In this episode of The Thing Doers, we dive into the glamorous world of parenting across state lines, comparing the high-stakes, fast-paced life in California with the charmingly disciplined realm of Texas. Ever wonder why kids in Texas listen to their parents and those in California seem to run wild? We've got personal anecdotes, playdate dramas, and a touch of cultural critique to keep you entertained.

But that's not all! We also tackle the modern-day dilemma of survival. Spoiler alert: constantly chasing more money and stuff might just mean you're missing out on raising decent human beings. Who knew? We question the necessity of the latest gadgets and shiny cars, pondering if our minimalist-minded selves are onto something. Join us as we sarcastically navigate the chaos of contemporary parenting, and maybe, just maybe, figure out how to raise respectful and responsible kids in today’s oh-so-demanding world.
