Don't tell the kids... once you know, you can't un-know.

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

You know that feeling when something in your gut won't quiet down, even when every "expert" in the room is telling you you're overreacting? This week we go there. We start where we always do — somewhere completely random, this time Dirty Dancing and the back rooms where men used to go rent their, ahem, movies — and somehow end up on the stuff that actually keeps us up at night. How different it is to raise kids now that everything is in their pocket. The conversations about porn and Snapchat and AI we never imagined we'd have to have. And then the one that cracked us both open: the day one of our boys had a vaccine reaction, the way a mother just *knows* her child has changed, and what it's like to be told you're wrong by someone who met your kid once.This isn't us telling you what to think. It's just two moms being honest about following our intuition, the books we couldn't put down, and the terrifying, freeing thing that happens once you start asking questions — you can't go back to not knowing.Pour the coffee. We're so glad you're here.
