So What Now? with Carla and Dex

EP 24: The Parenting Debate "Do Kids Need Their Own Room?" + Friendship Breakups? We Went There!


Listen Later

Hey Friend! 

Quick update: Carla’s allergies are finally under control, and I’m feeling better too—my back’s on the mend, so no more grandpa groans when I bend over. Small wins, y’all. 

Now, onto the episode. We dive into a topic that’s real for any of us with kids who split time between two homes—should children have their own bedroom at the non-custodial parent’s house? Carla, with her money grows on trees mentality, thinks it’s a must. Like, we all have the luxury of giving each kid their own room, right? But I’m out here saying, a kid can still feel welcome and loved without having their own space. The key is making them feel at home however you can. 

And then, we get into another tough letter from one of our listeners. Anonymous writer is feeling guilty but “over it” because she thinks she’s outgrown her drama-filled best friend. Now, Carla's over here like, “New besties are easy to find!” (So optimistic, huh?) Meanwhile, I think a real, honest conversation is the way to go before cutting ties. Don’t ghost your home girl—talk it out.

That’s it for this week—tune in and let us know what you think. And if you’ve got any tough conversations you’re putting off, we definitely wanna hear about ‘em.

Catch ya later, Dex
