Description

Millennials are notorious for really cherishing their nostalgia. We can’t help it. We had really cool things. And we long for simpler times. But not too simple. A new parenting trend is emerging that blends modern convenience and invention with the laid back vibe of the 90s. From landline phones making a comeback to wiping the floor with your own progeny on MarioKart, Tori and Gwenna discuss Retro Parenting and how we’re already sort of accidentally been doing a lot of it. Because we are incredibly nostalgic millennials. Now pass the rubber band ball and untangle the phone cord before mom gets mad.
