Parenting Tips from “Shrinking” S3 E5, “Hold Your Horsies”

Parenting Tips from “Shrinking” S3 E5, “Hold Your Horsies”

Author: Parenting Roundabout March 3, 2026 Duration: 24:45
Each Tuesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Currently, that's Shrinking. This season is supposed to be about moving on, but our characters are really moving in a one-step-forward, two-steps-back manner. Mentioned: Jason Segel singing "Nightswimming," the Les Mis car karaoke scene from this episode, an earlier rendition of the song by Jason Segel and his How I Met Your Mother castmate Neil Patrick Harris, and the apropos songs "Letting Go" (about making mistakes) and "Bad Decisions."

Next week, we'll continue with Shrinking S3 E6, "Dereks Don't Die." We'll be back tomorrow to discuss Lost.

Every week, Parenting Roundabout brings together the voices and experiences of writers Terri Mauro and Catherine Holecko. Think of it less as a manual and more as a conversation happening across the kitchen table, where the topics flow as freely as the coffee. They dive into the cultural moments, family dynamics, and daily dilemmas that actually fill your news feed and your thoughts, from the latest kids' TV show sparking debate to the subtle shifts in how we think about family and society. This isn't about perfect answers, but about navigating the messy, rewarding loop of raising kids alongside someone who gets it. In each episode of this podcast, you'll hear a natural, often humorous discussion that reflects what's really on parents' minds right now-the small complaints, the genuine obsessions, and the shared wisdom that comes from living it. Tune in for a dose of reality and camaraderie, a break from the noise that still manages to engage with the things that matter most in the whirlwind of family life.
