Humor… and maybe a glass (or bottle) of something full-bodied. 🍷In this laugh-out-loud episode of Burnt Pancakes: Momversations, I chat with Danielle Frank, author of A Wine Lover’s Guide to Parenting — a satirical rhyming storybook that pairs wine wisdom with the wild world of raising kids.Danielle spent over two decades in the wine and spirits industry before writing her debut book, blending (pun intended) her knowledge of wine with the realities of parenting she’s witnessed as an aunt and friend.

• 124. Generations of Parenting: How Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z Are Raising the Future

  In today’s episode of Burnt Pancakes: Momversations, we’re taking a time-traveling trip through parenting history, from the days of “Because I said so!” to the era of “Let’s name our feelings.”After a funny moment when my husband sounded exactly like his dad, we started wondering… Are we really parenting differently than the generations before us? Or have we just rebranded the same rules with softer language and better snacks?We break down generational parenting styles including:Boomer parenting (1946–1964): Structure, discipline, and responsibilityGen X parenting (1965–1980): Independence and problem-solvingMillennial parenting (1981–1996): Emotional intelligence and gentle guidanceGen Z parenting (1997–2012): Vulnerability and mental health awarenessGen Alpha (2013–present): Screen-savvy, emotionally aware, and always looking for the iPad chargerYou’ll hear: ✅ What each generation brought to parenting ✅ The benefits each generation passed down ✅ How every era shapes the next ✅ Why every parent thinks their kids might not survive adulthood ✅ A humorous look at Gen Alpha kids and their “skibidi” slangThe big takeaway? No generation nailed this whole parenting thing — but every generation moved us forward in some way.We may cringe when we hear ourselves say the things our parents said… but maybe they were on to something after all.📺 Watch the episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOpw5ui4uxJHx0tLFVtpnfSkpObfc4d-KYou can find Katie at:website: burntpancakes.comYouTube: @burnt.pancakesInstagram: @burntpancakeswithkatieEmail: [email protected]🚽 Did you know Katie is also a Certified Potty Trainer? 🚽☎️ Schedule a 1:1 chat today: Schedule Here💻 Digital Potty Training Course HERE📖 Potty Training E-Book HERE🆓 FREE potty training resources HEREInstagram: @itspottytimeTiktok: @itspottytime_Some episodes include affiliate links at no cost to you.
