Raising 90s Kids in 2026 🎙️

How do you give your kids the childhood you loved when they’re growing up in a completely different world?

In this episode of The Waddling Truth, we’re talking about the weird balance of raising kids in 2026 while trying to hold onto some of the best parts of growing up in the 90s.

We’re talking playing outside until the streetlights come on, letting kids actually be BORED, chores and raising capable future adults, screen-time limits, tablets, technology, AI—and why I don’t think the answer is pretending any of it doesn’t exist.

Plus, kitchen dance parties, drinking from the hose, kids who refuse to charge their own tablets, a little chaos, and naturally… some technical difficulties. 😂

Because at the end of the day, I keep coming back to one question:

What kind of adults are we trying to raise?

We definitely don’t have parenting figured out, but maybe that’s kind of the point.

🎧 Listen to the full episode and then tell us: What’s one thing from YOUR childhood that you’re making sure your kids get to experience?

Welcome, Waddlers. You’re not alone. 🤍

Can you say "no" to your doctor? Can you ask for a second opinion? What are your rights during pregnancy?

In this episode of The Waddling Truth, we discuss the recent Fort Cavazos OB-GYN investigation and use it as a starting point for a much bigger conversation: patient advocacy.

We share why every expecting mom should know her rights, how to speak up when something doesn't feel right, when it's okay to ask questions, request a chaperone, or seek another opinion, and why finding your voice before a crisis matters.

Whether you're pregnant, planning a family, or supporting someone who is, this episode is a reminder that you are your baby's first advocate—and your voice matters.

In this episode of The Waddling Truth, we're sharing the pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting hills we're willing to die on. From labor and delivery to newborns, postpartum recovery, and motherhood, we're saying the quiet parts out loud.

Whether you agree with every take or only a few, we hope this episode reminds you that there isn't just one "right" way to be a parent.

What hill are you willing to die on? We'd love to hear it.

🤍 Welcome, Waddlers. You're not alone.

The second you're pregnant, everyone starts calling your husband a dad. Future dad. Soon-to-be daddy. But when Mother's Day rolls around? Suddenly it's, "Well technically, you're not a mom yet."

Excuse me... then who's been growing an entire human for the last several months?

In this episode, we're diving into the hilarious double standard of pregnancy holidays, why expecting moms already deserve to be celebrated, and why this debate gets people so fired up.

So tell us: If dads get Father's Day while their partner is pregnant... should pregnant women get Father's Day too? 👀

Pregnancy has a way of turning even the calmest husbands into nervous little raccoons.

In this episode, we're answering some of the funniest, most unhinged questions we've ever received from dads and soon-to-be dads.

From kidney stones vs. labor, to whether sex actually induces labor, to what the 5-1-1 rule really means, we're breaking down the myths, sharing real experiences, and having a lot of laughs along the way.

Whether you're expecting your first baby or your fifth, this episode is proof that nobody really knows what they're doing—and that's okay.

Grab your favorite drink, settle in, and join us for another honest conversation about pregnancy, parenthood, and everything in between.
