<description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode of &lt;em&gt;Big Mama’s House&lt;/em&gt;, Big Mama calls out the quiet truth: a lot of teens feel completely invisible at home. She reads real survey results and shares stories from student presentations, including one girl who dropped the now-legendary line: "This isn’t Build-A-Bear."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s not about stuff. It’s about presence, connection, and being seen. From phone-addicted parents to screen-raised kids, this episode hits hard but keeps it real. Big Mama shares a brutal poolside moment with an Insta-mom, plus a heart-wrenching student story about growing up without ever having a conversation that &lt;em&gt;mattered.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;This message is for the squids — and maybe for your parents too (if they can put their phone down long enough to hear it).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key Takeaways: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;You’re not alone — So many teens feel unseen, unheard, or just… tolerated. That doesn’t mean you’re wrong to want more.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You're allowed to ask for connection. Wanting your parent to know you is valid.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Love isn’t stuff. Phones, clothes, tablets ≠ attention, affection, or presence.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Saying it out loud helps. Use this episode as a jumping-off point to start a convo. (Even if it feels awkward.)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You don’t have to blame yourself. If your parent doesn’t show up the way you need — that’s on them, not you.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You may be more emotionally mature than some adults. And that’s powerful.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Action Items: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Use the insights and stories shared in this episode as icebreakers to have real conversations with the people you love.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Reflect on how you can be more present and engaged with the world… PARENTS:&amp;nbsp;put down YOUR devices and have meaningful conversations.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Parents:&amp;nbsp;Seek to understand your child as an individual and make an effort to connect with them, rather than just providing material things.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Episode Highlights:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;0:08 - Intro — Big Mama kicks off the episode with the truth: Teens are tired of being ignored by their parents.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1:12&amp;nbsp;- Why she keeps doing student events — even when she’s sleep-deprived and running on caffeine and chaos.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1:34&amp;nbsp;- Where the real data comes from — Big Mama explains how student convos and 15 years of surveys shape everything she teaches.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2:39 - What teens actually want — Spoiler: it’s not money, shoes, or a Dodge Charger (except for one kid).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;3:27&amp;nbsp;- The Big 5 asks from teens: no unapproved posts, put the phone down, help with screen limits, real convo time, and just… be present.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;4:32&amp;nbsp;- “Just showing up” isn’t enough — teens want habits of connection, not drive-by check-ins.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;5:00- Why parents struggle — no manual, generational baggage, and general chaos.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;6:13- &lt;strong&gt;Big Mama Life tip — “There’s always someone better off and someone worse off.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;7:10- Poolside InstaMom Fail — Big Mama recounts a gut-punching moment with a mom glued to Instagram while her daughter begs for attention.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;8:40- &lt;strong&gt;Big Mama Life Tip: The opposite of love isn't hate.

It’s about presence, connection, and being seen. From phone-addicted parents to screen-raised kids, this episode hits hard but keeps it real. Big Mama shares a brutal poolside moment with an Insta-mom, plus a heart-wrenching student story about growing up without ever having a conversation that mattered.
