What!?

The Family Skeptical

I mean, what really did we talk about? I feel like almost every one of our conversations went a bit off the rails this episode, but we started talking about our lax attitude to Reader and Go’s YouTube consumption, then we somehow got to our ghost/alien sightings (because we’re skeptics), and end up discussing whether children owe their parents anything and whether that changes as they get older…and end up diving deep into a Judge John Hodgman episode about creepy dolls. That all makes sense, right?

And now for the links:

• Here is the great Mom and Dad Are Fighting episode about telling your kids about your past abuse.

• He is the Hear Me Out episode with Gabrielle Blair.

• Here is the best Judge John Hodgman episode ever.

• Here is the Judge John Hodgman episode about the dolls on the piano.

The Family Skeptical: We’re a married atheist couple raising two wonderful, strange children. We ask big questions, dissect weird parenting moments, and examine how society ignores or misrepresents families like ours. If you’re any stripe of non-believer who’s involved in raising children, welcome! You are our people.

Our kids are Reader (9) and Go (7), and if you want to find out how we arrived at these peculiar pseudonyms, go back to Episode 1.
