🎧 Episode 3: Rules Are Made To Be...Questioned?

Rules—they’re everywhere. From what time you get home to whether or not you really need to wear a jacket. In this episode of I Get It From My Mom, Elissa, Ava, and Maggie sit down for a spirited and funny conversation about the rules that shape our homes, our choices, and our sanity.

They dig into:

✅ The real reason parents make safety rules (hint: it’s not just to ruin your night)
✅ Why some rules feel arbitrary and how teens really feel about them
✅ How expectations shift between siblings—and whether younger kids have it easier
✅ What happens when there are too many (or too few) rules in a family

From bedtime battles to Uber protocols to clean-room debates, this episode unpacks how rules evolve, how they’re enforced, and why the best ones actually prepare you for life.

🎧 Listen now and decide for yourself—are these rules totally fair, or just plain frustrating?

🔹 Takeaways & Challenges:
📌 Parents—explain the why behind your rules. You might get more buy-in than you think.
📌 Teens—ask yourself: “Am I annoyed by the rule, or do I just not like being told what to do?” (👀)
📌 Everyone—think about the balance between structure and freedom. Are your household rules setting you up to thrive?
