Mom & Dad: My Son Wears Skirts. My Mom Doesn’t Like It.

On this episode: Elizabeth, Zak and Jamilah help a listener decide
how to support her skirt-loving eight-year-old-son — and how to get
his hesitant grandmother to come around. We also go over some
‘triumphs and fails’ from the past week — and then, if you’re
sticking around for Slate Plus, we explore the history of the comic
strip Goofus and Gallant… and what 80 years can tell us about the
evolution of parenthood. If you enjoy this show, please consider
