Summary

Back in our day, “discipline” came flying in the form of a slipper. Today? It’s all screen time bans and “go to your room.” This week on Sheena Interrupted, we’re comparing life THEN vs NOW…from parenting and punishments to phone calls, freedom, and why Sheena thinks rolling down a hill was peak childhood.

It’s nostalgia meets nonsense: old-school beatings, modern meltdowns, and a debate about whether kids today could survive the 90s.
