    EP33: They Say New Age Grandmas "Suck". Let's Talk About It.

    NEW AGE GRANDMAS "SUCK" Apparently, the "new age grandma" is sad, selfish and doesn't show up like grandmothers used to. Well...let's talk about WHY. Today's grandmothers are still working, caring for aging parents, maintaining marriages, building businesses and living their own damn lives. And many of us are no longer willing to tolerate disrespect, entitlement or one-sided relationships just to maintain access to our children and grandchildren. In this episode, I'm talking about boundaries, reciprocity, the disappearing "village," transactional family relationships and why so much of the blame for broken family dynamics continues to fall on mothers and grandmothers. And while we're talking about these "new age grandmas"...where are the granddads in this conversation?

    EP27: What in the Fresh Hell? The Absurd Reasons Behind No Contact

    Summary In this episode of Mum's True Tea, host Kendall Lasha discusses the absurd reasons adult children give for going no contact with their parents, particularly mothers. She critiques the influence of social media and modern therapy on parenting narratives, emphasizing that affection and involvement are often misinterpreted as control or abuse. Lasha argues that the blame for adult children's struggles is unfairly placed on parents, who often provided love and support. The conversation highlights the importance of recognizing the emotional tools parents provide and the need to reclaim parental identity amidst societal pressures. Takeaways Moms are often blamed for their children's issues. Adult children use therapy as an excuse for estrangement. Affection from parents is misinterpreted as smothering. Generational wealth is misunderstood in parenting contexts. Social media influences perceptions of parenting negatively. Involvement in children's lives is not narcissism. Healing should focus on honesty, not manipulation. The phrase 'I didn't ask to be born' is problematic. Parents often struggle to provide while being blamed. True wealth includes emotional support and life skills.
