  2. Changing Family Dynamics (When Everyone Outgrows Everything)

    Changing Family Dynamics (When Everyone Outgrows Everything)

    Families change. Kids grow. Parents shrink (emotionally… and sometimes literally). And suddenly your house feels like it’s playing musical chairs with bedrooms, traditions, and everyone’s feelings. In this episode, Sunny and Lindsay dive headfirst into the hilarious, tender, and sometimes totally overwhelming reality of changing family dynamics. Sunny kicks things off with the big news: her teenage boys officially need their own rooms, which means the beloved guest room is OUT. And her parents? Their long holiday visits just got a lot… shorter. No more multi-day visits where everyone settles in—now it’s more of a quick “Hi! Merry Christmas! Here’s some pie! Okay, bye!” vibe. Meanwhile, Lindsay reveals what it’s like to suddenly realize you’re the matriarch. (Yes. HER.) With grown kids moving to opposite corners of the country, she’s learning how to parent adults, let go of old traditions, and graciously accept that holidays now come with flight schedules, group chats, and maybe a backup ham. Together, they laugh (a lot) and get real about:✨ Kids who grow… and take the good bedrooms with them✨ The weird grief of realizing your house is no longer the holiday headquarters✨ Becoming the “grown-up” grown-up (ugh)✨ Building new traditions you actually like✨ Why change always comes with a side of feelings—and usually a side of humor, too And now they want to hear YOUR stories. What’s shifting in your home? What’s already changed? What curveballs are headed your way that you totally didn’t see coming?

    When Your Grown Kid Moves Back Home

    This week on Good Mom, Lindsay accidentally goes live mid–bite (classic 🤣) and we roll right into a very real conversation many parents are facing today: What do you do when your grown child moves back home? 🏡💬 Lindsay shares a story about her friend’s 23-year-old daughter who moved back after college—now more independent, more adult, and… not exactly interested in contributing at home. 😅Cue the tension, the questions, and the “Wait… what do we do now?” moments. Sunny jumps in with some great perspective, including:✨ Why expectations matter (especially if you didn’t set them before they moved in)✨ How to create “conditions of satisfaction” instead of strict parent-child rules✨ How to talk to your adult kids like adults—not like they’re still 8 years old✨ Why boundaries actually help them become independent✨ And why it’s okay (and healthy!) to ask, “So… what’s your plan for moving out again?” 😉 We also get into:👩‍👧 How you have changed while they were away👀 Why old labels (“you always get car sick!”) don’t help anyone🧩 How to open tough conversations with respect, timing, and intention🏠 And how multigenerational living can be beautiful—as long as everyone feels respected. This episode is packed with honesty, humor, and those “Oh wow, that’s so true” parenting moments. Whether your boomerang kid is already back home or you see the writing on the wall (👀 looking at you, Sunny’s 13-year-old), this one’s for you. 💛
