In this episode of Jewish Boy Calls His Mother, I sit down with my mother to dive into the balance between parenting and maintaining our own identities. We talk about why setting boundaries is so important, how kids need space to express themselves, and how parenting styles have changed over time. We share some reflections on what it's like from both sides—being a child and then becoming a parent—and explore the need for parents to take time for themselves, especially with all the pressures that come with raising kids today.
