Chris Stewart is officially the third host of The MAJO Podcast, and we figured there was no better way to kick off this new chapter than with a conversation that might irritate a few parents. We unpack a viral statement that says children don’t owe their parents gratitude for doing what parents are supposed to do - feeding them, showing up, providing. From there, the conversation gets honest. When we expect a “thank you,” are we looking for appreciation… or validation? We talk about parenting as responsibility, not transaction, the rise of adult children distancing themselves from their parents, and the uncomfortable reality that sometimes we want our kids to confirm that we mattered. This one isn’t anti-parent. It’s anti-ego. And if it hit a nerve, that might be the point.
What is The MAJO Podcast?
The MAJO Podcast is what happens when grown-ass married men say the quiet part out loud.
Join husband, dad, and psychotherapist Derek, husband, dad, bariatric patient and influencer Jason, and a new guest each week for funny, unfiltered convos about marriage, fatherhood, identity, and all the emotional sh*t we were never taught to talk about—but probably should.
