"Lucy Lopez, Elizabeth Newcamp, and Zak Rosen want you to know that you're still a great parent, even if you don't sit by your kids' bedside to gently wake them up. It's okay!"
"The 'Rents sit down and debunk some of those pretty parenting tips you see all the time on Instagram. You know the ones. They have a really aesthetic, soothing background, and then say something wild like "Meaningfully listen to everything your kid says." We can try to gentle it up all the time BUT sometimes we just don't care what the kids are saying! Come for the debunking, stay for a relatable venting session."
"Then, they answer a listener question: Is it okay for a parent's daughter, who is very interested in learning about other cultures, to have a Sari/Saree? They want to nurture the interest but is it culturally appropriate? Podcast production by Cheyna Roth. Video production by Micah Phillips. Follow us on YouTube!

Parents remain great even if they do not perform every aesthetically idealized parenting action, such as sitting by a child's bedside to gently wake them. Many popular Instagram parenting tips present unrealistic expectations, urging constant gentle listening and performative rituals. Setting boundaries and choosing not to engage in constant emotional labor does not make someone a bad parent. A parent asks whether a daughter deeply interested in other cultures may wear a sari/saree and whether allowing that interest is culturally appropriate.
