What do you do when your child defies you at every turn, refuses to let go of clutter, or prefers their grandmother over you? In this jam-packed episode, Kirk tackles some of the toughest, most sensitive questions parents face. From unpacking the controversial "ODD" diagnosis to navigating step-parent boundaries and dealing with anxious, non-compliant tweens, this unfiltered Q&A episode is a deep dive into the messy, complicated realities of modern parenting. If you're tired of textbook advice that doesn't work in the real world, this one is for you.
