Your kid gets a tattoo. Or disappears on a 12-hour solo road trip. And doesn’t tell you either one’s happening. Sound familiar? This week, the Fishes tackle the tough stuff—what it feels like when your kids are technically adults, but still your kids, and they start making big decisions you’re not part of.
They get honest about:
Navigating “adulting” kids and the grief of being needed less
Supporting choices you might not agree with (hello, surprise ink)
Building trust for the real conversations
Promposals, dorm prep, and the emotional chaos of senior spring
And yes, the Amazon wish list is back—and it’s dorm-ready
In What’s for Dinner, it’s a comforting, creamy Chicken Tetrazzini straight from Nancy’s mother-in-law Judy. One pan, freezer-friendly, and full of love.
Letting go isn’t easy. But talking about it helps. Jump in.
