What does motherhood really look like inside one busy, loving, hilarious family?

In this special Mother’s Day episode, Rebecca Greene sits down with Seth and their three children, Max, Ella, and Lillie, for a heartfelt family conversation about motherhood, marriage, emotions, growing up, and what it means to feel loved and supported.

This episode is tender, funny, honest, and very Whinypaluza. From Disney memories and college drop offs to emotional regulation, high standards, late night talks, and the infamous “too many questions,” the Greene family gives listeners a real look at the beautiful, messy, meaningful work of raising children.

Key Takeaways:

→ Motherhood brings more emotions than anyone can prepare for.

→ Kids often want independence before parents are ready to let go.

→ Teenagers need patience, calm, support, and room to talk when they are ready.

→ Family memories often come from the simplest moments, late night talks, trips, and being fully present.

→ Emotional honesty can be a strength when parents model it with love.

→ Rebecca’s family reminds us that motherhood is not about perfection. It is about love, laughter, repair, and showing up again and again.

Rebecca closes the episode by reminding everyone to spend every day laughing, learning, and loving.
