Boppy, Phone Scams & Kids These Days

This week, Melissa, Jill, and Kelly are taking a walk down memory lane — and comparing it to life with kids today who are never unplugged. From growing up without phones and social media to navigating parenting (and grandparenting!) in a digital world, the moms break down just how different things are now.They open up about how they feel when Abby posts about their kids, share whether pregnancy photo shoots were even a thing back then, and debate modern parenting rules — including how they really feel about sleepovers. Plus, Melissa reveals her grandma name (Boppy!), Jill tries to decide what her grandma name will be, and Kelly weighs in on all of it.And don’t miss Jill’s unbelievable story about being almost scammed by a phone scammer — a reminder that even the Dance Moms aren’t safe from today’s technology traps.For even more exclusive content and bonus material from the vault, join us on Patreon! patreon.com/deardancemomHave a question for the moms?
