Episode description

Have you ever found yourself parenting your parent... or being treated like a child long after you've mastered paying taxes and keeping a houseplant alive? In this episode, we unpack the fascinating (and sometimes frustrating) parent-child, child-parent, and parent-parent dynamics that can quietly shape our relationships.

From adult children managing their parents' lives, to parents who just can't stop parenting, to those rare moments when everyone manages to relate as equal adults, we're diving into the messy, emotional, and often hilarious realities of family roles. Along the way, we share our own experiences, discuss the challenges of setting boundaries, and explore what happens when the family script gets flipped.

Whether you're still getting unsolicited life advice, helping your parents navigate modern life, or trying to figure out where the lines should be, this episode will probably feel very familiar.
