Raising 90s Kids in 2026 🎙️ How do you give your kids the childhood you loved when they’re growing up in a completely different world? In this episode of The Waddling Truth, we’re talking about the weird balance of raising kids in 2026 while trying to hold onto some of the best parts of growing up in the 90s. We’re talking playing outside until the streetlights come on, letting kids actually be BORED, chores and raising capable future adults, screen-time limits, tablets, technology, AI—and why I don’t think the answer is pretending any of it doesn’t exist. Plus, kitchen dance parties, drinking from the hose, kids who refuse to charge their own tablets, a little chaos, and naturally… some technical difficulties. 😂 Because at the end of the day, I keep coming back to one question: What kind of adults are we trying to raise? We definitely don’t have parenting figured out, but maybe that’s kind of the point. 🎧 Listen to the full episode and then tell us: What’s one thing from YOUR childhood that you’re making sure your kids get to experience? Welcome, Waddlers. You’re not alone. 🤍 #TheWaddlingTruth #90sKids #ParentingIn2026 #Motherhood #MomPodcast #Parenting #MomOfFive

The second you're pregnant, everyone starts calling your husband a dad. Future dad. Soon-to-be daddy. But when Mother's Day rolls around? Suddenly it's, "Well technically, you're not a mom yet." Excuse me... then who's been growing an entire human for the last several months? In this episode, we're diving into the hilarious double standard of pregnancy holidays, why expecting moms already deserve to be celebrated, and why this debate gets people so fired up. So tell us: If dads get Father's Day while their partner is pregnant... should pregnant women get Father's Day too? 👀

Whether you're expecting your first baby or your fifth, this episode is proof that nobody really knows what they're doing—and that's okay. Grab your favorite drink, settle in, and join us for another honest conversation about pregnancy, parenthood, and everything in between. 🎙️ The Waddling TruthTwo moms. Nine kids. Zero filters.

Nobody prepares couples for the postpartum questions they are too embarrassed to ask out loud. Can you get pregnant 3 weeks after birth? Does breastfeeding actually prevent pregnancy? What really changes after a hysterectomy? And why do so many women feel completely blindsided by postpartum recovery? In this episode of The Waddling Truth, Alicia and Kristian answer the awkward, uncomfortable, and wildly misunderstood postpartum questions partners are secretly Googling at midnight. No sugarcoating. No fake “bounce back” nonsense. Just honest conversations about healing, hormones, sex, recovery, and what real postpartum life actually looks like. Alicia brings the clinical side after seeing tens of thousands of pregnancies and ultrasounds firsthand. Kristian brings the lived side after 5 postpartum recoveries in 7 years. And honestly? Some of the misinformation around postpartum recovery is scarier than the actual questions.
