Today we are sharing our thoughts on how our parents raised us and how that influenced how our generation then raised kids in a “hovering” fashion. 

Becky also shares her concerns about her daughter moving home for the summer and Anne shares her experience with this with her own kids. For any girlfriends in this boat of kids temporarily moving home, we pray this one is so encouraging and empowering! 


Topics in our conversation today:

  1. Do you give your child rules when they return home from college to live at home for the summer?

  2. The balancing act of not policing your kids but still giving them independence and healthy expectations for living back at home

  3. Things giving us joy with our kids right now (there ARE pros of social media!)

  4. The only rule Anne had for her kids when they moved home for the summer

  5. Factors that impact your future relationship with your kids positivity 

  6. The powerful teacher that failure can be and why we need to let our kids make mistakes

  7. The struggle to trust your kids AND God

  8. Practical statements you can say to your kids when giving your opinions to them without judgment

  9. The wisdom of still investing in what fills you up, even when they are home for the summer. 

  10. The grief of things still changing and evolving and how to deal with that in a healthy way

  11. Validation that this season has really hard, awkward and not fun parts

  12. Hope for a future where you actually enjoy an empty home
