Don't Tell the Kids...Friendships can be tricky and Foot Fetishes are Real

from Don't Tell the Kids · host Melanie Hunter & Siobhan Lee

Friendships as an adult are… complicated. Not middle-school complicated. Not “she sat at another lunch table” complicated. More like real life, grown-up, navigating divorce, boundaries, busy kids, and limited social battery complicated.In this episode we start with a simple question that quickly turns into a full spiral: what happens when a couple you know gets divorced… and suddenly you’re hearing from both of them? Are you supposed to pick a side? Pretend you didn’t get the text? Offer your guest room? Or just suggest a casual lunch and hope no one feels weird about it?From there we wander (as usual) into the strange world of adult friendships — the ones you talk to every day, the ones you only text memes to once a year, the ones you slowly drift away from, and the rare, awkward reality of actually breaking up with a friend. Because sometimes protecting your energy becomes more important than keeping every relationship intact.And then… somehow… we end up talking about foot fetishes. Because apparently if you post one innocent photo with your foot in the frame, the internet has thoughts.So if you’ve ever wondered why friendships feel different in your 30s and 40s, questioned your boundaries, ghosted your phone for a week to regain your sanity, or been deeply confused by the corners of the internet you accidentally discovered… this one’s for you.Press play, come hang out with us for a bit, and as always… don’t tell the kids.
