Parents, comedians, actors and the trauma that is being better than your parents, join us on our weekly “big feelings” podcast rant about the people we have to work with and our roommates - jk our kids. So hold my baby because I need to teach yours a lesson. Hosted by Erik Rivera and Kira Soltanovich
Stop Giving Random Parents Your Kids! School Pickup, Mechanic Scams & Doggy Chiropractors | Ep. 36
Welcome back to **Hold My Baby**, the parenting podcast where we have years of parenting experience and are still somehow surprised every week by the decisions other parents make.
This week, Erik and Kira accidentally discover a genuinely useful parenting hack:
Don't want to entertain your kid?
Don't.
Just point at something in the distance and yell:
**“I BET YOU CAN'T GET THERE IN 12 SECONDS!”**
Congratulations.
You've invented childcare.
Welcome to **Hold My Baby**.
We're helping parents.
We're helping dogs.
And soon...
**We're helping dogs get into heaven.**

Back to School Drama, Teen Fashion & PLEASE Cut Your Hair! | Hold My Baby Ep. 35
Welcome back to **Hold My Baby**, where we lovingly support our children becoming independent human beings...
**until they choose a hairstyle we don't understand.**
Then suddenly democracy has limits.
Erik and Kira kick things off with some aggressively spicy morning energy, childhood trauma projections, Sunset Boulevard construction, and the discovery of perhaps the most motivational gym advertisement ever placed on a Tesla Cybertruck.
Nothing says health and wellness quite like being verbally assaulted by a vehicle before breakfast.
Welcome to parenting teenagers and preteens:
**“Be yourself, sweetheart.”**
*...within reason.*

Big Feelings” Parenting, No-Touch Tag & Why Two Phones Are ALWAYS Suspicious | Hold My Baby Ep. 34
Welcome back to **Hold My Baby**, the parenting podcast where we’re raising emotionally intelligent children... but we’d also really appreciate it if they would clean up their mess. We believe in you.
This week, Eric and Kira record way past bedtime, which means the conversation immediately becomes unhinged.
This week's parenting argument: 🧠 **Have we gone too far with “big feelings” parenting?**
We’re all for helping kids understand their emotions.
Truly.
But when your child launches something across a public place, maybe before we unpack their emotional journey, we could start with...picking that up.
