This episode is week 23 of our series on PARENTING.

Meagan and Jeff continue their parenting series by diving into the important foundational ideas they keep in mind while parenting big kids. Jeff gives his opinion on how respect should work. Meagan gets honest about preparing for the weird questions that kids are going to ask.

What are some weird questions you've gotten from your kiddos? Qhat are some natural consequences you've seen on this journey? Let us know!

We want to reiterate that this series is about the choices we have made and that we understand that life looks different for everyone. We share these choices with zero judgement and hope that you can feel confident in your choices but also in the choice to sometimes take tips from other places - just like we did (mostly Bluey!).

We also hope to see you back even if you aren't parenting any kiddos - because where we go from here has a lot to do with who we are as people and what we have learned and are learning about life. Stay and join the conversation with us.

This week's random topic is movie theater experiences.

Meagan and Jeff talk about the magic of going to the movie theater and share many of YOUR favorite experiences that were sent in through social media. "Oh, snap..." Meagan helps Jeff go back in time through language. Jeff tries to re-live the magic of a midnight showing of Endgame. 

Spoiler Alert - We talk about movies and some of their best and/or shocking moments. None of them are current - but if you hear us mention something and you haven't seen it yet - just hum your favorite movie theme song really loudly and we'll get through it together!

Huge thank you to everyone who sent in their experiences - keep them coming and we'll definitely do this again.
