It's Monday AKA Mailbag Monday 🙌 📩 In this episode of the JTrain podcast, Jared dives deep into a listener's dilemma about dealing with their best friend's misbehaving kids during a vacation. Jared offers a nuanced approach, advising the listener to separate opinions from facts, particularly when addressing behaviors like the "slam the door" game. He humorously reflects on how he might navigate such a situation as an outsider without kids, focusing on being inquisitive rather than accusatory. Jared emphasizes understanding the dynamics of different parenting styles and how, despite differing approaches, friendship remains strong as long as communication is open.

He also discusses how people often turn to clinical explanations as a defense mechanism when confronted about their kids' behavior. Jared shares how he'd handle the situation by asking questions like, "Do you play slam the door at home?" and suggests addressing the issue with humor and curiosity rather than judgment. This episode offers a mix of practical advice and laughs, reminding listeners that even in the trickiest situations, there's always a way to maintain the friendship.

Plus, Jared touches on the concept of "emotional masturbation," where people get ahead of themselves in relationships, trying to impress or avoid rejection by planning elaborate events. He explores how this can sometimes lead to frustration and shares his thoughts on managing expectations and social dynamics.
