Description

There’s nothing quite like the internet to make you feel like a sh*t parent when you’re just trying to raise a toddler and post the occasional cute video. And look, we get it - people mean well. But when Kel shares a moment from life with her three year old and ends up fielding DMs diagnosing him with autism, it starts to feel less like support and more like unsolicited parenting advice from strangers on the internet. In this episode, we’re talking boundaries, overdiagnosis, and the emotional whiplash of parenting publicly in the age of constant commentary.
