Your friends Maxine and Millie get real about parenting teenagers. From handling tough questions to learning to let their kids experience the consequences of their own actions, they bare it all in a unfiltered conversation about nurturing almost-adults. They also reflect on the strategies used by their parents, how these experiences influenced their own approach to parenting, and how they measure up to WebMD’s list of biggest parenting mistakes.
