For The Girl

Parenting Hot Takes: Sleep Training, Vaccines, Public Schools, Discipline, and more!


Listen Later

This week, we’re diving into all the spicy opinions we didn’t know we had until becoming moms! From piercing baby ears to co-sleeping, sleep training, and screen time, we’re sharing our honest (and maybe controversial) thoughts on all the “shoulds” that come with raising littles. Whether you’re deep in diaper duty or just curious what kind of moms we are, this episode is equal parts candid, spicy, and kind.

We hope this one makes you laugh, feel seen, and know you’re not alone—even if your parenting choices look totally different than ours. We’re all just figuring it out, and that’s more than okay.

[24:00] Grace over perfection – the motto we’re learning to live by
[27:15] Church + childcare – navigating Sunday rhythms with little ones
[30:10] Spanking – our honest thoughts on discipline and alternatives
[36:45] Public vs. private school – praying through the decision
[43:30] Vaccines – our personal experiences and how we’re navigating it all
[50:20] Final thoughts – trusting God in the unknowns of parenting
