Tondreka Robles
Mother and son, Tondreka and Armando discussing the pressing issues of our life together. From behavior issues to life as a middle schooler as well as anxieties about returning to the workforce, it’s all on the table.
All the kids recording with me at the same time!! It was fun. Filled with lots of talking horsing around, fake tears and fake names. Moses apparently missed that he’s Puerto Rican these whole 7 years of his life. This episode doesn’t make sense but why would it need to.
Solo episode with Tondreka. Trying to get back into the rhythm of recording. Random thoughts that are mostly about the first 2 audio hours of SPARE, Prince Harry’s book. I also talk about processing the loss of a parent at a young age. More of your regularly scheduled programming with the kids coming soon!
So what is it that kids think on the day before school. We ask 3 experts and all kinds of things were said.
WE’RE BACK!!!! Mosey ( our resident Rock expert) is getting into the weeds about volcanic rocks!! Lots of silliness and love.
Armando is up to his usual antics making up things as he goes along. We talk about losing things at Target. Provide a happy update on the boys conflict resolution tactics and talk about our recent vacation. I thought we were vacationing on Presque Isle, Erie PA but according to Armando we were hanging out at the Illuminati, Bermuda Triangle????? Sometimes I worry about this kid.
Armando talks about one of his favorite subjects Greek mythology and discusses the perils of recovering from a 5th grade sleepover party. We also have an update on his video game chronicles.
In this episode we reminisce about all the good times we’ve had playing video games together. From Armando starting out sitting on Mom’s lap to him wanting to buy a different game everyday. In this conversation we discover that video games have brought us together in ways we didn’t even realize
Special Guest Moses ( Armando’s little brother) stops by to talk about how his allergies have improved and define the only way brothers can discuss things. We also introduce a segment called Mosey’s Rock Corner. A place we’re a rock lover can be a rock lover.
We finally get to the bottom of why Armando is a devil at home yet an angel everywhere else. I talk Sociology and why I am chose to invest in the kids instead of a career.
Our first episode!!! He’s excited for middle school I’m nervous about my next steps forward in life
