What do parents really mean when they say, “I sacrificed everything for you”? In this episode of Real Moms Talk, we watched this reel by @Yuktha and unpacked guilt, victimhood, boundaries, and the quiet emotional patterns we pass on to our children without realising it. From Indian parenting culture and generational guilt to kids questioning parents and parents learning from their kids, this conversation moves between funny, uncomfortable, reflective, and deeply relatable.

Whether you’re a mom navigating boundaries, unlearning people-pleasing, or just wondering why your child sounds exactly like you, this episode feels like therapy with friends.

In this episode we talked about:

• Why moms slip into “sacrifice mode” and how it creates guilt cycles
• How kids mirror our behaviour back at us (sometimes uncomfortably well 😅)
• Is parenthood really a choice or a generational expectation?
• How guilt shows up in Indian households
• How our children reveal who we really are as parents
