Episode 14: Confessions of a Sleepover Hostage

One Minute Later With Craig

Tuesday, November 18, 2025 - 7 minutes

Craig thought hosting his daughter’s first tween sleepover would be simple—maybe loud, maybe sticky, but manageable. What he got instead was a full-scale girl-powered cyclone involving candy, high-frequency shrieks, attempted feline costume fittings, and one very illegal walk across the sofa. Left alone while Jen was called into work, Craig finds himself negotiating chaos, protecting household furniture, and hiding in his bedroom to avoid saying something that lands him on a parenting blog. Somewhere in the madness, though… something like patience starts to grow. Or maybe that’s just survival. A funny, honest, slightly unhinged look at the moments that stretch us—and the God who sits with us even when the cat is filing an HR complaint.
