The New Mamas Podcast
HOT TAKES: Screen time a cop out? Do we love or hate birthday parties?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I’m diving into the spiciest parenting opinions you sent me over Instagram and let’s just say… y’all did not hold back. 😅
Listen to Part 2 here on my Substack
From “Screen time is a cop out” to “Birthday parties actually the worst” to the never-ending saga of potty training, we’re unpacking the hot takes that secretly live in every mom group chat.
I react in real time and share my honest thoughts (as a working mom in the thick of it), and explore the gray areas we don’t always talk about.
This episode is equal parts funny, relatable, and “wait… are we allowed to say that out loud?”
If you’ve ever:
- Handed over an iPad and felt judged
- Dreaded a 3-hour kids’ birthday party
- Questioned your entire existence during potty training
…this one’s for you! Come for the hot takes! Stay for the solidarity!
