What do Hipster Parents Sound Like to Kids?
OUR LATEST VIDEOS
What does conversation at the hipster parents couch sound like to the kids?
MOM: Did you see the cute thing the kid did today? DAD: Yeah, we need to make sure he doesn't do anything cute. That's not cool. FRIEND: Hey, I think they're watching kid TV over there. MOM: Shit! I thought I'd set it to only play MTV2. DAD: Shut up...This is the best part of the song. MOM: So are you taking the kid to the loud smelly grown-up concert tomorrow? He was kind of crying about it. DAD: He's going to love it. Dammit. MOM: They saw some fun toys at their friend's today that we can deprive them of... DAD: Cool. MOM: Cool. DAD: Cool. MOM: Cool. DAD: Cool. DAD: Cool. MOM: The girl asked for a pink thing, but I bought her an ironic T-Shirt instead. DAD: Yeah, it's important that she learn to think for herself. Not just fall into what she wants because everyone else is doing it. MOM: Those kids are lucky to have parents who are so cool and youthful like us, even though we're in our 50s. DAD: I like smoking this funny cigarette. It makes me stupid. MOM: I took away all their candy so we can eat it after they go to bed. Anyone else feel the vibe? Send in your version of grown-up stuff as heard by kids.About the Author

Founder of Mommy Poppins
A fourth-generation Brooklynite, Anna started Mommy Poppins in 2007 to help families find the best things to do with kids in NYC, with a particular emphasis on sharing activities that are free, affordable, and enriching. The site, used by millions of families, has grown to become the ultimate resource for parents in the major US cities, plus travel guides for 100s of destinations.
Anna is a believer in the magic of summer camps, traveling with kids, and that you can raise kids on a budget and still have a rich life full of amazing memories. Anna's first Mommy Poppins book, The Young Traveler's Journal and Activity Book, published in 2025 and co-written with her daughter, Amelia Eigerman, brings that ethos to life, in addition to this website.
