My crummy tl;dr - Intensive parenting and social media parenting shit making us feel guilty for everything. Previous generations parenting was going about life with the kid doing whatever on their own. Now we are on the floor with them always in their business thinking and preparing ten steps ahead
I’m curious what parents of kids 5+ think of this. At one point in the podcast, someone says, “Bigger kids, bigger problems is what they say. It becomes less physically demanding, but it’s more mentally demanding.”
My kids are 4 and under, so I’m definitely in a phase where they are physically demanding.
Parenting is hard. As much as I would like them to be, kids are not perfect little robots that do everything you tell them too. I probably should call my parents and apologize for the hell I put them through.
