In this episode, we sit down with my mother in law to talk about parenting—before, during, and after the baby years. She had five kids (even though she only planned for two!) and somehow managed to raise us all with love, structure, and a sense of humor.We talk about: • How she stayed calm through pregnancy and raising little ones • The importance of parents staying on the same page • Letting kids help out early and why it builds character • Keeping kids busy (and out of trouble) • How faith helped guide her through parenting • Why it’s okay to admit you don’t have control over everythingShe shares what worked, what didn’t, and how she navigated parenting before Google, tracking apps, and percentile charts. If you’re a new parent feeling overwhelmed, or just curious about what lessons still hold up, this one’s for you.Don’t expect perfection. You weren’t perfect either. How do you feel about this comment, that really stuck with me.#MomAdvice #RealTalkParenting #PregnancyChat #NewMomTips #FamilyWisdom #BlackMomsMatter #ParentingWithFaith #ChoresAndCharacter #GenerationalParenting #BabyOnTheWay #RaisingKidsToday #ParentingPodcast #HonestMotherhood
