The Christmas rush has officially brought a new generational conflict: Grandparenting on Eggshells. We unpack the tension between teaching kids bodily autonomy and avoiding the Grandma guilt trip. Plus, where did all the weird kids go? We blame late-stage capitalism, social media surveillance, and a collective fear of deviance for the new conformity epidemic. And, our hosts have had a few epiphanies this week. Between sending your kids on an errand and rewatching a Christmas classic, we're realising just how much the mental load has increased for parents. Our Recommendations: Amelia is all about sending kids to get a coffee. Empowering your little ones with a simple errand. Stacey recommends making a fruit cake; it's showy, it's healthy and it's wayyy easier than actually baking. Monz wants you to rewatch Home Alone as an adult.
