Thanks for My Child…But Can They Please Answer the Damn Phone?!

Send us a text

They’ve got phones in their hands 24/7 — but won’t pick up when we call. In this episode of 50ish & Fab: The Hot Flash Report, we’re diving into the great generational disconnect with Gen Z and Gen Alpha. Why won’t they unplug? Why do they prefer texts, snaps, and cryptic emojis over an actual conversation? And most importantly — how do we really connect with our kids and grandkids in a digital-first world?

Join me as we laugh through the frustration, reflect on our own parenting (and grandparenting) styles, and explore tips to build stronger bridges across the tech divide. Whether you’re ready to chuck your phone or finally learn what “rizz” means, this episode is for you.
