WFH moms, when do you have a chance to listen to podcasts? There are so many I want to listen to but I never have the time. Friends (without kids) seem to do it during a work commute but I dont have that because I WFH. headphones I can't do because my luttlest is 10 months and I need to hear her. I also wouldnt play it for everyone to hear in case its innapproprate (my MIL also lives with us). Suggestions?

Any recs for ones to listen to? I listen when I put my daughter down at night.

I listen when I go for a walk or a jog. Occasionally I will when folding laundry after the kid is asleep.

Walks with my baby with one headphone in. I listen sometimes when I’m working if I don’t have to do too much writing (very hard to listen to people talk when trying to write lol). I never cared too much about appropriateness with my 13 month old honestly…. Maybe when he’s a bit older? If I get to the gym I usually listen to podcasts instead of music.

When I shower, cook, & clean

I listen in the bath/shower. That’s the only time I’ve got lol

Need advice, my brother and his wife have a three month old and aren't the most cautious parents with my nephew. Yesterday, my SIL was giving him a bath and just left him in the tub on the counter to go run upstairs for something. Granted, the water came up to his chest and his head was angled out of the tub, bit still. Also, they leave him on the couch and walk away. I'm worried that when he starts rolling over he'll fall off because they will have developed this bad habit...
