- Where the phrase "the aliens sucked their brains out" came from and how my parents felt about raising not just 7 teenagers, but MANY others as well (cousins, "adoptees,' etc.).
- How teenagers make decisions based on emotion, not logic and consequences
- The time my parents surprised me on my birthday at the high school and how I felt at the time vs. now
- Ways that Dad was able to interact with us kids even while being a working dad
- The traditions our family had, and how this helped with bonding and connection, even during chaotic teenage years.
- How to handle when your teenager is acting out and experimenting with things that make you upset.
- The art of apologizing to teenage children, seeking to understand and validate, and properly communicate without jumping to conclusions
"If you want to be able to deal with your teenagers, they have to know they matter to you and not that they're a 'pain in the neck.'"
Favorite quote from Dad in this episode:
"I always did love you guys. That never changed. And you kids knew that"
