Let’s Know Less
In this episode, BT and Tubby dive into the age-old adage "Knowledge is Power" and question whether it holds true in today's tech-saturated world. They start by discussing how advancements in technology have given us unprecedented access to information about our kids and families. Unlike the past, where parents knew less and had to trust their kids' accounts of their day, today's parents can monitor their children 24/7 through smartphones, social media, and various apps.
They both share hilarious stories about how their husbands are way more relaxed, blissfully unaware of the endless drama of their kids' school and social lives.
BT & Tubby also explore the flip side: how kids, feeling more comfortable with technology, are more open than ever about their thoughts and feelings. This increased communication, while beneficial, can also be overwhelming for parents who feel the pressure to constantly process and respond to this influx of information.
BT and Tubby debate whether this constant access to information truly empowers parents or just adds to their stress levels. They consider the idea that sometimes, less knowledge might lead to a more peaceful state of mind. Tubby argues that while it's important to stay informed, there needs to be a balance to avoid information overload.
In their signature style, BT and Tubby mix humor with thoughtful insights, leaving listeners with plenty to ponder about the true value of knowledge in the digital age.
