Hey Other Parents

About Hey Other Parents

Hey Other Parents is a weekly parenting podcast about the real-life chaos of raising kids, balancing family life, and trying to survive modern parenting without losing your mind. Each week, Michael Heit, Sara D, and Mike Levine have honest, funny, unfiltered conversations about parenting struggles, school stress, screen time, relationships, technology, family traditions, milestones, marriage, and the everyday moments nobody warns parents about. Some episodes are emotional. Some are ridiculous. Most are a mix of both. This isn’t a parenting advice podcast pretending to have all the answers. It’s three parents talking honestly about what parenting actually feels like — the guilt, the pressure, the laughter, the arguments, and the moments that somehow make it all worth it. If you’ve ever thought, “Wait… is it just me?” — you’re definitely not alone.

[…] We see all these families on Facebook, social media, whatever, doing all these highlight reels. And you're like, oh, man, I need to do that. Or and that's not the case. You know, your situation, your circumstances, your children's life, everything's different. And, you know, at the time. That you're going through it. You're doing the best that you can. And I think that's just important to remember because you're I think as parents, we try to give our kids everything that we either didn't have or the best of everything that we have. And, you know, you're just doing it. You're doing it. You know, whether it's. taking them to the park or taking them to you know disney world you know you're just you're doing it so don't compare but the idea i guess like is that kids really don't need the perfection right they just need consistency of love but the thing is is that we don't always see that You know, Sarah was like, you know, it's the little things that I started to make a list of, right?
