Hot Takes & Snack Time: Honest Parenting in a Screen-Full World

Today we’re saying the quiet parent thoughts out loud. 🙃

From “Dads aren’t babysitters” to “your kid doesn’t need a perfect childhood, they need a soft place to fall apart,” we’re running through a whole slate of spicy-but-kind hot takes about modern parenting.

In this episode, we chat about:

• Why “back in my day…” advice doesn’t always work for kids growing up with iPads and group chats

• The difference between gentle parenting and zero boundaries

• Toddler meltdowns, public judgment, and what our reactions are teaching our kids

• Screens as survival tools vs screens as babysitters

• Red flags in kids’ products and “smart” toys

• The pressure to be a “content creator” parent while staying sane and keeping your kids’ privacy intact

If you’ve ever reheated the same coffee three times and questioned everything you’re doing as a parent, you’re in the right place.
