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.

🎙️ Real moms. Real talk. Zero Credentials.

It’s time for another Mom Confessions episode — where real moms anonymously share the funny, honest, and sometimes questionable things they’ve done to survive parenting and mom life.

In this episode, we react (and try really hard not to judge!) to real motherhood confessions involving diaper disasters, bedtime tricks, and grocery store decisions made in full survival mode.

We’re talking:

• ​Poop-covered pants
• ​A secret hack to get kids to bed earlier
• ​Parenting “shortcuts” at the checkout line 😬

If you love honest conversations about motherhood, parenting struggles, and the chaos of raising kids, this episode is for you.

It’s another Unqualified Advice episode — and this one is scandalous! A listener asks: what do you do when you know your neighbor and friend is having an affair… with another dad from your kids’ school? Do you stay out of it? Say something? Pretend you don’t know?

We dive into friendship boundaries, community drama, moral dilemmas, and the impossible situations moms sometimes get pulled into. As always, we’re not experts — just real moms giving real (and very unqualified) advice.

If you’ve ever been stuck in the middle of friendship drama, secrets, or awkward school-parent situations, this episode is for you. Please weigh in with what you would do… comment on on Instagram post or send us a DM.

Thinking about a mommy makeover but not sure how to talk to your husband — or explain plastic surgery to your kids? And how do you know if your child is truly ready for kindergarten or if you should consider kindergarten redshirting and waiting a year?

In this episode of Dear Liz & Lauren, we offer our unqualified advice to answer real mom questions about discussing cosmetic surgery with your spouse, talking to your family about a mommy makeover, and deciding whether to delay kindergarten based on readiness, maturity, and cutoff dates.

Mom Confessions is back—and this episode proves parenting is mostly about survival.

In this episode of Dear Liz & Lauren, moms anonymously confess the lies and shortcuts they’ve used just to get through the day. Confessions include bedtime threats involving the cops, creative limits placed on milk consumption, luxury lies about footwear, and one mom who made a relatable choice for some much-needed alone time.

These real mom confessions are funny, honest, and completely judgment-free... well, if you don’t count Liz’s accidental moment of judgement 😆 If you love relatable parenting stories, motherhood humor, and knowing you’re not alone in the chaos, this episode is for you.

You keep confessing, and we’ll keep spilling the tea ☕️ Thanks for helping us let other moms know they aren’t alone in this messy world of motherhood! 🙏
