Recap: Labor of Love Episode 1

The following recap contains spoilers.

I had seen commercials for Fox’s latest reality show but didn’t quite get the concept and thought it was another dating show where they added dates with babies to see what they would look like as a play family. I’m not really into dating reality shows. Project Runway, Making the Cut, The First 48 (morbid, I know!) are more my speed. A listener to the podcast sent me a message to watch this show and maybe do some recaps. I thought ok, let me watch the first episode and see what it’s about. Well I guess I was sorta right about the premise of the show but basically Kristy is looking for a baby daddy. We live in a sad state where men and women are willing to go on television to artificially fulfill this societal norm.

COVID 19 - How are you surviving during these uncertain times

Hey DINKs and SINKs family! I wanted to check in with you. I have podcasts ready for publish but they involve travel and other topics I don’t feel are appropriate at this time.

I live in New Jersey where we have a stay at home executive order issued by the governor. I have been working from home for the last 2 weeks. If I’m being honest I hate it. I don’t mind staying at home, I don’t like being told to stay at home. Also, I don’t have a job where working from home is optimal.

Film Review: To Kid or Not to Kid

A few months ago, right around the time I started this podcast, this documentary was brought to my attention. Maxine was doing the rounds on all the morning shows and like many of us DINKs and SINKs, I saw her as bringing attention to my choice not to have kids in a positive light.
