Kids Can’t Do Laundry, Young People Are Lonely & Finding Love at Costco
<p>Are parents so focused on raising successful kids that we're forgetting to teach them how to actually take care of themselves? Why are young adults spending more time completely alone? And has Costco somehow become America's new social club?We’re digging into the debate over kids and basic life skills; cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, doing laundry and all the boring things you eventually need to know to live on your own. Then, we look at new data on young adult loneliness and why some people in their 20s are spending entire days without seeing another person.Plus: welcome to Analog Summer. People are putting down their phones, picking up film cameras, books and knitting needles, and even carrying “analog bags” filled with things to do instead of scrolling.Basically: parenting, loneliness, money anxiety, marriage, friendship, screen fatigue, Costco romance and extremely rich people taking gap years. Just a normal week.<strong>Credits</strong>:Hosted by Tiege Dooley-Panko and Samantha Kubota. Produced by Lauren Lewis. Filmed and edited by Alex Alvarez.<br></p>
