Description

Gwenna and Tori are back for another episode, this time diving in their relationships with their kids. They kick off with a listener email about feeling overwhelmed with the up and down nature of parenting; and how hard it can be to live up to your own expectation of being a good parent. Then they pose the question: Is it appropriate to be your kids' friend? They share their thoughts on how having a connection with your children can be a tricky responsibility to navigate, and why it’s important that the relationship remains friendly but doesn’t quite reach BFF level. After that, the get into their favorite family time activities, and how even fun time can offer opportunities to bond, learn, and relax (and why Monopoly is the WORST).
