“She Got Me Pregnant”: Episode 18

Could Uncle Bobby’s Wedding, a children’s tale about two gay guinea pigs, become one of the most controversial books of the year? At least it would give the penguins a break, Helen and I conclude in our vlog this week. After some guinea pig-hamster confusion, we then move ahead in age range and recommend a book about transgender teens that should be of interest to parents and non-parents alike. We also respond to viewer comments that we seem like a “normal” couple, and ask “What is normal, and what does that have to do with parenting, anyway?”

Finally, we share the world premiere of the new trailer for Dottie’s Magic Pockets, a video for young children of LGBT families and their friends, and pass along a special Dottie discount to viewers. (Hint: If you purchase the Dottie video or t-shirts from their site between now and April 5, 2008, and use the coupon code “MOMBIAN”, you’ll get 20% off your entire order; limit one per shipping address. Note that we’re not getting any fee or commission from these sales, although Dottie’s production company has advertised on Mombian.)
