Summary

Today we’re diving headfirst into the wild world of parenting—specifically, the fine line between gentle parenting and “I’m about to lose it” parenting. And listen, we’re not here to shame anyone. How do we keep our cool when our kids are tap-dancing on our last nerve? How do we set boundaries without crushing their little spirits?

This episode is for every parent who’s whispered affirmations one minute and rage-texted their best friend the next. We’re not here to preach—we’re here to keep it real, laugh through the chaos, and talk about what it actually looks like to parent with love and limits.

0:19.0	Here we are once again. With my Aaliyah. Guys, I need to borrow that shirt. Actually, you were supposed to bring me my shoes that I left to you? You know what? I meant to bring them to you and I absolutely looked at them before I left and said, I got to take those with me and forgot to put them into my car. Sorry, this. Nice. I'm happy you brought those shoes out to play. Those are sexy. They're cute, right? Super sexy. Very comfortable. Yeah, very comfortable. Anyway, squad, how we doing? We got a lot to talk about today, squad. There's a lot of things swirling around us. A lot of things swirling. Number one thing swirling is the Diddy verdict. Okay. Is that your rant? Huh? Is that your rant? It's really not my rant. I shouldn't even be really ranting about. Like, I shouldn't even let. We knew you were going to come in here. Hot. I was, I've been following the ditty case since it started.
1:13.9	There's a guy on, on TikTok called Mike's Law.
1:17.8	And he is, he covers it every day and he is so neutral in his approach because I believe he's a paralegal.

Like he would, so I like my thought because he lets people come up to like he, he's all, you can't see his face when he's live on TikTok. You just hear his voice. But he lets people come up and give their opinion on like, you know, what they think, what they think is right, what they think is wrong.
1:48.1	So a lot of people think Diddy is not guilty and a lot of people think he's guilty.
1:53.2	It's surprisingly.
1:54.5	So then it's 50-50.
1:56.2	So surprisingly, the people that, the audience that I would hear come up on Mike's Law lives on TikTok were men that are like, no, he's not guilty.
2:05.4	And then the people that thought he was guilty were women.
2:09.6	And it kind of makes sense.
2:10.5	That doesn't surprise me.
2:11.5	It doesn't surprise me.
2:12.6	So when I heard the verdict and, you know, like that he was found not guilty on three of the five charges I was disappointed
