What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms

Oops! My Kid Hates Me


Listen Later

Right now your kid doesn't like you. At all. What is really going on? And how can we respond without losing our cool, even when our feelings are genuinely hurt?

In this episode Amy and Margaret discuss:

  • Why kids say “I hate you” (and why it’s rarely about you)
  • How to handle boundary-testing without escalating conflict
  • The importance of letting kids push against limits... while holding firm to those limits
  • Keeping connection strong during high-conflict moments
  • Balancing correction with genuine positive interactions
  • Here are some of the resources mentioned in the episode:
