Raised or Just Fed

A roof over your head. Food on the table. Clothes on your back. Lights that stayed on. But was that enough to say you were raised? In this episode of Cooley & The Gang, we're having a grown-folk conversation about parenting, responsibility, and the difference between providing for children and preparing them for life. Who really raised you? Was it your parents, grandparents, family members, or somebody outside your household who stepped up when it mattered? We're getting into discipline, giving children a voice, the influence of social media, changing parenting styles, and the life skills every generation needs. We're also asking some uncomfortable questions: Are we doing better than our parents, or overcorrecting for what we experienced growing up? And at what point does responsibility shift from the parent to the adult child? This isn't about declaring one generation right and another wrong. It's about examining what we were taught, what we've changed, and what we're passing down. Join the conversation: Who helped raise you, and what's one lesson you wish you'd learned before becoming an adult?
