Episode Description from the Publisher

What if the person you chose to have a baby with didn’t have to be the person you were in love with? This week, Kee and Kelly are deep-diving platonic co-parenting - from friends having babies together, to co-parenting apps, to the families choosing to raise children outside the traditional romantic relationship model. And the more they unpack it, the more the question becomes less “is this weird?” and more “did we just make parenting harder by doing it all in a nuclear family?”   LINKS TO EVERYTHING WE MENTIONEDImpact - Mixed-Orientation Marriage Mamamia - I'm a straight woman happily married to a gay manThe New York Times: In Search of a Platonic Co-ParentElective Co-Parenting Study HOSTS & PRODUCERSKee Reece Searles @keereeceKelly McCarren @kelly_mccarren AUDIO PRODUCTIONMadeline Joannou - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mylk Media⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
