Summary

Subscribe so you never miss an episode In this episode of our Regretful Parents series, Kristen and Erika react to a viral Reddit post from a mom who was *thrilled* when her ex-husband filed for full custody of their 3-year-old son — and immediately booked a flight. We get into the messy reality of co-parenting, why dads get a pass for bad parenting while moms never do, the way society fails boys by refusing to discipline them, and why this woman packing her bags (and her cat) might actually be… the right call? 💬 Topics we cover:• Regretful parents Reddit reactions• Co-parenting gone wrong — and when to just let go• The "let them" philosophy and when it actually applies• Why boys are socialized differently — and why that's a problem• Childfree life wins: peace, quiet, and traveling solo• The green card plot twist no one saw coming• Australia: the ultimate escape plan?
