Parenting Your Parents: The Role Reversal We Didn’t Ask For

👵➡️👧 What do you do when the people who raised you now need raising themselves?

In this episode of Good Mom, Sunny and Lindsay dive into the beautifully messy world of parenting your parents—how it starts, why it’s so tricky, and when to lovingly back off and let mom smoke the dang cigarette (or not... you'll see).

✨ Highlights include:

  • Sunny’s realization: “Wait... I don’t do that with my parents—should I feel guilty?”

  • Lindsay’s wisdom from caring for three family members (and her wild ride with stubborn elders)

  • When offering help feels like picking a fight

  • Why curiosity > control when having hard conversations

  • And how we’re all still learning to stop, drop, and roll... emotionally, anyway

Plus: a hilarious riff on VCRs, passive-aggressive doctor visits, and how to support without smothering. Whether you’re mid-parenting yourself, your kids, or your own parents—this one will hit home.

💛 Listen in for laughs, real talk, and a gentle reminder that love sometimes looks like letting go.
