We just want to say thank you so much for leaving us a review. It might be your review that

catches someone else's attention that needs this podcast. Thank you. You are listening to Feeding

The Mouth That Bites You with Ashley Parrish and Jessica Pfeiffer. A weekly podcast guide on

parenting teens and launching them into the world. As always, we are joined by psychologist and author,

Dr. Ken Wilkes.

Hey, everyone and welcome back. On today's episode, we will be discussing common objections parents have with plan emancipation. Ashley, you know, we hear some from our listeners and then,

of course, in our own homes, things that we think, I don't know if Dr.

Ken is right on this one.

He's a little off on this.

A lot of parents have have objections to things that Dr.

Ken has said.

And so we kind of want to cover some of those and help you to know that you're not alone.

There are other parents saying, I don't know about that.

But then also hear what Dr. Ken has to say about it, his defense. It's a little bit like a

courtroom, Dr. Ken. And it's true that, you know, the objections that I hear, which are pretty

common, I heard objections in my own house for my wife. They're not unreasonable. So,

you know, people that are uncertain about what's being talked about, it's not like your way

out there. There's objections that seem reasonable, but actually in the long run, if you think

it through, hopefully, you'll see that it's not as obvious

an objection as you think. So we'll see. And it makes me think of when you meet a new married

couple and they'll say something real sweetly, like we'll have children when we're financially

ready. And everybody who's had children like giggles, you know, because you're like, right.
