We Survived The 90s...Now We Are The Parents!


Listen Later

We survived drinking from the hose, riding around without cell phones, and parents having absolutely no clue where we were until the streetlights came on… and somehow, we lived to tell the story.

In this episode, we’re taking a nostalgic trip back to the 90s and comparing what parenting looked like then versus now. From MapQuest and dial-up internet to Life360 and constant connection, we’re talking about how much parenting—and being a kid—has completely changed.

And honestly? Some things were simpler… but not everything from the 90s would survive today.


Real Talk Question:

What’s the craziest thing you did as a kid that we wouldn’t let our own kids do?


Episode Highlights:

  • What Did “Old” Look Like in the 90s?

  • Pressure on Women: Then vs. Now

  • What We Miss Most About the 90s

  • Life360 Changed Everything

  • What We Learned from Our Parents

  • 90s Struggles Today’s Kids Will Never Understand


Reflection Question for Listeners: What’s one thing from growing up in the 90s you wish your kids could experience today?


We may laugh about how different life was in the 90s, but underneath the nostalgia is something bigger—connection, resilience, freedom, and learning how to parent in a world that looks nothing like the one we grew up in.

And somehow… we’re figuring it out one generation at a time.
