When it comes to dating, parents spot the warning signs long before their grown kids do. From disrespectful communication and financial messes to couch-surfing partners and drama-filled “situationships,” the red flags wave loud and clear—but love can make our kids blind to them.

In this episode, Leila and Karen share personal stories, break down the most common red flags in adult children’s relationships, and talk about how parents can respond without pushing their kids further into bad choices.

👉 Takeaways:

• Red flags are patterns, not one-time mistakes.
• Parents can guide, not control—ask questions instead of giving lectures.
• “A piece of a person” isn’t better than noone at all.
• Your role isn’t to eliminate pain, but to prepare your child to handle it.

Because if love is blind, then parents have the best view of the warning signs.
