Ep 32. From Corner Stores to Cul-de-Sacs
In this episode of B-Rich Family Chronicles, we share a real-life glimpse into a hectic day where we barely saw each other. From juggling busy schedules to noticing how allergies seem worse today than when we were kids, to swapping stories about past concussions. The girls take a trip through the city and reflect on how different their experience is in suburban life. Sparking a bigger conversation about raising kids in the suburbs and leading us to think: Did we make the right choice moving away from the city? Are our children missing out on culture and community by not growing up around people who look like them? We also dive into how the “street code” has changed over the years, the way cell phones are shaping everyday life, and how we approach parenting differently when it comes to giving our kids freedom.Follow & Subscribe:🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your favorite podcast app!!💬 Are you a free-range or helicopter parent?Connect with us on:📲 Instagram: @brichfamilychronicles~ Facebook: B-Rich Family Chronicles ~ TikTok: @brich.family~ X (formally Twitter): @BRichFamily 💌: [email protected]
