Do you find yourself feeling extra wobbly when you're parenting in front of other people? Do you care what strangers think when your kid is having a meltdown in the grocery store or at grandma's house? Us too, friends! US TOO. Why is it so hard to hold onto ourselves/our parenting values/the ground beneath us when we're parenting in front of other people? And how else might we think about these moments?

Tune in to hear us talk about:

🙄 The icky part of parents commiserating with other parents.

🏆 The twisty need we have for our kids to "behave" in public to validate our parenting.

🤹 The trickiness of toggling multiple roles at once.

🫧 How kids disrupt, for good and for bad, our bubbles built on "adult" social rules.

🚨 The unique threats for disabled parents when parenting in public.

🔭 2 reframes we're practicing for fraught parenting-in-public moments.
