Summary

We are running back a popular episode where Melanie, Ashley, and Codie break down a list of one-liners they found on social media that make parenting a little easier, like “you gotta do what you need to do, before you get to do what you wanna do” (a Melanie Fiona original). They also discuss teaching their kids about respect, validating their emotions while disciplining them, and giving kids autonomy in making decisions — even when they want to cuss! Throughout the convo, the mamas get a few surprise phone calls that tie right into a heartfelt Listener Letter — this is an episode you won’t want to miss! ====== Send any thoughts or questions for the Mamas at podcasts@blacklove.com or hit us up on IG at @themamasdenpodcast Make sure you connect with our Mamas: Ashley - @watermeloneggrolls Codie - @codieco Melanie - @melaniefiona
