Mom guilt is real — and for many women, it’s overwhelming.
In this powerful episode of The Dad’s Group Chat Podcast, I sit down once again with The Millennial Moms, four strong and honest mothers who return to the podcast for a real conversation about the emotional, mental, and generational pressure moms face every single day.
We get into how social media has completely shifted the way we parent, shaping expectations, discipline, and even how children respond to authority. We talk about kids no longer fearing consequences for their behavior, why traditional punishment doesn’t hit the same anymore, and how parents now feel forced to step up the grounding game just to be taken seriously.
The conversation also tackles the growing debate around soft parenting, why it doesn’t always work in real-life situations, and why constantly “counting to three” is failing to build respect or accountability. Instead, we discuss the importance of consistency, follow-through, and clear boundaries — not fear, but structure.
We also don’t shy away from tougher topics, including deadbeat dads AND deadbeat moms, parental avoidance, and how many of us are still healing from emotional neglect passed down from parents and grandparents who were never emotionally present.
This is a healing, honest, and necessary conversation for parents — especially moms who feel like they’re carrying the world alone while trying to figure out how to parent in today’s social-media-driven culture.
In this episode, we cover:
• How social media has shifted modern parenting
• Why kids aren’t responding to punishment the same way
• The problem with counting to three and empty threats
• Why soft parenting doesn’t always work
• Stepping up discipline without becoming harsh or abusive
• Why both moms and dads can be emotionally absent or avoidant
• Breaking generational cycles of emotional neglect
Parenthood isn’t just about raising children — it’s about rewriting generational patterns.
If you’re a parent who’s ever felt guilt, pressure, confusion, or burnout navigating discipline in today’s world… this episode is for you.
