chat is a mix of wisdom, wit, and the shared understanding that, despite the chaos, we're all doing a great job. ✨ Subscribe, rate, and review!

This week on Parenting Is a Joke, Ophira Eisenberg welcomes podcast pioneer Biz Ellis from the wildly popular One Bad Mother show! Biz shares her strategies for raising emotionally forward kids, from letting them slam doors to giving them ice to smash against walls. Meanwhile, Ophira reflects on her own parenting moments, like offering her son the chance to scream it out in the car and navigating impulse control challenges. Together, they explore the long game of emotional growth and why creative outlets for frustration can work wonders. They also discuss the dynamics of raising teens and tweens, with Biz dishing on her “yes and” relationship with her 15-year-old and the ups and downs of managing her emotionally intense fifth-grader. The pair also laugh about the absurdities of parenting culture, from outdated punishments to the joys of sweeping as a therapeutic activity.  ✨ Subscribe, rate, and review!
