🎙️ HEY OTHER PARENTS - S02E016: Everyday Parenting Struggles: From Mealtime Meltdowns to Screen Time Negotiations

This week on Hey Other Parents, we’re diving into the everyday battles parents fight with their kids—from mealtime meltdowns to screen time negotiations and the eternal struggle of getting out the door on time. If you’ve ever had to argue about one more bite, five more minutes of screen time, or why socks are apparently optional in winter, this episode is for you... and what's with the turtle fight after dinner?

What We Discuss:

🔥 Mealtime Wars – Why do kids suddenly hate food they loved last week?

📱 Screen Time Standoffs – “I can’t pause it, it’s online!”

😴 The Bedtime Battle – “I need water!” “I have a question!” “One more story!”

🎒 Morning Mayhem – The mysterious disappearance of one shoe every morning.

📚 Homework Horror – The “I have no homework” lie… until bedtime.

🥊 Sibling Showdowns – “She’s looking at me!” / “He’s breathing on me!”
