#23 iPad Moms & Unlimited Screens – Why Parents Are Choosing Tablets

Hi, Fam!

"I don't restrict screen time so my kids aren't obsessed with it." "I don't like limiting my kids from anything." "It helps them self-regulate."

Is it even possible to avoid materialism in today's world? Or are we trapped in a cycle that's turning our children into entitled consumers?

"Why can't I have it? You never buy me anything!" "This is boring already." "Is that all I'm getting?"

Sound familiar?

These phrases haunt parents everywhere, leaving us wondering: Where did we go wrong? Why does nothing ever seem enough?

I analyzed dozens of viral "what I got my child" TikTok hauls and saw why even loving, well-intentioned parents are creating a generation that struggles with gratitude. "Maybe if I get them this ONE more thing, they'll finally be happy..."
"Am I a bad parent if I don't buy what their friends have?"
"Why does Christmas joy fade so quickly now?"

These thoughts aren't your failure - they're symptoms of a larger problem affecting families across all income levels. Whether you're drowning in toy clutter, exhausted by constant "I wants," or just trying to raise kids with healthy values in a materialistic world, this episode offers practical wisdom without judgment.
