137. OREOGATE! The Parenting Debate That Has Broken the Internet — with Anna

**Ohhhh we're going there.  Welcome to OREOGATE.** This week on **Dr Julie's Coffee Chats**, I'm introducing you to my friend Anna — and we're diving straight into one of the hottest parenting debates to take the internet by storm. Yes. We're talking about the Oreos. What starts as a conversation about one seemingly innocent parenting moment very quickly becomes a much bigger chat about modern parenting, judgement, food, boundaries, social media and the enormous pressure parents face to somehow get *everything* right. And because this is a Coffee Chat with two mums rather than a parenting lecture, expect plenty of honesty. We talk about the things parents are apparently no longer allowed to say out loud, the difference between what parenting looks like on the internet and what happens inside actual homes, where we each sit on OreoGate — and why sometimes we all need to give ourselves (and each other!) a little more grace. There are opinions. There are parenting truths. There are plenty of laughs. And there may be a few moments where Anna and I wonder whether we're about to get ourselves cancelled (there is swearing!). Whether you've been following the OreoGate debate or have absolutely NO idea what I'm talking about, grab a coffee and join us. This one is a proper **Coffee Chat** — two friends, two mums, no perfect answers and a very honest conversation about raising kids in a world where everyone seems to have an opinion on how we should do it. 🎙️ **Dr Julie's Coffee Chats** — real talk, real people and conversations worth having. This season of **Dr Julie's Coffee Chats** is proudly supported by **Fuel Box**, a fellow Wellington business helping busy Kiwis fuel their day.
