Winter break is here, and in this episode, we share how we manage the chaos of having all the kids home! We discuss some parenting wins, (and struggles), holiday traditions, like our Secret Santa exchange, and what we have done so far during winter break.

Of course, no break is complete without some sibling drama! Game nights get competitive, and our Secret Santa tradition takes an unexpected turn when one family member decides that giving is optional. We debate whether Secret Santa will make a comeback next year and reflect on the importance of teaching kids generosity.

We also dive into teaching kids responsibility through chores and allowance, from making up beds to learning basic daily living skills. Plus, we chat about raising a creative child who turns everything into a DIY project and the tough lesson of losing iPad privileges for talking back.

Another big topic? Age-appropriate TV shows and media exposure. We discuss why we’re intentional about what our kids watch and how we try to protect their childhood without rushing them to grow up too soon. And before we go, we touch on snow days—a topic we’ll explore more in a future episode.

If you are navigating parenting, discipline, and setting boundaries for kids, this one is for you!

Tune in for plenty of laughs, unfiltered relatable parenting moments, and a glimpse into how our family makes the most of winter break!

In this episode of B-Rich Family Chronicles, we dive into the challenges and joys of planning Christmas when you’re hosting at your house this year. From creating a schedule to balancing time between two families, we talk about crafting the perfect Christmas Day, including a menu mix of traditional and non-traditional dishes. We explore the role of home-cooked meals and how family meals have changed over generations.

The episode also touches on the concept of generational living—its benefits and challenges—and the evolving dynamics of grandparent-grandchild relationships. How long is too long to live with parents? Should kids be able to return home after they’ve grown? We discuss the need for a supportive village, especially with young parents, and reflect on how teen pregnancy was hidden in earlier generations.

Join us as we explore these thought-provoking questions and more, offering honest insights about family, community, and traditions.
