Advertise on podcast: You say teenager, I say toddler

Today we are dropping another episode that we recorded during the holiday break, so please forgive the dated holiday references. Cheryl joined us to share her personal story, in hopes that it might help others. ***Trigger warning*** We will be discussing the death of a child, and the grief that accompanies a tragedy of this magnitude.

The last podcast was on the heavier side--so we wanted to lighten the mood just a bit, and attempt something new this week. We looked at some Dear Abby & Dear Prudence questions posed online--and offered up our own advice. Bad advice that is. How do our thoughts stack up against the professionals? You'll have to listen and find out. If you decide you'd like some bad advice as well, email or DM us your questions/concerns.

We cover the gamut today--paying for your teenager's Uber rides, Alanis Morissette concerts, cute Hard Kombucha guys, and we even took a walk down memory lane when were were crappy friends to each other (apologies were made). And that's all before discussing the topic of this episode! Join us as we discuss Mel Robbin's High Five Habit in honor of World Mental Health Day.

Why are school lunches the devil? And what do you do when some large kid at the playground shoves your little angel for no good reason (besides punch him)? Join us as we chat about some of the minutia, yet maddening, aspects of parenting.  Email us at: [email protected] Follow us on Instagram @teenagertoddler Get more content & support our work on: patreon.com/teenagertoddler

Picture it...your kid turns 18. You're so proud. They're an adult now. They're free to live their own life and make their way in the world. (Insert record scratch here). But, like...they still live at home because they have another year of high school to finish, and you can't just kick them out. What do you do when they think they should have all the freedom of an adult, with none of the responsibility? Join us as we attempt to talk this scenario through--because, Babs has in fact, turned 18. Sh*t!
