Ever notice how a bedtime standoff, a backtalk moment, or a flat-out refusal can turn into you against your kid? Jesse sits down with Mo & Tona Ottinger for an honest look at what happens when parenting starts to feel like a competition, and why "winning" a moment can quietly cost you the relationship. This one includes real, unfiltered stories (including a New Year's Eve bedtime battle that's now family legend) and a simple mindset shift that changes how you handle the next hard moment.
What we cover in this episode
Why parenting can start to feel like you're on opposite sides of the net from your own kid, and how to get back on the same team
The difference between winning an interaction and being "rightly related," and why the second one matters more long term
A real, unfiltered bedtime story about doubling down that went sideways (and the do-over that followed)
What to do when your expectations and your child's needs are out of sync, especially with kids who struggle with big behaviors
A simple practice for slowing the moment down mid-conflict so you can respond instead of react
