This week, Quinn and Claire talk about first crushes, school dances, bloody noses, and other horrors of middle school before getting into why youth sports are dying across the US, especially because coaches make no money while dealing with our asshole kids, so yes, they do deserve a Target gift card at the very least.
Also discussed: sleeping (badly), mandatory attendance policies, the art of letting your kid navigate social terrors on their own timeline, and more.
