Not Your Aunty

In this lively and personal discussion, Kiran and Shunali cover a wide range of topics from parenting styles, setting boundaries, and dealing with sleepovers to having 'the talk' about sex with their children. They share humorous and reflective anecdotes about their experiences and challenges with their children who are either teenagers or have entered adulthood. The conversation also delves into societal attitudes towards parenting, the influence of technology and media on the younger generation, and the cultural shifts in discussing sensitive topics openly. There's a segment on their parents' approaches, the impact of early exposure to adult content, and the importance of maintaining boundaries while fostering open communication. 00:00 A Fresh Start: Kiran's Morning Adventure 01:02 Parenting Dilemmas: To Send or Not to Send? 04:19 The Birds and the Bees: Early Conversations 08:01 Navigating Adolescence: Talks and Taboos 11:49 Innocent Swear Words: Kids and Language 18:23 Watching Movies with Family 19:10 Uncomfortable Intimate Scenes 19:40 Game of Thrones and Teenagers 20:02 Teens and Exposure to Porn 22:17 Social Media and Self-Objectification 28:52 Boundaries with Children 30:56 Therapists and Boundaries 31:59 Parental Control and Independence 33:55 Grandmother's Storage Room
