In this episode, Adam and Ashlee get real about devices, boundaries, and raising kids in a screen-saturated world. They unpack a viral “90s childhood” parenting trend (VCRs, landlines, no streaming, classic consoles) and talk about the difference between intentional family connection vs. parenting that turns into strict rule-based control. If you’ve ever wondered how to keep your home grounded without becoming extreme—or accidentally creating curiosity and rebellion later—this conversation is for you.They also share what’s working in their own house right now: no iPads Monday–Friday, weekend structure, and a focus on building maturity over age-based rules. Adam and Ashlee talk through ADHD, dopamine-chasing, teaching kids why boundaries exist, and how to stay consistent in public settings (especially when other parents’ rules get… complicated). Plus: media discernment, nostalgia vs. your kids’ real interests, and how to shape character through sports, discipline, and everyday decisions.--Join our AFTER I DO community for Exclusive Content & community!www.afterido.app--Have a question about relationships?
