This week, we’re talking about the kind of stories that make moms everywhere shake their heads and say, “What the H***” One of our sons decided a ridiculous tattoo was a great idea (spoiler: it wasn’t), and another thought sneaking into abandoned buildings was a fun weekend hobby. From ink regrets to urban adventures, we’re sharing the laughs, the gasps, and the FOOLISH! Moments that come with our boys who keep life interesting. Grab your coffee—or wine—and join us for some good old-fashioned mom talk.

In this laugh-out-loud episode, we dive into the hilariously confusing world of reverse parenting—when our adult children decide it’s their job to teach us how to be responsible grown-ups! From lectures about relationships to unsolicited advice on handling our health (as if we haven’t been doing it for decades), we share the absurd moments when our kids take charge and treat us like clueless rookies in the game of life.

Karen and Leila sit down for an honest conversation about the unseen sacrifices parents make—those quiet, everyday choices that our children may never fully grasp. They take a deep dive into the meaning of sacrifice, as Karen opens up about her personal struggle with feeling responsible for the way her children behave.

Together, they explore the different ways parents give of themselves, from time and energy to emotional and financial support, all while reflecting on the thoughts and attitudes of their kids. This is a lighthearted yet deeply relatable discussion that every parent will understand.

It’s a wrap! 🎬 In our season one finale of These Can’t Be My Kids, we take a joyful, honest stroll through the past ten weeks—from the laughs to the chaos, the deep breaths to the side-eyes. We’re reflecting on the wild ride, the parenting moments that nearly broke us (but made for great content), and the incredible community that’s kept us going.

Thank you for riding shotgun on this unpredictable journey. We're taking a short break to recharge, regroup, and come back stronger (and probably louder) for season two.

Tune in, laugh with us, and see if you caught the same jaw-dropping audacity—or if a whole new one jumped out and grabbed you by the edges.

Disclaimer: Hey fam! Just a heads-up — sometimes we’re out here filming in the wild (literally or figuratively), and that means the audio might sound like we’re underwater or the video might look like it was shot on a potato. 😅

But listen — perfection isn’t the goal, consistency is! We’re committed to bringing y’all content no matter where we are, even if it means battling bad Wi-Fi, rogue background noise, or a camera that refuses to focus. Thanks for sticking with us through the chaos — y’all are the real MVPs! 💪❤️

In this segment of It’s the Audacity for Me, Karen shares how her peaceful moment was hijacked by her two grown sons—900 miles away—who decided to meet up in the park to settle a mystery beef with fists. She still doesn’t know what they were fighting about, but the drama? The audacity? This is parenting in real life. If your kids have ever acted up while you’re just trying to survive, this one’s for you. #TheseCantBeMyKids #TriggeredTiredTryingAnyway #ParentingUnfiltered #TheAudacity
