Raising A Teen Only Child
Episode 12
Wednesday, 15 April, 2026
Send us Fan MailTime doesn’t warn you before it speeds up. One minute we’re starting this mother son podcast when McCoy enters seventh grade, and the next he’s 17, finishing junior year, and staring down adulthood like it’s right around the corner. Kelli and Maccoy are back as the OG dynamic duo, talking honestly about what it feels like to raise an only child, why the years feel so short, and how you try to slow down and actually live inside the season you’re in.From there, we do what real families do: bounce through the day. We talk about a friend’s car breaking down, the chaos of recording when the mic levels don’t look right, and the oddly healing comfort of backyard life in Minnesota. Baby bunnies show up, chickens wander past the window, and we admit how weirdly heavy it feels when eggs don’t hatch. It’s everyday parenting and teen life, unfiltered.Then we zoom way out into space exploration, the Artemis trip around the moon, and the question that won’t go away: with that many planets, how could there not be other life somewhere? We also hit pop culture hard Euphoria, The Last of Us, and The Walking Dead and talk about what kind of “scary” is fun versus what kind crosses into torture and makes you tap out. Finally, we throw in two listener-friendly games: a dilemma about restarting your life at a random age and a would you rather that gets surprisingly intense.If you like family conversations that swing from heartfelt to hilarious without feeling scripted, hit play.
