Relatable with The Roses

Our parents swear we turned out just fine... but we're not so sure. 😂
This week starts with a not-so-fun update on Alfie after what should have been a routine trip to have his stitches removed (spoiler: it did not go according to plan). We also accidentally realize we've been podcasting together for an entire year—and somehow completely forgot our own anniversary.
Then Sophia shares the conversation with her mom that left both of them laughing: after suggesting they skip IVF because it was "hard on your body," her mom innocently asks... "Why don't you just try naturally?"
Which leads to a much bigger conversation:
Are today's parents overcomplicating everything... or have we actually learned a thing or two?
In this episode, we chat about:
🐶 Alfie's unexpected setback and why he's back in the cone
🎙️ One year of Relatable (and how we completely forgot our own anniversary)
😂 The IVF conversation that perfectly sums up the parenting generation gap
🚗 The car seats, sleep schedules, and baby gadgets our parents still can't believe we use
😴 Why one night with Grayson completely changed Sophia's mom's opinion on sleep training
❤️ A surprisingly emotional conversation about Sophia's dad, regret, and making the most of the people we love
🤔 What today's parenting trends will look ridiculous to Grayson when he has kids of his own

This week is a bit of an emotional rollercoaster...
We start with a long-awaited update on Alfie after his surgery (thankfully, it's good news ), celebrate one of Bradley's biggest career moments, and share the parenting milestone we've been dreaming about for an entire year.
Spoiler alert: Grayson finally slept through the night.
We also somehow end up debating whether Sophia actually deserved her high school soccer award, discussing why people have completely forgotten how to behave on public transport, and telling what might be the weirdest veterinary story we've ever shared.
As always... things get a little unhinged.
In this episode:
An update on Alfie after surgery (and why we're feeling incredibly grateful)
Bradley's feature in Men's Fitness magazine
What we've learned from Bradley's stroke journey and why asking for help matters
Grayson finally sleeps through the night after a year of sleepless nights
Our honest thoughts on sleep training (and why we changed our minds)
Bradley questions whether Sophia was ever actually good at soccer 
Why people playing TikToks out loud on public transport should be illegal (according to Bradley)
The bizarre phone call with our vet that led to one of the strangest things Sophia has ever had to do
Dear Roses: family vacations with the in-laws, baby names, and a few listener dilemmas
If you've ever been through sleep training, had an awkward trip to the vet, or have a story that still makes your partner question your athletic ability... we'd love to hear from you.

Taylor Swift got married... and naturally, we have thoughts.
This week we're making our predictions about what we think one of the biggest celebrity weddings of the year looked like, reminiscing about our early days together, celebrating Grayson's first birthday, and introducing a new game to the podcast: Blind Ranking.
The rules are simple: you have to rank five things before you know what's coming next. The result? Some very questionable decisions... and a lot of laughing.
We also share our Good Week / Bad Week, including a surprisingly passionate debate over stolen deodorant, an unexpectedly wholesome moment with a stranger in London, and a more vulnerable conversation about our 14½-year-old dog, Alfie, as he prepares for surgery.
In this episode:
Our predictions for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding
Why Bradley would rather stay home than go to a music festival
Looking back on who we were when we first met
Celebrating Grayson's first birthday with family
The stranger who settled our "green shirt vs. yellow shirt" debate
Bradley's case against sharing deodorant (yes, really)
We try the viral Blind Ranking game for the first time
A heartfelt update on Alfie and why this week has been emotional for our family
If you've played Blind Ranking with your friends, send us your favorite category—we're already planning to bring it back.

This episode starts with public bathroom disasters... and somehow ends with one of the biggest conversations we've had as parents.
This week, we're talking about everything from British pigeons masquerading as owls, to why we're finally trying sleep training, to the question we've been quietly avoiding:
Should we have another baby?
It's honest, emotional, funny, and completely unresolved—which, honestly, feels pretty relatable.
In this episode:
Why we're finally giving sleep training a try (and why it took us so long)
Sophia's public bathroom nightmare involving Bradley's mum
Bradley discovers his lifelong "spirit animal" might actually be... a pigeon
The great British neighbor debate (and why Sophia completely ignored Bradley's advice)
Bradley's latest biohacking obsession and why he's comparing wearable health trackers
Whether only children really are different (Bradley has opinions...)
The practical vs. emotional debate around having a second child
Why we're genuinely not on the same page—and why that's okay
As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts.
If you've wrestled with the decision to have another child (or decided to stop at one), we'd love to know: How did you know?

This week on Relatable, we kick things off by admitting we may have forgotten to explain the entire premise of Love Is Blind before interviewing Kelly Chase. So, naturally, we attempt to correct the record.
Then, with the World Cup bringing more international attention to America, Sophia quizzes Bradley on some truly bizarre American things — from drive-thru funeral viewings and cheese in a can to deep-fried Coke, Bass Pro Shops, and whether the U.S. actually has a chance at winning the World Cup.
We also chat about Bradley’s first Father’s Day, paternity leave, cold plunging, Sophia’s postpartum hair update, motorbike chaos, and what happened when we started reading Reddit comments about Bradley.
In this episode:
Our Love Is Blind correction
World Cup fever in the Rose household
The American things Bradley cannot believe are real
Drive-thru funeral homes, deep-fried snacks, and Bass Pro Shops
Bradley’s first Father’s Day
Sophia’s six-month postpartum hair update
Reddit’s thoughts on Bradley Rose
Why loud motorbikes might be Bradley’s villain origin story
As always, it’s chaotic, honest, and exactly the kind of conversation you’d normally save for the group chat.
