Your toddler didn't come with a manual. Neither does your teenager and honestly? It's so much weirder.Cat & Nat are back pulling absolutely zero punches on the part of parenting nobody talks about: the older kids. The ones who can technically do their own laundry but somehow still can't. This week they're getting into garbage-bag parenting tactics, the totally different puzzle that is every single kid you raise, and the absolute fever dream of teaching a teenager to drive.Spoiler: someone gripped the dashboard. Someone else may have cried.Come for the chaos. Stay for the moment you realize you're not alone and maybe, just maybe, you're doing okay. Even if your dishwasher is still half-empty.

We had a realization mid-recording: phones are basically raising a generation and most parents aren't ready for it. In this episode, we're unpacking what your child's device habits actually reveal about their sleep, mood, and mental health, and why understanding those patterns is your new parenting superpower. We're also shifting the conversation from "no phones" to building real digital self-control because rules without awareness don't stick. We dive into how tools like Aura Parents are helping families decode their kids' digital lives, from screen pickups to offline time, so you can parent with data, not just gut instinct. If you're tired of guessing, this one's for you.
