Pat and Cristina: Parenting Adventures from Coast to Coast
The things that are coming to mind are like...it's hard, I mean I guess I should say it's easier when you kind of know, before you have kids, that, like, we're on the same lines.
Meet Pat and Cristina, the dynamic duo featured on this episode of 'Birds In A Tree'. With Bridget Manley at the helm, this conversation takes you through the unique journey of a couple who have navigated the complexities of parenting while balancing life between the East and West Coasts. Pat, originally from the East Coast, and Cristina, a West Coast native, eventually decided to settle down in coastal California.
This decision brought them closer to Cristina's family but also meant making time for visits to Pat's family back East. They share their experiences of raising two daughters and fostering a love for the great outdoors in them. From dealing with homesickness to figuring out their parenting styles, Pat and Cristina offer a candid look into their lives. They talk about the importance of emotional support, managing long-distance family relationships, and finding joy in everyday moments.
Plus, they share some amusing anecdotes, like what to do when you hear a bear outside your tent at 4 AM. If you're looking for a heartfelt and relatable discussion on the ups and downs of parenting, this episode is for you.
