Common Sense Ain't Common: Hospital Parking Fees, Adulting at 18 & The Parenting License

What is up, y’all! Welcome back to another soulful, candid, and hilarious Wednesday with your favorites, Mike and Tiff, on Damn We Grown! You know you’ve reached a “certain age” when bills aren’t just arriving every month—they feel like the opps waiting to jump you the moment you check the mail. But this week, we’re setting aside the everyday grind to talk about things that simply should be common sense, even though society insists on doing the exact opposite. We’re breaking down a viral list of everyday rules that just make sense: Hospital Parking: Why charging people to park while visiting sick family or giving birth is straight-up diabolical. The 18-Year-Old Myth: Why expecting an 18-year-old to have life figured out is wild when their prefrontal cortex isn't even done cooking until 25! The Parenting "License": A spicy debate on whether raising the next generation should require a certification—or at least some skin in the game. The Domestic Violence Offender List & Dating Background Checks: Mike and Tiff pitch a million-dollar app idea: TSA PreCheck for dating! Hotel Checkout Shenanigans: Why check-in is at 3:00 PM but they’re kicking you out by 10:00 AM. Who Gets Paid What: The real reason teachers, nurses, and firefighters deserve the big bags over entertainers. Before diving into the debate, we catch you up on the weekend vibe: Tiff’s creative journey with her new photography page (@teatodd2photos), our 85mil photo walk through Gardena with Zay Monae, Maddi’s growing eye behind the lens, and how a quick craving at the Domo Cafe turned into an accidental $81 bill for three burgers! Grab your green tea, get comfortable, and laugh with us through the madness. Because damn… we grown!
