The list includes gentle parenting, poop on the wall, and a code word for when 'no' stops working.

1. The After Class Podcast Show episode 'Our Top Parenting Advice S:2 Ep:8' centers on parenting tips, spring break chaos, and family logistics. 2. The hosts are Lauren and her partner, who trade parenting stories, and Dan, a longtime friend who joins for a March Madness check-in. 3. The episode asks what advice actually helps when a house has kids, visitors, and a newborn. 4. The opening includes Tatum being asked to say 'mama' or 'dada' into the microphone before the hosts reset the intro twice. 5. Lauren describes projectile vomiting from Tatum, including the sound of being 'choked up' and the bed getting stripped afterward. 6. The hosts compare that moment to the stress of spring break, when all three kids are home and constantly asking for food or attention. 7. They also talk about hosting family, including the anxiety before visitors arrive and the urge to keep the house cleaned up. 8. A friend named Scott is introduced as a new neighbor who lives eight to ten minutes away and has already been visited multiple times. 9. The hosts describe the awkwardness of knocking on someone's door without a clear invitation and contrast it with how people used to drop by in the past. 10. Dan joins for 'Dan's Den' and talks about Iowa State, Iowa, UNI, Clemson, and a possible matchup with Kentucky. 11. Dan says Jefferson's ankle injury looked bad on the third play of the game, but he still predicts Iowa State will beat Kentucky. 12. The conversation also touches Katelyn Clark, with Dan dismissing her and the hosts joking about commercials and Taylor Swift fans. 13. They move from basketball to the Iowa State Fair, where fried Oreos, fried pickles, fried butter, and lemonade come up as specific food memories. 14. One host says fair crowds care more about the food lines than the rides, and the other notes the amount of wheelchairs and heat in the crowd. 15. The parenting advice list begins with keeping $100 cash in small bills because of recurring surprises like the tooth fairy and Santa. 16. The next advice is a household code word, 'take the no,' which signals that a child has pushed too far past a simple answer. 17. They joke about a child spelling his name on a wall with poop and use that to criticize overly soft responses to discipline. 18. Another tip is to remove batteries from toys because one toy can turn on at 4 a.m. and create noise that feels unmanageable. 19. The episode keeps a loose, conversational, joke-heavy pace, with interruptions from childcare and a final serious note about communicating with teachers and principals. 20. Parents with toddlers, school-age kids, or newborns will get the most from this episode, while listeners who want structured interviewing or serious advice may skip it.
