And they each have problems with the other season's clothing options. Old Navy, please sponsor us. First, the duo answer a listener's very kind and thoughtful question about how to be there for a younger relative in crisis without overstepping their bounds. Then, midwife and "Queer Conception" author Liam Kali joins the podcast for a life-affirming conversation about the differences between a midwife, an OBGYN, and a doula, the specific gender and sexuality needs of queer and trans fertility and pregnancy, and how to make childbearing more comfortable and inclusive for everyone. Plus, is it bad to keep your kid who won't go to bed up all night using an air horn? Gaby says no. This game of Hypotheticals has DEPTH. And finally, compromise. Allison talks about flexibility in relationships, Gaby exposes their dad's silliness around name changes, and Melissa stands her ground better than either of them.
