Description

Rosie thought teenagers sleep all day, Roula says otherwise. Cue a debate that spirals into what parenting really takes from you: time, freedom, and sometimes your sanity.

In this episode, we dig into the reality of raising kids at different stages, why parents never really โ€œget more time back,โ€ and how important it is to keep a sense of self outside of being Mum or Dad. From teenagers who never seem to leave the house to the pressures parents pile on themselves, nothing is off limits.

We also chat about shifting roles as kids grow older, unhealthy parenting styles that enable dependence, and why itโ€™s so damn hard to balance freedom with family.

How do you balance being a parent with keeping your own identity?
