We got a submission that made us stop and think…

A family member keeps making comments about a child’s weight—and no one is saying anything.

But here’s the question…

Is it your place to step in if it’s not your child?

In this episode of Dear Liz & Lauren, we’re giving our very unqualified advice on:

Handling body shaming comments about kids

Where the line is between “not your business” and “this isn’t okay”

Protecting kids from harmful messages about body image

Setting boundaries without blowing up the family dynamic

Because sometimes staying quiet feels easier…

but it doesn’t always feel right.

And let’s be honest—these are the situations you can’t always talk about with people in your real life.

If you’ve got one… we’ll keep it anonymous -

Real moms. Real talk. Zero credentials.

Mean girls, friendship drama, and the helpless feeling of watching your child struggle socially… what should moms actually do?

In this Unqualified Advice episode of Dear Liz and Lauren, a mom writes in asking how to handle a painful situation: her daughter is dealing with mean girls and toxic friendships, and she’s not sure when to step in or when to let her daughter handle it herself.

We talk about how to support your daughter without making things worse, what to say when girls are being mean or excluding others,

when parents should intervene in friendship drama, and

helping kids build confidence and healthy friendships.

As always, we’re giving completely unqualified advice — just two moms sharing honest thoughts, real experiences, and a lot of empathy for how hard parenting moments like this can be.

If you’re raising kids, navigating social drama, or trying to help your kid deal with mean girls, this episode is for you.

Real Moms. Real Talk. Zero Credentials.

It’s another Unqualified Advice episode — where we answer real questions from moms and give our very unqualified opinions.

This week’s dilemmas are all about mom friendships, and let’s be honest… they can be complicated.

One listener recently moved to a new city and is struggling to make mom friends beyond the casual acquaintance stage. How do you actually build real friendships as an adult — especially as a busy mom?

Another mom has the opposite problem: her son has a close group of friends, and all the moms hang out at every playdate… but she can’t stand them. What do you do when your kid’s friendships come with parents you don’t click with?

We talk about making friends as an adult, navigating mom friend groups, playdate politics, and the awkward reality of parenting social circles.

As always, we’re not experts — just real moms giving very unqualified advice.
