#157 - Screw the kids

🎧 NEW PODCAST EPISODEEpisode 157 - Screw the kidsAndy and Roger confront the great Australian pastime: feeling conflicted about housing. Kicking off with Roger’s feverish tales of toddler sleep regression, the episode spirals into a confessional therapy session on modern parenting—comparing boomer belt threats to contemporary bedtime negotiations. From four-kid fatigue to the economics of making your own bed, they reflect on how generational shifts have redefined both authority and exhaustion.Things then shift gears to a particularly spicy listener question—should homeowners feel guilty about rising property prices and opposing apartment blocks in their 'leafy suburbs'? The duo unpacks NIMBYism, intergenerational wealth transfer, the "vibe" of suburbs, and why Australians struggle to separate homes from status. There’s a spirited debate on boomer economics, Gen Z victimhood, tiny homes, granny flats, and even the philosophical implications of R.V. life.No solutions, just vibes—and maybe a gentle reminder that empathy and Deliveroo porches are what really matter.Hashtags:#HousingCrisis #NIMBY #AustralianHousing #BoomersVsMillennials #ParentingFatigue #GenZStruggles #LeafySuburbs #RealEstateAustralia #TinyHomes #GrannyFlats #WealthInequality #AndyAndRoger #PodcastDiscussion #ModernParenting #PropertyPrices #SocialCommentaryEngage with us on social media:Website:http://themiddle.site/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/the_middle_podcast/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@themiddlepodcastandyrogerFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/people/The-Middle-Podcast/100089236832534/Twitter:https://twitter.com/TheMiddlePCEmail:[email protected] up to our subscriber email list:Visit our website: http://themiddle.site/Or click: https://forms.gle/4qATmU2yiHgjZrej8
