Politics & Parenting: Keeping the Peace at Home
Politics + family = 🔥 ...and not the good kind.
In this episode of Good Mom, Lindsay and Sunny tackle one of the trickiest topics for any household: how to navigate political differences without losing your mind—or your relationships. Whether it’s intense dinner table debates, unsolicited “educational” books from grandparents 😬, or just trying to keep the peace around the kids, this conversation is all about keeping love front and center... even when you completely disagree.
💬 Lindsay shares:
“I don’t do hate. I do listening, I do local action, and I focus on creating the kind of world I actually want to live in. And if people think I’m ‘crazy’ for that? So be it.”
💬 Sunny adds:
“We can teach our kids the structure of our government—without the spin. They don’t need propaganda. They need tools to think for themselves and follow their hearts.”
