161: Our Unpopular Parenting Choices

Parenting in Real Life

In this episode of Parenting in Real Life, we discuss three unpopular parenting opinions. We talk about monitoring our children's candy consumption, our thoughts on smartphones or social media for our kids, and whether we pay or don't pay our own kids when they babysit. And then we throw in a few more.
