This week on Premeditated Opinions, Pamela and Josh tackle the wild world of parenting, profanity, and public policy — from road rage karaoke (“Nice effing brake lights!” 🎶) to why kids have an uncanny ability to remember exactly the words you wish they’d forget. They swap stories about construction chaos, censored childhoods, and accidentally turning Jackbox into an adults-only game night before discovering the “family-friendly” setting the hard way.

Then, they shift gears — diving into the rising cost of child care, how New Mexico’s universal childcare program might actually save parents’ sanity (and wallets), and why government budgets should fund PB&Js, not political BS. The episode wraps with Pride weekend in Dallas, Free Mom Hugs, and Pamela’s full-color conversion story from “respectful ally” to glitter-covered hug dispenser.

Other highlights:

• Parenting real talk: Kids, cussing, and why “the car is an extension of the home.”
• Construction hell: Three closed roads, zero planning, and a GPS having an existential crisis.
• Childcare costs: The second mortgage you can’t live in.
• Dallas Pride: Free Mom Hugs, glitter tears, and why the gays make everything better.
• Bonus challenge: Turn “Nice effing brake lights” into your next road rage anthem.

If you’re into millennial humor, progressive parenting, policy with empathy, and laughing through the chaos, this episode is your permission slip to curse responsibly and hug freely.
