Parenting Out Loud: The Death Of The Dining Table & 'Outdated' Schooling

Outlouders, the second episode of Parenting Out Loud has just dropped so we're adding it here as a little Saturday treat. You. Are. Welcome.

Join Jessie Stephens and Amelia Lester as they discuss:

  • Is the family dinner really just a guilt trip with cutlery?
  • If Kourtney Kardashian is on to something when she says school's outdated.
  • The model who makes money from encouraging women and girls to live a 'skinny' lifestyle. Different generation, different platform, same disturbing message.

And in their reccos this week:

  • Amelia's got a brilliantly grim podcast that both you and your kid will love.

  • Jessie shares her sneaky hack to score all the toys—no meltdown required.

Come join the conversation. New eps drop Saturdays. No shoulder spit-ups required.
