The Kids Are Feral, The Moon Is Closer, and I Built a Fort
Description
In this solo episode of Suburban Burnout, Megan gets real (and a little sarcastic) about modern parenting myths, cosmic energy, generational blame, and why building a fort with your kids might be more therapeutic than your last therapy session.
She dives into the generational Olympics of blame: from unsupervised kids on the playground to why Millennials were once labeled “the lazy workforce” but are now apparently “too soft” with their kids. Spoiler alert: We are the helicopter mom, the bulldozer mom, free range mom, lighthouse mom and wine mom. So, why are people quick to blame Millennials once again for being lazy.
We’ll also unpack the November supermoon (yes, it was the closest one to Earth until 2034), the emotional contrast between Lily Allen and Taylor Swift’s music, and why throwing some couch cushions on the floor and building a fort might be exactly what your nervous system needs.
✨ Featuring: stats, pop culture commentary, Dr. Karla callback moments, and parenting insights with just the right amount of sass.
Topics include:
– Why are we blaming Millennials for lazy parenting (and how that’s going for us)
– What a supermoon can teach you about parenting presence
– Adult music as therapy: Taylor Swift vs Lily Allen
– How play, movement, and connection regulate your kid’s (and your) nervous system
– A heartfelt fort-building confession
Come for the cosmic parenting metaphors, stay for the fort story. This episode is for the parents who are doing their best, showing up messy, and maybe blaming the moon instead of themselves.
